If you decide to purchase a fully-fledged gaming smartphone. Well, the odds are you're, probably purchasing it with the priority of gaming in mind, the red magic 5g. Does that perfectly well with its wonderful 144 Hertz display part with a snapdragon 865 processing chip, as well as an internal cooling fan and touch triggers, but how do the cameras stack up as opposed to its gaming performance? This phone is a monster, and this time around comes with a trio of cameras at the back. The primary sensor that we have here been a 64 megapixel, AMX 6x6 sensor with an aperture of f-18. This is indeed the successor to the 48 megapixel IMAX 586 sensor that we saw in so many phones last year. The secondary camera is an 8 megapixel ultra-wide, with an aperture off.
If 2.0, we have a tertiary camera here as well, which is a 2 megapixel macro lens, no optical image, stabilization in the trio over here, and there is, of course, that lack of a telephoto lens, the selfie camera comes paired with a 12 megapixel. If 2.0 sensor guys this is Technic. This is the Nubia red magic 5g. Camera review and without further ado, let's go we're. Going to start your with a couple main raw shots going down to a 4 to 1 pixel burning, so that was 64 mega pixels, then 4 to 1 pixel burning.
Bring it down to 16 megapixels here is the main raw again of 64 looks absolutely great, but 16 the colors really do pop when the shot is burned down. It does use some AI over here as well. You'll see how the colors pop on these phone booths, as well with the 16 megapixel still here with 4 to 1 pixel burning. So what four to one pixel burning pretty much does for those of you who don't know it takes the main sensor which is in this case 64 megapixels? U divided by 4. It then takes a sampling of whole pixels and combines them into a 1/4, a greater detail shot, and it does show you the new bar-8 magic 5g does do a fantastic job with its 64 mega pixel stores.
But if you want to change your resolution between 16 and 64 megapixels, you have to go into the settings which really sucks. Sometimes it can take quite a bit of time. It was a bit of a hassle for me when I was actually taking pictures on the fly for this camera review. Now, when we come to ultra-wide, we have an 8 megapixel ultra-wide sensor over here, and the difference between its main bin shot of the 16 megapixel to ultra-wide is not too bad. We don't have much ultra-wide blur on the edges of the shots either, which is good to see a lot of phones suffer from this.
It looks like a pretty flat forward shot. It looks absolutely great, though I must say that the color dynamic range and just the detail in the color itself doesn't really shine through and if you want to use ultra-wide, you can't just use it in the regular photo mode you actually have to switch over to Pro Mode I did ask team red at red magic. If they're going to be adding this to the photo mode, they said that there are no plans for it right now. Their priority is, of course, gaming, I'll get you something that they told me as well. A little later, but now we're going to go into zoom shots.
Of course, we don't have a telephoto lens here. So three times is digital. The presets on the phone is 3 5 & 10 10 times digital zoom is being the max over here. It does not look good at all guys remember. This is a gaming phone, and I'm glad that they have added two extra sensors over here.
Look at this shot. Ultra-wide looks great. The main shots taken on the red magic 5g are as good as the base camera phones out there. Even the bench shots look, absolutely fantastic, but as soon as you're going to zoom. Of course, you're hitting that digital front.
There you're not getting hybrid, zoom, and you're, not getting optical zoom, so the colors wash out completely the details, blown out of proportion, but you can still zoom, so I. Guess that's a cool thing here. We go we're going to zoom into some text over here once again, 64 megapixels, main shot looks absolutely fantastic. The color accuracy is seriously superb. It looks really realistic.
It is so true to life as if I'm standing there right now it looked exactly the same, but as soon as you're going to that zoom once again to there 10 times, you're, getting a lot of pixels icing effect going on the screen a lot of film grain over there's. Well now we're going into this construction is going on everywhere in Shanghai at the moment. So we're going to go into this crane right here, and we're going to zoom in, but once again, 16-megapixel been shot, looks fantastic zooming in you can see the loss of quality really shoots right up in terms of loss, especially going into that 10 times max soon. It's honestly, it looks better with a Samsung on 30, x, OOM, but remember that is using a periscope lens if we are referring to the s20 ultra. The macro sensor actually does such a superb job, I couldn't believe my eyes.
This is probably the best macro sensor that I have seen on a phone. You can get even closer up then on most other phones and just whether it's 2 megapixel, most of them do it at 5. Megapixels. Look at the detail that it retains so close up with a 2 megapixel store. It looks super fantastic, and here is my friend with the Yoda going into that macro.
You can see all the details on his face. You really does look great. This is the first time I must say I'm actually enjoying a macro camera on a phone. It would, it be nice to see telephoto or de skyrockets at the price of a bit, and this is a gaming phone. It comes to portrait mode, you get some other cool modes there we get diffusion over here, and we also get overlying.
That is what it's called, not overlaying, some cool little things to play around with, but regular, portraits, look fantastic on objects, there's not much edge, detection, a run, actual object. That does a fantastic job at blurring out the background. But when you throw a person as the subject in here, not an object, there is a ton of edge detection. All around me. You can see it's not doing a fantastic job, my wife OR, looking at in the distance, it does surprisingly do a great job over here.
Not much edge detection going on there does a great job once again when we throw an object in, and we use edge. Detection with the portrait mode does a superb job when it comes to an object, but not really. A person also have some artsy modes. There is something called art mode on here, so I thought I'd flick through them and show you guys. It fills the whole screen, but it does such a great job, and it actually processes the photo so darn fast, but these watercolor oil painting we have Expressionists.
It looks absolutely fantastic just to get a different kind of look these. This would be great for an Instagram pic, maybe I'll, post one soon. When it comes to video, we have 8k 30 frames per second, of course, most 8k true a case on snapdragon 865 searches on the Samsung can already do 15 frames per second, because it is doing it at mates of this actually up scales from 6k. Then, with 4k we get 60 frames per second, there is no optical image stabilization. You know it does look pretty stable, there's no stabilization mode in either guys.
This is not a phone for camera and videography, but I must say its main images. Look surprisingly, great 1080p does not look the best, but it is the most stable out of the bunch at 60 frames per second good to see that we have 60 frames per second year. Okay, it's a lot more usable if you're, not personally walking around you're just moving side to side. As you can see, I remember it is up scaled from six K. It looks fantastic.
The quality just looks incredible: there is actually a tripod mode for 8k. So if you pop your phone on a tripod, and you let things pass, if I think it could look absolutely phenomenal for K 60 frames per second is a lot more stable, yeah I, still a little jittery. Obviously, 1080p 60fps is the smoothest option of the bunch over here, but that is all we have guys. There is no ultra-wide mode when it comes to video recording, even though we have support for an ultra-wide camera I'll get to that in a second 1080p 30fps time-lapse looks fantastic uh via pop this on a tripod for thirty minutes really looks great. We have 1920 FPS slow-motion, though it is virtually impossible to record anything that is not consistently moving past you so that train, for example, was, so I could record that, as you guys can see, even at just Full HD 30 frames per second, there is no option for ultra-wide I did ask team red at red magic, and they told me that it is in the works.
So there is currently no video option with the ultra-wide camera, but they will add it in a future software update. When it comes to night shots, you can see a lot more color, and it's a lot brighter a lot more detail when we turn on night mode, as you guys can see here with this water bottle going indoors. Yet it's not too dark, but as soon as we jump into night mode, a lot more detail shines through. So you can actually use night mode even when it is dimly lit, not completely dark, and it really pops all the colors and the detail looks fantastic, specially OSI. With these four tacos, you can see it a lot better with night mode turned on slightly darker situation here out on the streets setting on night mode, really brightens up the shot it doesn't make it look as if it's a day picture which I like I, wanted to still look like an evening picture, but it really brings the clarity aspect through a lot of phones such as the one plus or the Samsung they'll, make it look as if it's a complete day shot if I want a day looking photo, then I'm going to take the photo during the day.
You still want that feel that it's evening, so now we're on main over here, and now we're going to shoot over tonight. Once you get a once again, you can see it is a not photo, but things look a lot more clear. Sometimes you get a bit of grain, so this is a picture of a restaurant. I went to the other day. It looks fantastic, but not so much the ultra-wide lens, but look at that night shot really great job good job Nubia, going into the little taco saloon.
Yeah, ultra-wide once again looks okay, but main 16 bins looks great and wait for it. Night mode looks fantastic. Look at the detail in the colors. It looks really great. Once again, we have an ultra-wide shot over here.
It's okay to lose quite a bit of color and a little of detail going into the main shot still looks pretty decent, but once again the night mode just looks phenomenal. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with the night photography on a gaming phone I. Never thought I'd be saying that and when we switch over to night mode over here on the street, look how it controls all the lights over. There really brings them down to the natural source. There is a bit of like a noise from the light, but it still does a fantastic job of handling it when it gets really dark.
Now it is super doc. This was at like 2:00 a. m. guys going in tonight. Does not look the greatest over here, but it still does a decent job.
I like to go play football sometimes, and this ultra-wide shot. Look. There came the main shot looked okay over here, but shooting into night mode. It looks really great, but you can see a little of issues, not sure if you guys can pick up on them some way around. We don't have Zoom night mode options here, but we do have a regular zoom so three times five times this is not night mode.
Just regular zoom at night doesn't look terrible, not the best though, but it doesn't look terrible. Ultra-wide does not look great in a really dark situation. Over here, 16 megapixel main shot with night mode off doesn't look too bad. Look how it controls the light with night mode on it looks fantastic now we're going to go into a zoom again, remember no night mode. Over yeah three times digital zoom doesn't look terrible five times digital zoom once more and then our max, which is ten times digital zoom, still doesn't do a terrible job because it was really, really dark in the situation.
When it comes to night videography, the 8k is pretty much unusable. Well, it's actually brighter than the other modes, but it's so subtle. It's not really recommended using it at night. It even says in the app based for outdoor day use only 4k, 60 frames per second looks a lot worse than EU picking up a lot less resolution. So everything is a lot darker and a lot more black.
The same thing can be saved with 1080p. It looks a little better than 4k, though I think 4k looks the worst, but the thing is with 1080p. There are a lot more grains, a lot more film grain that you can see picking up on the screen compared to the previous two because of the resolution lacking 12 megapixel selfie. Still it is 12 megapixel, guys, I know a lot of people say it's eight, but literally on the phone itself, it says: 12 megapixels I did confirm it is 12. The selfie photos look absolutely great with portrait mode.
It does not work. I, don't know what it is. I did switch it to portrait mode, every single one that I took with portrait mode. It does not blow the background, I'm gonna, let them know and see if that they can fix this issue, and hopefully we can get a bit of a background blur over here. As you guys can see main shot here and portrait look identical there.
There are different photos, but there is no blur at the back over there. We're gonna doesn't handle things either well when it is too bright. In the background now we're getting hit over to some selfie video recording. This is a 1080p 30 frames per second selfie, but you're recording on the red magic 5g. It is completely limited to 1080p resolution and capped at 30 frames per second, when video recording using the selfie cam.
You know what you guys think in the comments section down below of the video and audio quality, when using selfie video recording on the red magic 5g. There is no night mode for taking selfies using the selfie camera at night, but it doesn't look terrible. I have definitely seen worse on flagship phones, phones, don't really know what they're doing when they're taking a picture at night and when there's a super dark. You can't even see my face over here, but not many people do this anyway. So I guess nothing really to worry about.
Not many people have to take video selfie video recording at night either, and this is what it looks like it is garbage, but you know what it's okay, because this is not really a feature that people really generally care about the red magic 5g. Yes, it's a gaming phone, but the three cameras on the back do a fantastic job. Most of the time, its main sensor, the iMac six eight six and said that sixty-four megapixel still looks breathtaking and burned down, looks even better. The color accuracy is on par over there, but at the end of the day, guys this is a gaming fun. It is built for gaming.
It has everything that you would want in a gaming phone I'm just glad to see that they didn't completely skimp out on the camera department, and it still does a fantastic job when it comes to taking photos. I hope that you guys enjoy the camera review of the red magic 5g. This is Technic, and I'll, see you in the next one.
