Red Magic 6 Pro Review: Power Overwhelming By KeenGamer - More Than Just a Game Site

Hello king gamers, and welcome to another review this time we have the red magic 6 pro gaming smartphone from Nubia. So let's get started, kicking things off with a design. The red magic 6 pro brings only a slight cosmetic change when compared to the previous red magic 5s model. There have been some changes to the design of the backplate, which now features a bit more minimal. Sleeker, look even the color options for both the base: red magic, 6 and red magic.6 pro are more subdued with the former coming in eclipse black and a ladder coming in this nice and shiny moon silver. But despite the changes, it's still immediately apparent that this is a phone made for gaming and fans of the gamer, aesthetic, no matter the model.

It's a definite departure from the minimalism that you see in most mainstream phones, which makes it extremely eye-catching and, frankly, very beautiful to look at in terms of build the red magic 6 pro has a metal frame body and the combination of glass and aluminum on the back. This makes it feel incredibly sturdy and premium, even more so than the previous red magic 5s. It's also slightly taller, narrower and slimmer than the 5s, which still means it's a big phone that is very difficult to handle, using only one hand still it has smooth curved edges and no protrusions, which at least makes it very comfortable to grip and hold when it comes to notable design features. There have been some changes when compared to 5s, and I can mostly say they are for the better, most, notably the power and the volume buttons are now relegated to different sides of the phone, which is definitely more convenient when its size and one hand usage are taken into account. Thankfully, Nubia also decided to remove the pin connectors, which previously stuck out like a sore thumb on the side of the phone.

What remained the same when compared to 5s are the positioning of the speaker, grille type c charging port and the sim card tray also unchanged, are the positioning of the shoulder triggers the game. Space switch as well as the internal fan intake and exhaust vents. Many audiophiles and gamers will also no doubt be very thankful that Nubia is still sticking with the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, which is still present here as well. Of course, the downside of various openings on all sides means that red magic, 6 pro, doesn't have an IP rating for dust or water resistance, so I definitely wouldn't take it with me to the beach as opposed to many other phones. The cameras here are situated smack in the middle inside this black line running across the backplate on the back is also where you'll find the branding and the staple of gaming gear and peripherals.

I'm of course, talking about the RGB. The 5s simply had it in the small red magic logo, but here there are also two small RGB strips with some surprisingly cool effects and colors to be enabled in the settings. These aren't in your face and nicely blend in with the design of the backplate. You can always turn them off to conserve battery or turn them on to make your phone even more eye-catching to the masses on the front side. Most notably, you have a small but completely non-intrusive.

Bezel that simply houses the front camera and the speaker, the bezel, is also there, so you can comfortably hug the phone and use the triggers without your hands, obscuring the screen and getting in the way of gameplay red magic.6 pro has a very sizable 6.8 inch AMOLED display with a 2400 by 1080 resolution and a pixel density of 388 dpi. The pixel density is on the lower end of some higher end smartphones, but still plenty dense to look fantastic, similar to the Lenovo legion gaming smartphone. All in all, the screen here can definitely look stunning thanks to the rich color profile and great contrast in my testing, I found that the screen brightness didn't go up to the advertised 630 nits and would instead go to around 470 nits at its brightest, even though that's not as bright as promised. It's on par with red magic 5s, which had excellent indoor and sufficient outdoor visibility. Now that's great and all, but the true star of the show here is the fastest on the market.165 hertz display refresh rate the refresh rate, has to be set manually through settings and, if you decide to crank it up to the max, expect an insanely, snappy and buttery smooth UI and gaming experience in the games that do support it. The speed demon aspect of red magic 6 pro is also evident in its 500hz single finger and 360hz multi-touch input rate, meaning all of your on-screen actions will be registered much quicker than on your average smartphone.

Now, if all of that wasn't enough red magic, 6 pro is powered by the beastly top of the line, snapdragon 888, which is combined with 16 gigabytes of lpddr5 ram and 256 gigabytes of very fast UFS 3.1 type storage. This high-end combination essentially means that red magic, 6 pro will chew through any task with ease, and you don't have to worry about overworking it with multitasking or graphically intense games. Benchmarking tools like geek bench, 5 and 3dmark, put it at a very or near the top in almost all performance stress tests, with the only real competition being other equally beastly gaming smartphones. Now, benchmarking tools are one thing, but in real life, sustained performance is another, and it's here, red magic 6 pro has a definite edge over competitors. Thanks to its built-in centrifugal fan, along with vapor chamber liquid cooling.

This is an amazing feature to have in a gaming phone and one that really helps cool things down during long play sessions. Besides the fact that the phone will almost never reach temperatures where you won't be able to hold it, you can forget about lag or sudden frame drops during gameplay. The only downside to the added cooling, especially if you odd, for the fan to go into turbo mode, is that it gets distracting loud. Luckily, you can get away with playing most games without using the turbofan option, so it shouldn't be an issue for anything but the longest of play sessions. If, however, you want to boost the cooling and performance, even more Nubia has the sized dual fan accessory, which simply snaps onto the back of the phone.

The ice dock really makes all the difference in the world and using it would usually reduce the device temperature by 3 to 7 degrees Celsius during intense gaming. It's also much quieter than the built-in fan, and it even has some cool looking RGB effects. If you find that what's already on the phone isn't enough, the downside of the dock is that its cable can get in the way of a comfortable grip and trigger usage, but also the fact that it takes a significant hit on your phone's battery, which you can charge while using it. Now, when I tested red magic 5s, I pointed out a lack of games that supported high refresh rates, and I'm glad that the situation has much improved. Since then, I managed to squeeze the 165 hertz out of games like real racing, 3 dead, trigger 2 vane glory and a few others, while many other games supported at least 120hz, which was still a good showcase of this phone's capabilities.

Call of Duty, mobile Genshin Impact and League of Legends were especially enjoyable to play, thanks to the triggers which can be designated to serve as any on-screen input. Not only will they help you play better, but they basically feel so great and intuitive to use that they make it insanely hard to go back to exclusively using the on-screen inputs. The camera attack, as well as the overall experience, remains mostly unchanged when compared to the red magic 5s on the back, you once again have the 64 megapixel main camera and 8 megapixel ultrawide, as well as a 2 megapixel macro camera like in the 5s. All of them are really solid and can deliver some good-looking photos in good lighting conditions. Images taken with the main camera provide a decent amount of detail and generally look perfect.

In some cases, you can notice some overexposure the processing going a bit overboard on sharpening or faraway objects, looking a bit softer than you would like, but it's nothing to bother an average user. Something I liked is that it does a great job of providing really accurate, true to life colors, as opposed to some other phones that tend to over saturate them. The ultra-wide and macro camera are somewhat buried in the software, with the former being accessible only through the pro mode and the latter being found in the camera family menu when compared to the main camera. The images taken with the ultrawide can get a bit noisier but are still perfectly serviceable, retaining the overall quality and realistic color composition of the main snapper, the macro camera, seeing as it's only 2 megapixels lacks detail and really only works well in the most ideal lighting conditions. The front-facing 8-megapixel camera captures a decent amount of details and once again handles colors extremely well.

The bulky effect can look unconvincing when the background is filled with hard to discern detail, and there can be some issues with overexposure in bright conditions, but it's an overall good selfie snapper, the main camera on red magic, 6 pro supports up to 8k recordings or 30 fps, as well as 4k at 30 and 60 fps. Both resolutions offer a huge amount of details and insane sharpness that you only truly appreciate looking at the videos on a larger 4k or 8, capable TV or monitor the 4k 30fps mode. Even has electronic image stabilization, which makes all the difference for videos taken when you're moving about what remained mostly unchanged in comparison to 5s are all the gimmicky features of the camera. Software again you'll rarely find any use for them, except for things like time, lapse, panorama or art camera, which can be somewhat fun to play around with in certain situations. The big 5050 William hour battery is first and foremost, designed to keep you gaming for as long as possible.

In fact, in most graphically intense games, you'll be able to squeeze out around 5-7 hours of pure gameplay, which is an overall good result for a more mixed usage scenario. I used it to make calls play music surf the web and play some games, and it easily had around 30 to 40 charge left at the end of the day. Of course, much of it will depend on the brightness level and screen refresh rate, which the phone dynamically switches, depending on what you're doing to conserve the battery the default charger coming in the box is going to be your standard, 30 watt, one which can take the phone from 0 to 100 in around 45 minutes. Something important to note is that red magic, 6 pro is also capable of using 120 watt charging, which, according to reports, should be able to charge the phone from 0 to 100 in mere 17 minutes. Also worry mention is that, as with nearly all other gaming phones, the red magic 6 pro doesn't have features like wireless or reverse wireless charging, red magic, 6 pro comes with android version 11, on top of which you have the red magic 4.0. Skin.

The skin itself is very bare bones, and much of the UI remains unchanged when compared to the previous version. Once again, you have some surface level cosmetic stuff that are distinctly red magic like built-in wallpapers, always on display animations, the fingerprint reader animation and some colorful icons. Well, that's far for the course from a 165hz screen, it's noticeable that improvements were made when it comes to navigating the UI, as everything here feels much snappier faster and more enjoyable. The fingerprint reader also received an upgrade, and when on the 5s, you had to hold the finger down for it to register here. All it takes is a light tap, and you're in other notable software features include the edge menu where you can add various shortcuts to tools and apps you often use.

Unfortunately, its usage is hampered by its fixed position. That's too high to reach when you're using a single hand. Another notable feature is the fact that you can make certain apps that support it essentially go into a small window that you can then move around the screen for easier multitasking. All of that aside, the most notable software feature of red magic 6 pro is the returning game space which you enable by flipping the small switch on the phone's side. The core functionalities of game space remain intact, but the entire thing has been polished and updated with several welcome additions.

Most everything, you'll need is situated in a quick menu that you reveal by swiping from the right. The game enhancement menu allows you to boost in-game performance at the expense of battery life, while the shoulder trigger menu allows you to designate what the shoulder triggers do and how sensitive they are. This can be done on a per-game basis, which is awesome if you play a lot of different games on your phone. The second row is a new excellent addition to this menu. It allows you to launch some apps over your game in windowed mode, so you don't have to exit the game or game space.

If, for example, you want to respond to some WhatsApp messages or search something through your browser, then you have a bunch of quick toggles through which you can change the refresh rate. Add a naming reticle in the middle of the screen record. The screen block messages, put your game in windowed mode and much, much more. In conclusion, the red magic 6 pro is undeniably one-off. If not the best option for mobile gaming out there and even a non-gaming crowd, could certainly appreciate its attractive design and high-end specs, while we'll definitely see the competition catch up to it.

In terms of screen refresh rate, it will still have the upper hand in terms of cooling system and the unmatched price of 700 dollars in a market where phones with similar specs go for nearly double.
