I really wish these chips were actually put in handhelds!

I remember when an sd 855 phone still expensive, couple month ago, i got mine under $100, maybe ill get sd 8 gen 2 sometimes in the future, patience is the key 😂

Is no one going to say anything about him using a master ball on pidgey 😵‍💫

Dude in just past 3 years, smartphones gaming is just insanely improved!

This and the GPD Win 4 really have me excited for handhelds this year. Granted they're completely out of my budget, but it's great to see how powerful they're becoming. It's only a matter of time before we see the RDNA3 handhelds show up

So I just found out that this phone I bought also has Ray Tracing, a Waifu pre installed AND can play PS2 games better than my laptop, so next time I'm away from home for a long period of time I have something to do. Awesome!

Awesome video Taki! Appreciate you investigating the diablo setting. I'd like to see more in-depth videos on this and other manufacturer's phones desktop modes. I've read that Samsung's Dex mode takes a performance hit when running emulators, and I'd for example like to know if this is the case with nubia's, Motorola's, etc. desktop implementations as well.

The moment I saw the thumbnail I knew it had to be Redmagic. I have a 6 Pro and it's amazing. I can't go back to non-folding for my daily driver but the quality and features are superb. At this point I'm not interested in getting another android device at this price point, but I highly recommend it to anyone considering it.

Great video was a great presentation of the power the phone can produce can't wait to see what comes of the 3x raytracing

Nobody reviewing this phone is reviewing the diablo setting.... INCREDIBLE so thanks. Great video

I would pay ah extra 50$ for an SD card slot. There is a demand they should bring it back

One word can describe that processor and that is monster. What a freaking monster that thing is, I just imagine that in about 5 years maybe even less we'll be able to play things like cyberpunk and Crysis on a phone.

The Redmagic looks amazing.

You should test more switch games with skyline with this phone. That smash ultimate test was the most surprising, as even that "other" switch emulator doesn't even run that well with that game.

With a Phone like this, I wish a Wii U and PS3 Emulator for Android

Bro, I have the RM6 Pro and it's literally the best phone I've ever had. 165 Hertz display is no joke, I usually keep it on 120 Hz. But the performance is astounding, I paid for the extra 16 GB RAM version, and I'm so glad I did. Most phones require at least 12 GB of RAM to be comfortable, as 8 GB isn't enough. Android system takes a surprisingly 6 GB to run, so anything under that is just dog poo. But 16 GB?? That's more than both my windows and Mac machine. And there's absolutely nothing I can throw that it won't run. It's even a couple generations behind, but rocking a Snapdragon 8 gen 1 was the best idea I could have waited for. Was going to get the 5S, but thank God I waited. Got it when it dropped around my birthday, so it was a nice gift to myself. I can run Wii, GameCube, PlayStation 2, damn near anything. Would be surprised if it couldn't run PS3 or X360, if the emulators ever surface. But the RM8 Pro??? Man I'm so jealous of that UDC technology. It looks so clean. And the new boxy look honestly reminds me of my Sony Xperia XA2 ultra, biggest phone I ever had. Not quite as tall as the RM6 Pro, creating a wider more cinematic experience, but it was definitely the biggest in terms of overall size. This thing might finally top that. I would love if they had some kind of trade-in program, upgrade my RM6 Pro to an RM8 Pro. 2 years later, and it's the best care I've ever taken of a device lol only one time you gouge and tiny scratch this thing has come after all of the falls and damage it is had to it. Still looks damn near new! So a very solid and sturdy phone. I should have broken it at least five times over, but I will tout this phone for the rest of my life. Thank you Taki, for showing off this amazing device. More people need to know about this company and their phones, they are perform anything on the market. 🙏📲🎮🕹️💜💯 Edit: by the way, that Diablo mode is absolutely crazy. I can push 3Ghz on this device under Diablo mode. That is absolutely insane! 🙏🎮🕹️📲💜💯

Man imagine playing ffxii in 2013 using this handheld with bluetooth joystick on the bed damn, i played ffxii on pc and its amazing one of the best jprg games all of times, snapdragon 8 gen 2 definetly my favorite tech from early 2023 that's crazy powerfull the diablo mode are amazing for emulation

Wow this thing is pretty awesome! Though wont be upgrading for a few years since i got the s21Ultra just last year. Maybe by then the red magic 10 will be out xD

No SD card slot makes this a non-starter for me :/ sucks, because it looks like an amazing device.

I need to get this phone. Coffee time and binging this vid. Tks tks!

I'm surprised you didn't try Minecraft. Unlimited frame rates, adjustable graphics settings, controller support, and ray tracing support

If the software and camera were better, this would be a must buy. I'm still almost tempted.

Would be almost perfect if it had front facing speakers whilst still having that screen to body ratio bezeless design and an SD card slot with an IR blaster with unlocked FM radio.

No SD card again.... On a gaming phone that will be used for emulation... I really wish someone would shake up the industry again and put a micro sd card slot on flagships. So tired of companies following Apple's bullshit.

Quality content as always 👌🏼

Used a master ball to catch a Pidgey, classic. Great video and a surprising phone. I do wonder if the fans will turn on in your pocket and vacuum some lent for you though. Did you see any issues with that?

I was waiting for your video as it's the one with the most details :D based on what I saw, I think I'm going to buy this device, I have been really wanting to play Genshin but without worrying about throttling, so this is great

What is even the point of such powerful device without an SD card slot! PS2 and Wii games are huge and Skyline emulator is improving fast, internal storage is not enough.

@Taki Try the PlayDate handheld next... it had a very compact design with a smol crank... yes a crank and the intro for the console is so damn good... there's also a SFK software to create your own games and content for the console... so try and get your hands on if you wanna try one... ❤️

Because it doesn't have expandable storage am I able to have some games on a hard drive and plug it into the dock I would use? Thanks for the videos! This and the GPD Win4 has me so excited for the next few years! I cannot wait to see what we get next! I'm thinking of getting the redmagic 8 pro as it's more portable and can play the games I want :) thanks for the video

I got the RedMagic Pro 7 and I love it, great phone, very powerful. This phone looks even cooler!

There are many, MANY things I don’t understand in this world, but one of the most mind bending is how these tiny little devices can basically outperform my laptop (which is an Alienware m15, I think it was around $2000) and do it costing less! The boards, and chips are significantly smaller, and how do these things stay quiet, and cool enough when I can’t even hear the music in games over the fan noise?!?! We truly are living in a simulation or a dream, because nothing adds up!

The fact that you are that far in scarlet on a phone and I haven't even gotten out of the first town is sad 🤦🏿‍♂️🤣🔥

This look great but no Sd card slot is dissapoiting since some switch games tend to take more than 20gb of space

Wow that’s impressive, tech has come so far in the past 5 yrs.

If they can make handhelds that have these kind of specs would be insane. Yes I know the price would be high. But would be sick

I have the S22U and it's crazy the specs the S23U is shooting out with this new chip

Hi, what's that audio adapter you're using with the Kishi v2? I have a v2 kishi and would definitely love to have a similar set up that would incorporate a 3.5mm headphone port

I haven't been properly excited for an android chipset since the snapdragon s4 pro. These gen 2 chips look amazing and csnt wait to upgrade from my fold 3, which has the 888 and get quite hot, throttles hard snd has pretty poor battery life.

Great work as always :) Can you recommend a guide for Skyline? I have a Galaxy Tab S8 with SD 8G1 (non plus) and I can't get BOTW to start even though I've imported product and title keys and tried some custom GPU drivers. I used an nsp rom without game updates. I've tried combining the base game and update NSPs into one file but that simply crashes the emulator. Not sure what the deal is.

Would it be possible to run another os on this device? Like linux or steam os?

Amazing performance. 3D on phones when?

Nice vid Taki! I was wondering did you use Diablo Mode all through out the emulation testing to achieve 4x res like in Dolphin and Aethersx2?

I've had the fold 4 since launch, and I still think it's the best for retro gaming due to aspect ratio.

The masterball on a pidgey got me 😂

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

I wonder what price the Ayn Odin 2 would be if it were to feature that same processor...

May I ask what is the gear that you make the headphone jack out?(Maybe you already mentioned somewhere else). Also, what is the controller? I can tell it's not the kishi controller you mentioned in the video description. Thanks.

Hey Taki do u know when games like botw will be fixed on red magic 8+? I find it weird that it works on last gen but not this one lol. Any idea why? Anyway love ur vids

If this had better support in the US for carriers I'd buy day 1

Taki I just wanna know where can I find the adapter u used to plug it in the audio jack.

How does this phone compare to say the S22 (or 23) Ultra. Do you really need the fan and the cooling and stuff. What if you just want to run PS1, PS2, and maybe GC games? I’m in the market for a new phone, and would like it to play Game Cube games, that would be cool, but honestly prefer the design of Samsung’s phone.

Someone on the fence here; would you say there have been any significant software bugs or deal breakers, that otherwise prevent you from using it? Really looking forward to replacing my Razer Phone 2 after 5 years. All after replacing the battery, the back glass cracking and fixing along with thermal repasting and a great vinyl skin to cover up all the scuffs on the frame, even dremel-cutting pieces of steel pc case fan covers into perfect replicas of the speaker grills to replace those, done all i could to hold on. The usb c port is giving out with no parts in sight, donor phones being long stripped by owners less fortunate, I can only charge wirelessly now, issues being an aftermarket battery, while attempting to top up during the day. This looks like the spiritual successor to the RP 3 concept. I just hope that the software is as reliable.

I'm interested in this phone but I couldn't find anything about the years of support for Android future version also security updates. Also NFC is supported for do payments?

I'm impressed, especially from the Switch performance, but I have a Samsung GS21+ so I'll wait until the SD8 Gen3 to upgrade and buy the Redmagic 9 Pro.

beautiful video, what is the name of this headphone adapter

Could you do make a video about what phones to recommend for andriod handhelds for emulation up to switch emulation for around 400$?

Btw I would recommend trying out gyro aiming for shooters!

Wouldn't a slight drizzle kill this phone immediately? I wonder how sealed the inside of that air channel is

Hey Taki I seen videos about maybe Retroid coming out with a clam shell handheld this year. Have you heard anything about it or is it just rumors?

Using my Motorola Edge 30 Ultra in Ready For desktop mode, on an external monitor, able to use wireless (or wired, via a little hub) keyboard and mouse, or with a wireless handheld controller. No problem. Probably the gaming performance is not at the same level, but I am already happy with this, so I suggest a little comparison 😉

ALIEN ISOLATION ON MOBILE. Please please do test it. You can actually access its game files. Many pc settings are turned off for performance reasons but you can enable all of them back! Could you test 1440p Ultra pc settings on this new processor? You would make my day :)

21:51 as i tested ealier with this game, i dont have those graphical issue, are you use unsafe profile mode?

what is the name of the 3.5 jack accessory to connect the headphones? I need this

I'm also curios if this would run the new Red dead switch port

13:44 you just have to click the "Gravity X" plugin at the left side of the gamespace. It's basically the same and you don't have to unplug-plug the gamepad

What controller are you using on your phone? Also had no idea Gunfire Reborn was on mobile!

What adaptor is he using for the 3.5mm jack, thank you

Does the shoulder triggers have L1, L2, R1, R2, L3 & R3 or only just L1 & R1 on the touch screen only without Gamepad?

Do we really need these extra powerful phones? -yes

Nintendo Switch games from Nintendo itself & close to them are so beautiful, fun gameplay and awesome sound ! That's why Switch as per end of 2022 already sold 123 million units. Can't wait for a Switch 2 😍

Gravity X plugin on the left side allows u to map any bluetooth / gaming controller instead of having to re-connect it evverytime

Does that trick work on the s7 pro for mappable buttons? I got a Kushi 2 as well. Been using mantis pro but it's a pain to set up, works better with PC. YOu try panda pro adapter method with panda pro app. IDK if it's worth wile. I got that since the good review. I think the fan on mine is a bit laud. Does drown out wile gaming, or in a big room with people. I mean when it's quite in a room byself it's noticeable. Plays the games nicely. Still not max fps on the highest settings for cod mobile. close enough really. I was expecting more from dolphin. I did manage to get most games running with most of the hacks on and other settings on. Runs alright no hickup like that fzero game on that lava level. Maybe a lower setting would help in a next update of dolphin. I remember in 2013 for computer dolphin lagged alot then i managed to get a video card and it worked. It's alright. Not upgrading the phone for a couple of years. IDK why it doesn't have ringtones just for sms text messaging, my older phones had it. Notification sounds does it but also does the rest so i don't know which one it is.

This thing is more powerful than my work PC lol

I buy a Xiaomi 11 t pro 6 month ago, It perform very well even on graphics X2 on God of war, but snapdragon 888 overheat on not optimized games

I'm thinking of upgrading to red magic 8 pro in the future even tho I play on PC with emulators most of the time but It's a good to have a back up on the go just in case

im sorry if this is a dumb question, but since you said some games run better on the previous cpu generation, could the emulators get updates to improve their performance ?

Can you add *COD Black OPS* for Dolphin testing and *Black* for AetherSX these two games pushes the emulator to their brink.

Now im even more hyped for the Razer Edge

*faints* imagine having a setup with this with one of your more recent videos running steam games on arm /o/

There's no headphone jack on the Kishi is there? Can anyone tell me what is being used as an inbetween at 21:00 please?

I would love to see this processor used in something like the Nintendo switch, just imagine the kind of games that would be possible if they were designed exclusively for this device

You laugh at the waifu, TAKI; Understand that it is a necessity for a lot of us

No SD? What... If anything I should expect there to be 5 sd card slots and also an SSD slot

Damn I love this phone, but I wish they had a 1TB option and/or micro SD

Thank you for putting my favorite game of all time there, Suikoden II.

No microSD card is a deal breaker for me. I wanted to use it for emulation but those PS2 and GameCube games take a lot of space. So strange that such a nice gaming phone with all those features doesn't have micro SD...oh well I guess I will wait for Retroid 4+ or get Razer Edge.

I can't get the right joystick to work right, it jerks a little bit that's all. I tried to download the gamesir app, but it says to enable developer options, even though it is already unlocked. Do you know a way to fix this?

13:15 my ROG 6 when connected to xbox controller, you can literally map every android game to the controller via armoury crate without needing of an app like Mantis Pro or third party software. but the key mapping only works for xbox controller, didnt worked for my GameSir X2 pro.

can you use a bluetooth controller with the remapping software? like an xbox one controller

did u have random crashing issues on SSBU?

Is it reliable as an actual phone though, I've heard of plenty of bugs and poor user experience with red magic phones

Waaait did it run a switch game at 240 fps? Not even the 6800u manages that I think?

Like this device until the no sd card slot still want it but having a sd card slot would help with no feeling up the memory of the phone with the games and then having to delete because the storage fills up

Oh, hey, what's that thing between the phone and the Kishi in the later part? Is that some kind of headphone jack... thing? Because if so, please tell me what these things are called; not being able to plug my headphones into the phone is my biggest gripe with the Kishi.

What kind of audio jack is that? Some kind of right angle?

I hope bright memory, call of duty war zone mobile, rainbow 6 mobile, the division mobile and the other games that support ray tracing get ray tracing support and android. I really hope the pimax portal becomes successful and makes it available as a purchase with the 4k 144 hz mini led display, 5g support

So what should we get now days, this thing is so portable, but the battery wouldn’t be running so long like those other handhelds at bigger games, you got red magic , ayn neo pro, steam deck and more. Thoughts ?
