This Phone Is A Beast! By TT Technology

Today we're going through the full unboxing and review of the Nubia red magic 6, and that's coming up right after this, if you're new here and want to stay up to date with the latest tech please hit subscribe, followed by the bell. You can also keep up on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter by clicking the links in the description, so today we're taking a look at the Nubia red magic 6 gaming phones, which is pretty much a gamer stream with some RGB top spec hardware and an incredible 165hz display before we get started, though, please like the video, if you're a fan of mobile gaming. Let me know in the comments what game you play the most. So if you're into mobile gaming, then you're probably well aware of the Nubia red magic range as they aim the whole range around gamers. To give you the best experience, as well as the latest hardware for running the games, we've already covered a brief first impression of the red magic 6. So now, after two weeks of using it we're going to take a much closer look.

So, as I said, when it comes to the red magic 6 display, we get a 165 hertz refresh rate along with a 500 hertz touch sampling rate. This is really going to give you a responsive touch for gaming. The display is a 6.8 inch, full HD, plus AMOLED display, and it's protected by 2.5 d, corning gorilla glass. It's got a resolution of 2400 by 1080 and an aspect ratio of 20 by nine and 630 nits of max brightness. It's a 10-bit display with a 91 screen to body ratio.

So, whether it's media or gaming, then it's going to be a great screen to do it. On now, the red magic 6 is powered by the latest snapdragon 8885g, and this runs at a clock, speed of up to 2.84 gigahertz and uses the arena 660 GPU. It comes with 12 gigs of ddr5 ram and 128 gigs of internal storage, and that is of course UFS 3.1. So it's pretty much enough to power any of today's games when it comes to games. This really is a beast and playing games with a 165 hertz refresh rate is incredible.

We also get to build built-in capacitive shoulder buttons. This is, of course, to help you with those first person, shooters, and they've actually got a 400 hertz sampling rate and an 8.3 millisecond response time. So now, let's take a look at the gaming. You've got the dedicated game, space switch on the side, and this instantly starts up the calling fans and brings us into the game space mode. If you do need a quiet gaming session, you can still turn the fan off.

However, as we know, a cool chip is a fast chip, so it's best to keep it on. If you want those temperatures down, the red magic 6 uses their new i6 multi-dimensional cooling system, and this not only keeps the phone cooler but, as I said, it keeps performance high with its liquid cooling and built-in centrifugal turbofan. The i6 cooling system reportedly keeps the CPU core temperature 16 degrees lower, and this can play a big part in performance. As I said, as these chips get hot, they tend to undercook to compensate meaning you get less performance in the game, so this could be a huge advantage for mobile gamers. The game space allows you to access your games from the menu as well as customizing it to add new apps and games and even change their icons.

Alternatively, you can open the game as normal and then just activate the game. Space switch when in game, and it will do the same thing while in the game space mode, the phone will automatically try and get the best performance and power consumption for the game, and it also opens a lot of new quick launch settings. It tells us our GPU and our CPU speeds. We can look at the gaming enhancements in place in super performance mode. If that's what we want, we can also set up our shoulder triggers on whatever game we're playing.

We can even open up picture-in-picture mode for lots of popular apps such as WhatsApp discord, telegram, Facebook, messenger and chrome. We can view our network usage, adjust brightness and access. Many more quick options from this bar we've also got refresh rate where we can quickly change our refresh rate between 165, 120, 90 or 60. Now we've got aiming assist, which gives you a customizable crosshair on screen. We've got manual record footage, turn fan on and off small window record, a new macro 4d shock for increased feedback record it to record gameplay.

Now controller settings lock, touch charge, separation, block messages, screen, hang up, super snap block calls display frame rate hunting mode which will massively adjust the colors and try and highlight enemies in gaming and then custom. If you want to add your own quick, starts that you're going to need with games, so you can see a lot of features there, and it's great to have so many at your fingertips. So, whatever game that you decide to throw the red magic 6 with its 165 hertz display and the snapdragon 8 is pretty much going to breeze anything with the shoulder buttons. It really makes playing them a pleasure and unfortunately, the only bad thing I've got to say in this department at the moment. Is that not all games support, 165, hertz and then even some that do compromise on quality and for some reason it won't? Let you choose the max quality and the max frame rate, but games like knives out that support 60 hertz it plays very smoothly and the frame rate is always locked around 60.

It might drop or increase by one or two. When we change to beach buggy racing which supports 160 hertz, it's incredible just how smooth it feels it's so smooth, so responsive, and it's a huge jump up from 60 hertz now, unfortunately, the refresh rate is something that you're not going to be able to see in this video, given that YouTube or my camera does not support 165 hertz. I do, however, feel after playing this, that 165 hertz is sort of hitting the max here, and we're getting into diminishing returns. It's great, and it's responsive, and you can see a difference over 144 hertz, but the jump isn't as big as if you went from 60 to 90. Now, if we move over to something like smash, bandits, which is a faster paced game, it's even more noticeable, and again it really does showcase what the phone can do.

It's also the same with real racing, and it just feels buttery smooth with frame rates, running high and being very stable. Now, of course, many of you out there are going to be wanting to play games like PUBG and Call of Duty, so let's go ahead and check them out so pub g. I set the graphics to ultra HD and the frame rate to ultra. Now these are the highest settings that the game currently allows. The gameplay is nice and smooth.

We get a steady frame rate of 40 frames. A second now PUBG is always a little on the lower frame rate side across all platforms, and this seems to be a limitation of the game. It seems to be capped at 40 frames. A second and it's not the fact that the device couldn't surpass that I then reduce the quality to HDR, and the game then allows for an extreme frame rate, and this increases the cap to 60 and again the red magic.6 gets a steady 60 frames, a second at all time and only ever jumps or drops by one or two. We can tell it's capped, as even if we look somewhere where the graphical load would be a lot less, there's just no jump in frame rate.

So if, for any reason you need to head back to your home screen while gaming, you can also keep the game going with picture in picture mode, and I can see this being very handy if you're in the middle of some competitive gaming. But then you really do have to back out for something next, we're going to take a look at Call of Duty mobile, which again has some strange restrictions in graphics and unfortunately, this is down to the developers and something that hopefully will unlock soon. Given the amount of gaming phones releasing. If we put the frame rate on ultra, it decreases the graphics quality to medium, but we get a solid 90 frames, a second through the game. It's buttery, smooth and lovely to play, and you can see.

There's a clear cap at 90 frames, a second we sometimes drop by one or two or go over by one or two, but that's normal. If I then set the graphics quality to very high, which is the max, it reduces our frame rate from ultra to max which, when we jump into a game appears to be locked at 60 frames. A second after playing both I found myself choosing to play medium and 90 as a higher refresh rate, just gives a much better experience and the reason that gamers do normally make that choice. So it's a shame that a lot of titles like Call of Duty and PUBG have these restrictions on frame rates, but hopefully it's something that they are going to remove in time as we are seeing some pretty powerful phones being released. There are still plenty of games, however, that do allow for 165 frames a second including the one.

I've already shown armor mobile ops and many more, of course, there's more to this phone than just playing games. So we're also going to take a look at the rest. So, firstly, if we take a good look at the red magic 6 on the front, we've got the cool speaker at the top, which is a 3d stereo speaker and, of course, we've got the second speaker on the bottom. You can also see that the selfie camera is embedded into the bezel instead of using a punch, hole or a notch, and this houses an 8 megapixel camera. The phone is well-built in.

It feels sturdy thanks to the metal center frame and a glass back, it's using aviation grade aluminum. The total dimensions are 169.86 by 77.19 by 9.8 millimeters and the phone weighs 220 grams on the top. We've got the three and a half millimeter audio jack for those of you that do want to use headphones and many gamers do prefer wide over Bluetooth on the right. We've got the power button in the middle, along with a fan vent and two capacitive shoulder buttons. This is a great idea.

Building them in as it makes them easy to use and very responsive on the bottom. We've got the speaker grille the USB type c port in the sim tray. Then, on the left hand, side, we've got the volume rocker the fan vent and the game space switch on the back. We've definitely got a gamer style design here, but I much prefer it over the previous generations. Although the bright red was very popular before I just prefer a much more subtle approach, we've got the red magic branding in the middle, and I have the 10 cent game logo on mine.

But this is not going to be on the global release. You can see here that they've opted for a triple camera setup, along with the triangular shaped led flash. One of my favorite features here is a notification light above and below the red accents that post to let you know, there's a notification when it comes to the cameras of the red magic 6. We get an 8 megapixel selfie camera in the top bezel, and this has an aperture of f 2.0 on the rear. We've got the triple camera setup, with a 64 megapixel wide angle and an aperture of f 1.79, an 8 megapixel ultra-wide, with an aperture of f 2.2 and a 2 megapixel depth camera with an aperture of f 2.4. Now the cameras did surprise me a little as with many other phones around this price bracket, the ultra-wide it tends to not perform so well in terms of detail, but it does get plenty when you're shooting from the 64 megapixel primary I've taken a lot of photos, and I've been getting some great detail and color true to what I was seeing: they're, not too flat or too saturated and actually quite true to life.

I would just say, maybe slightly on the flatter side. When it comes to the portrait shots, it didn't perform too well with the both effect on the selfie portraits. There was very little background blur and then on the rear camera. With a bit more of a complicated background. There was heavy background blur, but you can see very poor edge detections when it comes to night sight again it performs quite poorly.

It takes its time to take the shot, but it loses so much detail, and it doesn't brighten things up much. So I don't want to be too harsh. Here is. If we look at the picture of a pond, the red magic 6 was able to capture more than I could see with my eye. It's just not to the level that something like a pixel would, but of course, this is made for gamers, and it's not made for photographers now.

Finally, the video I tried 8k at 30 frames, a second which did come out quite well. Colors are vibrant and plenty of detail on focus, although you can clearly see a lack of stabilization if we move on to 4k at 60 frames a second, you can see great detail and color, and I was pleasantly surprised by the stabilization. It's pretty smooth for 4k as I was walking down. The pathway and my footsteps are minimized. Next up, we've got 1080p at 60 frames a second, and you can see its much smoother, although the drop in resolution has, of course resulted in a big drop in detail on the front camera you can see.

While I'm in focus the detail and the color behind me does seem to be very flat when it comes to the audio. It sounds okay, it's not the best, but it's perfectly satisfactory and there was a lot of wind coming at me, and it has coped relatively well with this. We'll just take a listen to the audio samples now, so now we're back in 4k at 60 frames a second, it's quite a windy day. So there's lots of wind coming towards me and, as you can see, there's lots of traffic making noise as well, so we'll see how the audio comes out in the final recording. So, of course this is 5g compatible.

It supports NFC, Bluetooth, 5.1 and Wi-Fi 6e for those of you that care about synthetic benchmarks. I've also run the red magic 6 through geek bench 5, and it scored a single core score of 1122 and a multi-core score of 3633. So that's not bad going at all when it comes to using the red magic 6, it's a pleasure to use, and it comes with red magic, OS 4, which is based on android 11. We've got an in-display fingerprint scanner for the biometrics, and it seems to work every time and relatively quickly for navigating you can choose whether you want the buttons at the bottom or use gestures and to be fair to them. It comes with a lot of the essential apps we need, but not too much bloatware.

We get an always-on display with plenty of choices of faces, and you can even set times of day for this always-on display to come on. If you don't want to use it all the time, we can also select the refresh rate that we want to use for the UI and also if we want the refresh rate displayed in the status bar at the top, as well as the usual display options, you can select from the standard home screen or have the app drawer. If that's what you prefer- and it even comes with plenty of themes- packs that are going to change your wallpapers as well as your icons, we've got the light strip on the back, which comes with plenty of customization settings. You don't get to pick from a color wheel, but you do get a choice of red, yellow, blue and green as well as a mixture of the two. You can also change the effects from lamp with sound, steady lighting, up, breathing, flashing, scintillation or flow.

We also have the additional red magic logo led. We can enable it or disable it, but this only comes in red. In this section we can choose the lights' behavior for many notifications, so there's plenty of customization. If you want to play around here with the large bright display, it also makes it great for browsing the web watching media and pretty much running any android app. You decide to throw at it.

The speakers that come with the device are pretty reasonable for a smartphone, but as always, there is that little lack of bass. Also, the haptic feedback feels like a big improvement from its predecessor with a little more strength to it, but personally, I'd just like to see that little more power from the vibration motor. So next up, we've got the packaging. When we open up the case, we first get the phone itself, as you can see. A nice subtle, gamer look, but we've already covered this next in the box, we've got the power brick.

Now the red magic 6 supports a whopping 66 watt fast charge with the global version. You're going to get a 30 watt charger inside the packaging. It's 66 watts, so the phone can be charged to 100 within 38 minutes. Now, next, up, we've got the USB cable which is USB to USB and then finally, we get the instruction manual along with the sim removal tool. Overall, it's a huge step up from the predecessor and Nubia are pushing the red magic gaming range in the right direction for the red magic 6 that we've looked at today.

It's 599 599 euros or 509 pounds which to be fair for a snapdragon 8 165 hertz display as well as 12 gigs of ram, is not bad going and, of course, I've placed the links down in the description below for those that want to pre-order. Today there is also a pro model with 16 gigs of ram. This is coming in at 699, 699 euros or 599 pounds, but overall it's a great gaming phone and a relatively low price point, comparing it to some competition. Now, if you need a phone for gaming in this bracket, then it's definitely going to be worth checking out and again, the only downside is really the photography, and it did do okay there. If gaming is the main priority, and then it's definitely a contender, and hopefully I have covered everything for you today, including the good and the bad.

But if there's anything, I've missed, or you've just simply got some questions, then ask them in the comments below, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can, but thanks for watching the video, if you liked it smash a thumbs up, if you didn't hit the thumbs down twice, and I'll, see you guys in the next one you.
