Design and build

The phone measures 163.8 x 76.5 x 8.9mm and weighs 230g. It uses an aviation aluminium frame with glass front and back. A transparent back on some versions shows off the internal design and cooling fan. It is rated IPX8 for water resistance. Colours are Black, Transparent Black and Transparent Silver. Pressure-sensitive shoulder zones act like game controller triggers.

Display

The 6.85-inch AMOLED screen has a resolution of 1216 x 2688 pixels and refreshes at up to 144Hz. Peak brightness is 2000 nits. The selfie camera sits under the display, so there is no punch hole to interrupt games and videos.

Performance and software

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is one of the fastest mobile chips available, with CPU cores reaching 4.6GHz and an Adreno 840 GPU. RAM options go up to 24GB, and storage up to 1TB. The built-in cooling fan keeps performance high during long gaming sessions, when other phones would slow down from heat. The phone runs Redmagic OS 11 based on Android 16.

Cameras

Cameras are not the main focus, but they are solid. The 50MP main camera has an f/1.9 aperture and optical stabilisation. A 50MP ultrawide covers wide scenes. Video reaches 8K at 30fps. The 16MP under-display selfie camera records 1080p video.

Battery and charging

A 7500mAh battery supports long gaming sessions. Charging is very fast: 120W wired and 80W wireless.

Connectivity

The phone supports 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC. The USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port supports DisplayPort output, so you can play on a monitor. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack with Hi-Res audio, which gamers appreciate for zero-lag wired audio. An ultrasonic fingerprint sensor handles unlocking.

Tips for new owners

Map the shoulder trigger zones in your favourite games for a real advantage. Keep the fan on automatic mode, or set it to maximum during intense sessions. Use wired earphones through the headphone jack to avoid Bluetooth lag. Charge with the original 120W charger for the fastest top-ups. Clean the fan vents gently and avoid dusty environments.

What to check before you buy

Before buying, decide how much RAM you need. 12GB is plenty for most gamers, while 24GB is for enthusiasts. Check that 5G bands match your network, because some units are China versions. Confirm Google services work on your unit. Test the cooling fan, shoulder triggers and headphone jack. Buy from a trusted seller with warranty.

How it compares

Compared with the vivo iQOO 15, which uses the same chip, the RedMagic adds a cooling fan, shoulder triggers, a headphone jack and an under-display selfie camera. The iQOO has a sharper 2K screen, a 3x telephoto and better water resistance. For pure gaming, the RedMagic is hard to beat.
