Recently, the Red Magic gaming phone held a "comprehensive evolution, not just e-sports" flagship new product launch conference, and officially released the Red Magic 8 Pro+. Through all-round evolution in product aesthetics, performance experience, ecological gameplay, daily imaging, etc., it aims to bring users an experience beyond the e-sports performance flagship.

After four years of hard work, the Red Magic took advantage of the trend in the first half of 2022 and achieved the top 1 market share of global high-end gaming mobile phones. So, as the leader in the gaming mobile phone subcategory, the Red Magic 8 How should Pro+ respond to consumer expectations?

Perfect full screen + ultimate screen-to-body ratio: creating the ultimate form of e-sports screen

From refresh rate to screen-to-body ratio, Red Magic has long been leading the screen development direction of e-sports mobile phones. Now the launch of Red Magic 8 Pro+ has brought consumers an even more exaggerated next-generation experience.

In terms of screen, the Red Magic 8 Pro+ is equipped with a 6.8-inch AMOLED under-screen flexible straight screen. This is also the industry's first under-screen flexible straight full screen. It has a 2480*1116 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 960Hz screen touch sampling rate. In actual experience, the screen integrity brought by the 6.8-inch AMOLED under-screen flexible straight screen is very outstanding. At the same time, thanks to its 20:9 screen size, 1.48mm extremely narrow frame and 93.7% screen-to-body ratio, it brings a more shocking large-screen immersion. In terms of the front camera, with the support of distributed transparent circuit design and UDC PRO+ screen display chip, the Red Magic 8 The transition effect between Pro+'s under-screen front-facing area and other areas of the screen is particularly natural and delicate. It is the best non-hole full-screen effect I have ever experienced so far, and it is worthy of being a good screen.

In terms of appearance, the Red Magic 8 Pro+ comes with two colors: Dark Knight and Deuterium Front Transparent Edition. The author got the Deuterium Front Transparent Edition. It has a new "awakening" design concept and continues and upgrades the "hardcore mecha" appearance style to make the whole machine full of texture. At the same time, the Red Magic 8 Pro+ bids farewell to the previous rounded appearance design, and the tough body lines give the straight and straight "decent" aesthetics a sense of order and strength, making the design aesthetic of the whole machine more intuitive and pure. The depth of space brought by the Deuterium Front Transparent Edition greatly improves the appearance of the fuselage. The classic RGB cooling fan on the upper left side of the fuselage gives the whole machine a full sense of combat. Undoubtedly, from the perspective of design style alone, the Red Magic 8 Pro+ has a unique design aesthetic idea and label beauty.

It is worth mentioning that in terms of body size, the measurements of the Red Magic 8 Pro+ are 163.98×76.35×8.9mm, and the body weight is 230g. As a performance flagship, with such an exaggerated screen-to-body ratio and performance, the size and weight control of the Red Magic 8 Pro+ are remarkable, and the upright and straight design style makes the Red Magic 8 Pro+ extremely comfortable to hold.

Second-generation Snapdragon 8+ Red Core R2 self-developed gaming chip: Ultimate performance is just the starting point

Undoubtedly, as the flagship of e-sports performance, each generation of Red Magic products has always been the benchmark for mobile phone performance. Now, Red Magic 8 Pro+ obviously no longer meets the performance benchmark and is still leading a new development paradigm for gaming phones.

Let’s look at the parameters first. The Red Magic 8 Pro+ is equipped with the second-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform + the full version of LPDDR5x + UFS4.0. From the configuration alone, the Red Magic 8 Pro+ once again provides consumers with a basic experience. At the same time, the Red Magic 8 Pro It is the first to enter the new era of mobile light tracking. It has jointly launched mobile light tracking technology with Qualcomm and is equipped with the Red Core R2 gaming chip. It accurately schedules control links such as shoulder keys, vibration, touch, and sound effects, and continues to bring consumers an upgraded experience in addition to basic performance.

In addition to performance, actual performance is more important. The author first conducted a game test of "Genshin Impact". As the ceiling of today's mobile game performance, "Genshin Impact" is also the best touchstone to verify the performance of gaming mobile phones. In the actual experience, the author first adjusted the game screen to extremely high quality and the frame rate to 60. During the game, whether it was daily running graphics or the secret abyss, under extremely high image quality, the Red Magic 8 The performance of Pro+ is very stable. In the screen with stacked skills, there is no lag or frame drop. The body temperature control also maintains excellent.

In the actual test of "Genshin Impact", when the game is left idle for more than 30 seconds, it will enter a power saving state. The game will default to 30 frames, and the game frame rate will automatically return to 60 frames after touching the screen. This thoughtful setting will undoubtedly further increase the battery life of the phone.

Subsequently, the author conducted a game test of "Dark Zone Breakout". As the first adapted model to support 120Hz high frame mode, "Dark Zone Breakout" is also a training ground for "squeezing" the performance of the Red Magic 8 Pro+ mobile phone. During the game, whether it is reading images, searching, shooting, etc., the performance of the Red Magic 8 Pro+ is very stable. There is no frame skipping in the screen, and the performance is very solid.

Finally, the author conducted a game test of "Honor of Kings". As one of the mobile games with the most players, "Honor of Kings" is also the main entertainment battlefield for many players. In actual experience, the performance of Red Magic 8 Pro+ can only be described as arbitrary. At the highest image quality, the performance of Red Magic 8 Pro+ is very smooth, and the screen does not suffer from lags and smearing caused by large-scale dragging.

After testing three games, the temperature control of Red Magic 8 Pro+ is still remarkable. It is reported that the Red Magic 8 Pro+ is equipped with the largest full-through air duct in the history of the Red Magic. Among them, the highly recognizable shark fin high-speed centrifugal fan has a maximum speed of 20,000 rpm. When the fan is turned on, it can effectively reduce the body temperature by more than 2.7℃. The symmetrical air inlet/outlet is separated on the left and right sides of the body, further improving the heat dissipation temperature and efficiency. As the interactive focus of the screen, the Red Magic 8 has the most obvious heat perception. Pro+ innovatively adds a whole layer of graphene under the screen. After the graphene is added under the screen, it not only increases the screen's heat equalization ability, but also effectively prevents screen overheating damage caused by long-term gaming.

In terms of battery life, the Red Magic 8 Pro+ has a large 5000mAh battery with 165W magic flash charging, which can be fully resurrected in 14 minutes according to actual measurements.

It is worth mentioning that relying on its strong product performance, the Red Magic 8 Pro launched the X Gravity platform, which supports cross-end game functions such as cloud gaming and console streaming, and integrates various cross-device interconnection functions. The Red Magic Shadow Blade controller is simultaneously launched, allowing a Red Magic 8 Pro+ to have a triple experience of "mobile phone + host + handheld device".

Samsung GN5 super-sensitive main camera takes the lead: no regrets about images

For a long time, when it comes to gaming phones, consumers have often regretted their imaging capabilities, either due to cost control or analysis of consumers’ usage scenarios. Now, the Red Magic 8 Pro+ has filled this shortcoming for consumers.

Let’s look at the parameters first. The Red Magic 8 Pro+ uses a 50-megapixel Samsung GN5 super-sensitive main camera, paired with an 8-megapixel wide-angle and a 2-megapixel macro lens to form a flagship three-camera combination. This combination allows the Red Magic 8 Pro+ to significantly improve its focus speed, low-light shooting, HDR and other aspects.

In actual experience, thanks to the powerful resolving power of the Samsung GN5 super-sensitive main camera, the Red Magic 8 Pro+ has a high tolerance for direct shooting. In a well-lit environment, the subject of the picture performs very well, the picture saturation is high, the overall color is bright, and the vision is extremely comfortable.

In the wide-angle mode, the performance of the Red Magic 8 Pro+ is also remarkable. Under the 8-megapixel wide-angle lens, the visual tension of the Red Magic 8 Pro+ is good. The image quality in the center and corners is also acceptable, and there is no distortion caused by transitional stretching of the picture.

Night shooting mode is a highlight of Red Magic 8 Pro+. In scenes with complex lighting, the performance of Samsung GN5 super-sensitive main camera is quite sensitive. It suppresses light in bright parts and brightens light in dark parts. The overall picture performance is good, and there are no picture effects such as glare and noise. Even in very dim scenes, Red Magic 8 Pro+ can also capture the picture, and the main subject of the picture can be reflected through a longer exposure.

It is worth mentioning that the Red Magic 8 Pro+ is equipped with a 16-megapixel under-screen camera on the front. While supporting facial recognition, the improved transparency is enough to make the Red Magic 8 Pro+ competent for daily selfies.
