      @@shirotonbo6315 currently I’m on iPhone 13, but my last phone was the Galaxy S10. Both of which got hot whenever you did any intensive work on them such as video editing or high end games. My iPhone seems to throttle at just the right temp where as my android would occasionally only throttle once it was real hot and would throttle really terribly. It is most likely the software and not the hardware.

      Yeah old Red Magic owner here. Red Magic 5 G to be exact. If your phone locks and you reboot it, there's a chance they'll delete everything. I lost everything in it and the phone asking you randomly to input your pattern didn't help. I shouldn't have to put the pattern if I use the finger scanner. Battery didn't last the whole day either. Ended up getting a different phone and have the Lil one use it for YT kids.

      Red Magic 6 Pro here for two years now, the first 6ish months were a little rough with a handful of weird quirks that I considered annoying but not game breaking. After a few updates i'd say the last year of use has been pretty clean and the insane specs of the phone have held up really well. I've turned this thing into a gamecube(complete with video out and real GC controllers), a laptop(external displau strapped to 10,000 mah bank for roughly a month w/ 3-5 hrs daily use), and had it using the hotspot feature gave my laptop 200mbs down for hours while my internet provider was down for a couple days.

    Hi ETA Prime, I recently got that phone a few weeks ago and your video was the reason I bought it. I'm really enjoying using it. There's just one tiny problem.
    When I wanna play Warzone Mobile and the phone is connected to a TV, or a monitor via usb-c to HDMI adapter, I don't hear any audio while playing Warzone Mobile, no matter if in "console mode" or not. At first I thought maybe it's the adapter I use, but since Warzone Mobile is the only game that gives me this audio problem and all the other games work, I think I can rule this out.
    I already waited for game updates, but nothing changed. I also checked my settings and I also tried restarting and reinstalling. Unfortunately nothing worked.
    There's a Redmagic Studio app for PC and Audio works fine there, but the picture / video quality is worse. So if possible, I'd like to use it on my TV and maybe create some content with my capture card, a Elgato 4K X (I almost forgot I also tried this on another TV without a capture card between my phone and the TV and I had the same audio problems.)...
    Do you have an idea what I could try out? Or maybe someone from the community?
    I apologize for my English. I'm German and didn't have to use English for a long time, so I got a little rusty, especially with grammar.
    Greetings from Germany!

    Hi. I'm loving your videos. I'm a long time DEX user. Before dex i was using Continuum on Microsoft Lumia phones loved that also. Q: Do you thing there will be some revolution with this space with planned X-elite release and microsoft on arm pushthru? Any guesses if there will be more performing DEX with full fat windows bootable or any other way to use our phones even better? I'm still waiting for PC replacement in my pocket... Why do you think there are not more companies pushing this forward? There are just MOTOROLA, SAMSUNG, HUAWEI for a while and no other players in this space. We need competition to improve :) This phone is so powerful. It could be used as "desktop replacement" for office work for shure as well as samsung is ... Hope we will se more companies supporting desktop like experience with our phones. Have a nice day.

    You know, I would love this phone. I would get it. I keep seeing it, and they sound awesome... But they joined everyone with taking out the SD cards, and now they wont give us 1tb. If I cant have my expandable storage, then they need to step up the storage game. At this rate we will have some companies offering 2tb and others like this will still be staying at the lower ends. Its a gaming phone. Games take up space. Give me more.

      @_DashingAdi_ I have emulators for all the old systems, PS2, N64, GameCube, Wii. All that shit adds up. Not to mention other actual mobile games. Like Im gonna get Warzone when they comes out. Add on photos, videos, and other apps, and it adds ip.
      Do I need it? Probably not. But at the same time, 1tb has been offered for at least a few years now from other companies. A gaming phone needs to step it up. Or bring back the SD card slot, cause there really wasn't a reason for companies to ditch that outside of saving themselves money.

For the same price as a new phone, I can get two refurbished like new 6GB Ram 512GB Rom phones, with no hole punch, SD card slot, Super AMOLED 2960x1440 px resolution, S-Pen, a SD 845 chip that can still do games medium, do all multimedia, and Dex for running my Xreal glasses. The two batteries together give you 8000 mah. I wish they'd just make another Note 9 phone with triggers and a new chip.

      Then the same arguments apply against those phones advantages. Why would we care about having nicer cameras when they're already nice in general? Want professional photography then get an actual dedicated camera.
      And this phone aside from being cheaper by multiple hundreds of dollars, has better charging speed and battery capacity, in addition to running games smoother and being good at emulation.

Just an FYI this is not a phone for camera junkies, if you like to take a lot of selfies and photos, the cameras are lacking, not awful but not on the level of the Pixel or iphone picture quality. Your level of acceptance is all that matters. Other than that I get a kick out of emulating PS1, GBA and a couple of switch games on my commute to work. Add an external controller like the Gamesir X2, I play games that eliminate the issue with trying to play a game using the onscreen controls block your view of some of the screen. Try playing Cuphead with the onscreen controls and you'll know what I mean.
