Red Magic 9 Pro Unboxing & Review | Super-Powered Gaming Smartphone!
Unboxing Nubia's Red Magic 9 Pro, with a review of the gaming performance, testing that Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 power with Genshin Impact etc. Gamers will adore the Red Magic 9 Pro's epic performance, plus the impressive battery life and dedicated game tools. It's solid competition for the ASUS ROG Phone 8 and other gaming phones. Grab yours here: bit.ly/3TtfsqU
Vs the 8S Pro, you can expect plenty of upgrades. That Qualcomm chipset is just one massive factor, which means you can play Genshin Impact without a single judder in the 60FPS frame rate for over an hour. The Red Magic 9 Pro also boosts the battery size to 6500mAh, and you can play Genshin for well over five hours before the phone runs dry. The camera tech is basic, but fine for simple everyday shots.
Nubia has added the usual excellent range of gamer features, including a pair of pressure-sensitive triggers. Now with strong haptic feedback. Plus, the upgraded ICE cooling system does a marvellous job, with a surprisingly silent fan.
The Red Magic 9 Pro finishes with a stereo speaker setup and full-view AMOLED screen with HDR10 support. So, what do you think of this Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 gaming smartphone? Let us know below!

im genuinely buying this for sure in love with it never wanted a phone so bad

Any update have u bought it need a review
I dont even play games on the phone, but this phone is just way too neat
ended up doing it?
Did you bother buy the phone bro?
Damnn the 6500 mah battery is just unbelievable I am all in ❤
Blackview have a phone for £159 with 13000mAh Battery. Not sure what is so unbelievable about 6500.
@@-TheRealThing- There si a diffrence between a phone specificly made to have a big battery( like blackview that is a rugged phone) and a gaming phone.

@@-TheRealThing- Yeah, and also a processor with 1/13th the performance of the snapdragon 8 gen3 in antutu
6500 okey 🤌👍 no hdr hdr10 hdr+ dolby vision :(
Such a clean look from the front. The joy of zero notch; makes an iphone look a bit last century.
iPhone looks from last century from ages now. There are the pop-up cameras phones from 2018, till the recent 2021, but they drop that design in the last 2 years for some reason I don't know, because I can't go back to a phone with punch-hole or notch, as it's scratch my eyes.
after 2 yrs fraze lag and no security update, welcome android, make it clear, write this from a iPhone 6S (release 9yrs ago and still work very well and i get security update ios 15.8.2 just few days ago
@@delceaadriancosmin6594Your stereotypes also seem to still be from the iPhone 6 era.
That's crazy I was literally just searching for a Red Magic 9 video lol
Same
You were searching for a redmagic 9 video and you found redmagic 9 video, so shocking!
Well it's not even out yet, so yeah
who asked lil bro
That's crazy af as you get iPhone reviews while searching redmagic. Good observation.
I have absolutely no need to gaming phone but I do have a need for a beefy battery, smooth performance and a great screen and speakers for video. This fits the bill perfectly without looking too much like a gamer phone when I stick a case on it. And a bargain compared to the price of other flagship phones.
Same here 👍
Likewise me. Who cares about the gaming menaces 😁

8:14 I've been following your channel for awhile, this line alone has me in tears, rolling on the floor and hitting subscribe.
Chris sometimes I am suffering and feel in a real low place. your videos always cheer me up, I am glad for your channel. please do a live stream soon and let's all drink and have some fun live with you
¨Are You Up Commander? Well I Certainly Am Now.¨ 🤣 Chris You´re A Funny Guy!
The Bill Burr of KZhead Tech! I love it. I'm officially subscribing. Keep up the good work.
I'm not even into mobile gaming much but I'm getting the phone just for the Samsung ultra rivaling specs and the cool looks. This is one thing I love about android over iOS; the fact that you have options and not locked into 1 general design model.
You won't regret it.
I considered the ultra 24 but seeing this phone makes me want to learn more about it. The battery capacity is enticing.
@@JeffersonRah It's very good. I have a Google pixel 8 pro and have to charge it every night. If come home around 20% after work. With this phone, I literally worked two days in a row and didn't come home around 20% until the the end of the second day
I wish there were more phones with all screen displays. I hate hole punches and bezels. The OnePlus 7 Pro was the most immersive phone I ever had.
But with the worst front camera setup ever. Pop up camera was actual garbage. I think it's just not worth it yet for general phones as there are too many drawbacks. Either the phone will have awful camera quality like the Red Magic phones, or will be giga expensive if it has good under display camera quality, or will have to use the garbage pop camera which there is a reason why no company uses that nonsense anymore. Hole punch is just the best middle ground.
@@Over-mh3wr lol guess you never actually had one. The front cameras on there were flawless, fast, and had excellent picture quality. Just an uninformed hot take.
@@marcochavanne Seems you never had one. I never said anything about picture quality. And you say fast???? You literally have to wait for the camera to pop up every time you want to use it lmao. How in the hell is that fast. Any other camera you just instantly snap away no waiting needed. And how on earth was it flawless? It had a motor that was needed to pop the camera up and down. What happens if that motor gets damaged or malfunctioned or wear and time over time which is inevitable? You had to send in the entire phone just for them to fix the pop up camera alone. And if the pop up camera was so good as you're making it seem, then why does no other company do it anymore? Oneplus hasn't done it since. Why is that? Because it's garbage, not worth it and has way too many drawbacks. Read a dictionary and learn what fast and flawless mean. Just an uneducated take.
@@Over-mh3wr take the L dude. There was never a massive amount of failures or complaints with them. Enjoy the copium ✌🏼
@@Over-mh3wr loved the pop up cam on my OnePlus 7pro giving full screen no notch or holes. pop up cam still working after 4 and half years. But now the usb c port. Is bust. Only charges with original cable. No 3.5 headphone jack adapter works any more so no wired headphones work and no OTG to attach usb sticks If it weren't for this I would keep the OnePlus for another 2 years. I will never ever buy a phone without a headphone jack anymore. Redmagic 9pro immersive Full screen. Headphone Jack. Loud speakers. Forget about gaming. Forget about taking good pictures. Redmagic 9pro. My next phone
I love the the boxy and flat design
kudos to red magic for not changing the design hoping for improvements on the front cam will still keep my RM8 pro for that will look forward to the 9s or 10 next year
Don't know why, but.......love hearing a Brit talk Tech. Good luck to your channel.
The UI looks really good. Well done Nubia
I really love his videos! He covers everything very detailed. I'm still waiting wondering if they're going to make a even beefier version of the 9 before I place my purchase. Also for your next video don't know when their next release is if you shake the phone Mora if you have her on your home screen will panic as if it's a earthquake You got to shake it hard though 😂
Thanks for the half-assed speaker audio test. You only missed one of its bigger features.
Just ordered one today. Cant wait to get my hands on it. As a regular CODM and Genshin player, this phone seems PERFECT ❤
Looks amazing. If I had that kind of cash lying around not being need to be spent elsewhere definitely a great piece. Glad to see companies still making gaming and pocket TV a focus over phone style features.
Did you get it & if so what do you think of it?....I recently sold my Redmagic 8s Pro platinum edition & I'm now debating on either the Redmagic 9 Pro or the Asus Rog phone.....
From where did you ordered
Had mine almost a week now & it's a beast.
@@TheBigwesb where do you shop?
Got the 16GB Cyclone ordered. Should be in, in a couple of days. I'm excited. Saved up for a minute to get it
Great review uncle spurt thanks for all fantastic show s all year and happy Christmas 🎁,👍
Quality review as always, uncle Spurt!
Najgorsza recenzja: nie, dziękuję, nie jesteś Jaidenem ani dziwnym człowiekiem
love your content.. where can I find those crazy sick wallpapers????
I'm gifting myself this for my bday. Idgaf. This phone is beast!
And here I was contemplating the rm8 or rog7 as my next upgrade
Fantastic review, always enjoy the random bit of comedy lmao. That phone is an absolute beast! I actually appreciate the full rectangular screen for a dedicated gaming phone.
Great work man thanks for the review
Really looking forward to the day when we see a flagship with underdisplay selfie.
I got a ad from it I loved it cause it gave me cyberpunk vibes and then I ended up here wanting to buy it. Crazy
I went from the 22ultra to the 8pro and after a year it's been an awesome phone. I think its still the coolest looking phone still, I prefer the design to the 8 than this new one but it's very close. It is a bit buggy sometimes tho, the fingerprint reader will randomly stop working then it's fine again. The screen flashes when closing apps sometimes. The alarm for some reason never worked lol it does everything it should exept won't ring or vibrate when the time comes no matter what you try. The charge separation still has never worked on mine, but when it comes to gaming it handles anything perfectly. The battery life is amazing, charges super fast. I don't regret buying it and would still recommend it to anyone who games on their phone. 4/14/24 update: Ever since redmagic finally released the major software update about 2 weeks ago, Every single issue has been solved! It's sooo much better now. Lots of new features, no more glitches, alarm works now, it's perfect now. If you were thinking of getting it now is a good time.
How much do you think it cost now?
@@Luckycoded I think it's about $750 now. The 9pro is about $900
@@pedro200232201 seriously expensive
I owned RM 6 for 2 yrs plus still working good can't wait to get the 9 pro sick phone I love sick
hows the fan? still good?
Oooooh yes! I was hoping for a review on this I'm thinking of getting this or thr new honor 6 pro
Are you gonna review the z60 ultra? Really love your reviews. Keep it up!
Ive owned 3 and ive been blown away every time they are amazing and the prices have always been the best
Question, how is the actual phone itself with cellular networks, saw that it ain't as great under T-mobile 😐
@@frijolitodrI have T-Mobile with the red magic 9 pro and I have no issues with the network
@@frijolitodrI have a redmagic 7s pro and changed to T-Mobile around 3 months ago and never had any issues from the phones side since then. Southwest Germany.
@@lololololol3295 awesome great to hear that, wife being trying for me not to get the phone cause I may have a ton of drop calls and unsent messages and texts lol
@@frijolitodrpersonally I never have problems with TMobile on the 8pro..the 9 should be fine.
How do I get my wife to call me commander ? Greatest line in the whole video lmao 😂
AHH. This phone is selling me. Very impressive. The 3.5mm jack made it a Plus over the Oneplus that I was saving up for. Not to mention the snapdragon3. Just OH my gosh for 650 I am SO tempted. (Cna buy after saveing for the 1500 onplus.) I am being pulled so hard.
Just finished watching your review on the 8 pro, and i see this next
You videos are the best ❤❤❤
Can you use the virtual triggers outside of gaming too? like to quick launch apps or macros?
Are you up commander? Well I certainly am now😂😂😂☠️
😂😂😂
3:45 sorry to break it to you... 😂
I literally bought the Red Magic 8S Pro in September, I'm sure it only came out in July and already the 9 Pro is out! Crazy. Looks like the exact same phone but with a spec upgrade!
Redmagic goes with 2 releases every year, a regular version with the latest chip set then a s version with a over clocked snapdragon + chip, sometimes you get a new design and better cooling sometimes it's just the chip, I'm currently rocking the 8 pro and most likely will go for the 10s pro
And better location for the camera..
@@Killer-wu9hks version has a lower battery capacity
@@joeaugust1926Not true at all..
I noticed the clean unobstructed screen right away, and then went peering for the underscreen camera right away, which you actually can detect in some of your closeup shots, but seriously, I'm glad to see this. It's like after iPhone Xs came out companies carved off a chunk of the screen because consumers enjoyed it, which maybe they did find it fashionable for a period, but now everyone's finally getting back to their senses. The last fashion statement that does nothing for functionality is adding extra cameras that are all shit. That and few future updates are seriously the only weaknesses of this phone. Wish they'd have put just a single, better quality camera on the back of this one.
EU really making these companies put back in actual useful features, now they making phone manufacturers have removable batteries again.
what’s wrong with the no bezels? I really enjoy it
Najgorsza recenzja
@@Davinmk the slim bezels look really good without a hole punch or notch
@NotRott009 Just say that EU is forcing Apple to come its senses. Don't generalize
I'm definitely thinking about buying it now
Thank you for the review
I think i like everything about this phone, am a fan of bigger phone plus a flat screen, software and size is perfect
Definitely going to be picking one of these up. Need a new phone since ive been on the S20 for the longest time.
Try the nubia z60 ultra, it's the redmagic's brother
Just buy ipad if you are gamer if not so this one is good but be careful it is not waterproof because the fan
Im tempted to buy it seens great value. I'm always up.......
Am buying one for my thanks for review🎉 Exited
0:49 The "Hello" caught me offguard a bit 😂
Definitely gonna get this phone when i get the money for it
I've always wanted to buy an Asus Rog phone and Rog 7 was what I called my dream phone. Turned out buying this red magic 9 pro after pulling the money, never been happier in my life. Compare to Rog 7, this red magic has a cooler temp, bigger battery and faster charging, most importantly, more affordable. One downside, the rgb fan on the phone needs a filter or the dust and hair gets hooked to it but overall I couldn't be any happier with the purchase.
A little bit smaller and this phone is the best ever, with that headphone jack as well! But... it's toooo daaaarn big!!!
This dude here managed to work "Beetle's ball sack" & "Ladybug farts" into a damned phone review😂
Tbh real gamers doesn't need cameras on their phone.😂
I would just spend 400$ for a professional camera than spend for the phone camera
True sats why we buy expensive phone for the game..
Yeah we don't take selfie we only care about screenshot and screen recorder for game so we can flexing the gameplay 🤣🤣
or brains
I do love when Uncle Spurt whips it out
I'm in love with the design
Admit it, uncle spurt gets you hot! 😊
Nope he's more my father age@@saturnblue
Jestem na najgorszym etapie przeglądu
damn sohow was it@@EmmieSuksai
Seriously way too hard on yourself man, actually a pretty good lookin fella assuming you were serious lol awesome review dude! Absolutely hilarious! 🤘
Am using this now and my God it's a beast
I just pre ordered mine today
I have the 8s pro and think it's brilliant value...just wish the under screen fingerprint sensor worked a bit more reliably. I would definitely buy another one so may well upgrade to the 10 when that arrives.
Amazing peace of tech 😍😍😍😍
10:34 The one thing and one thing only that bugged me was the headphone jack placement. If its near the triggers i can manage playing ok. If its one the opposite side, ill destroy the headphones or my hands over time... I only use wired headphones. Wish they can have it on the side you just mentioned in the future. Im a loya customer and im playing on getting it in a month or so :')
I miss the brick/candybar design over the ultra curved models out now.
the front faceing camera looks better than more top high end 2005-2010 phones :D
Can You connect it to the monitor or TV like You could with the 8s pro ?
i wish i had the money to get one, nice video!
Never thought i would be a gamer let alone voluntarily searching for gaming phones 😂
I've been watching your videos for years and I just now got the pun "Tech Spurt". Lol
Nubia in my mind the best manufacturer out there, Im still rocking the Z20 and its still as smooth as butter
How does it function as a phone? Voice clarity? Dropped calls? GSM and/or CDMA? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!
All things aside i just think it's an absolutely awesome design.
Im in love with this phone
Can't wait to see what the nubia z60 ultra will do. It is released today, going to be Global this year, and is a real camera phone. It is the lack of good cameras that kept me away from the red magic line of phones. ❤
Same bro. If this had a proper camera it might just be the best phone ever made
Why? Do people really use the cameras that much?
They all r models
@@CharlesVanexXno
Lol, gaming phone not a canon camera phone.. I’m sure they can upgrade and put a better camera but the retail price will be up there with the Galaxy Note series and the iPhones
9:35 I see you game and I'm actually in awe, all the while fully realizing you're definitely not a pro. 😅😂
Hi Chris, the Samsung A23 FE is now available in the UK; a review please!
I'll be honest: the one feature that sold me on this phone is Mora, the anime girl mascot. I'll definitely get a Red Magic as my next phone once the one I currently use dies.
Love this❤️
You missed the most important part potentially the best part of this device the 2000 hz touch response rate display which basically knows you're touching it before you know you're touching it
Can you see a difference in displays , this without Dolby Vision and HDR and those with?
How long are the os updates for?
The mic when recording selfie video was good too. I'm getting it as soon as I can.
Got it?
Where did you get your bloody hoodie????? 👍 I've been looking for one like that.
5:57 this just made you get a new subscriber 😂
What about losing security and support after a year or 2 years? It may have great hardware to last years, but without security updates it seems like it would become obsolete like my TV in security despite the great hardware. Seems also without ingress protection it can fail in a bad situation.
How long before this chipset starts appearing in handheld devices like the Ayn Odin?
is it possible to add another software button to the navigation bar?
I've been waiting for this video!!
Is the video camera better than that of the redmagic 7 pro? Or is it the same camera setup?
I feel that maybe the selfie camera won't have the blur if they programmed it to deactive/turn off those pixels in front of that camera while it's in use. Just a guess though, don't know if that would help or if it's even possible.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT BEAUTIFUL HEADPHONE JACK!!!!!!!!!! MWUUUAH, THE CHEFS KISS RIGHT THATS THE MONEY BABY~~~
will this work on att in the usa? Thanks. Dope phone
That was a quick watch switch you had
Will there be a video for a 9 pro plus?
Looks badass gaming phone 📱
It's my birthday today, and I want this phone but can't afford it right now. Maybe your greeting is better enough to make me smile 😃
aaahhh this phone from my favorite only one brand handphone
I never had gaming phone, I'm still using my mid range android for 5 years but not much since i bought iphone. Planning to get latest iphone or samsung ultra but decided bout time i buy gaming phone since 3rd phone will be used for gaming and media
Also is it adaptive refresh rate? I am seeing some sites say its adaptive but no reviewer is saying it
Love red magic. i use my phones mostly for gaming and this is PERFECT for me. I want to buy it heehehe
