      nah, ppi is high enough

    • NUZATH Afroz

      am not sure what by

    Apex ????❤️

    June 17, 2022 at 12:08 pm

    Very nice ????

    June 17, 2022 at 12:23 pm

    165hz on a phone is completely unnecessary though 😀

    • Mr Egusi

      June 17, 2022 at 12:27 pm

      Until Apple makes one…

    • porterj

      June 17, 2022 at 12:31 pm

      Agreed – the trade off on battery life is not worth it IMO. I consider 90htz to be the sweet spot for refresh rate on a mobile device.

    • Kasallamacher

      June 17, 2022 at 12:37 pm

      @Mr Egusi nah. the manufacturer doesn’t matter

    • David Agiel81

      June 18, 2022 at 3:44 pm

      That’s why the 7 pro is only 120, but with a higher touch sampling rate

    • Miki Mau

      June 18, 2022 at 4:06 pm

      @porterj you can lower it.. better to have it than not. And the battery is still better than a galaxy with less Hz i guarantee you that

  5. Sterling Sigurd

    June 17, 2022 at 12:30 pm

    I like the active cooling. That’s a brilliant idea.

    • David Agiel81

      June 18, 2022 at 3:43 pm

      It’s been around since Red Magic 3…

  6. Lance Cooper

    June 17, 2022 at 12:30 pm

    I still don’t think the games are quite there for a gaming phone, most racing games you are just pressing a boost button or have very minor inputs, these are phones for pubg fortnite and apex mobile really

    • Lance Cooper

      @Galaxy rock Studio I use my Xbox one controller with a mount on my phone, works like a charm

    • Galaxy rock Studio

      June 17, 2022 at 1:12 pm

      @jim dunk I’d definitely get one

      It’s really good for shooting games or driving games and just makes everything super fun and easy

      I’d also recommend a goodneck for holding your phone while you play your games, just be careful if you’re on Android, my Xbox controller can’t connect to my A52 for some reason ????

    • Galaxy rock Studio

      June 17, 2022 at 1:14 pm

      @Lance Cooper for some reason it can’t connect to my A52 ???? idk that’s android but whatever I’m getting iPhone soon then I can use my Xbox controller

    • dmp762

      June 17, 2022 at 2:21 pm

      Don’t forget COD mobile.

    • RALLY_FURY moments

      June 17, 2022 at 5:22 pm

      Play *rally Fury*. It has a lot of input

    • David Agiel81

      June 18, 2022 at 3:40 pm

      Don’t forget Aethersx2

  7. Michael Tanner Moss

    June 17, 2022 at 1:02 pm

    2:00 If you remove animations in Accessibilty settings, then you’ll really truly experience how insanely snappy 165Hz can be. Animations just slow everything down, so I remove animations all together on 120Hz+ screens

  9. Mr. Water Melon

    June 17, 2022 at 2:06 pm

    The design remind me of LG G6

  10. Adventurous Loner

    June 17, 2022 at 2:54 pm

    Hmm, I’ll still go with the modded Steam Deck with multiple OS

  11. RickOShay

    June 17, 2022 at 3:06 pm

    Anyone serious about gaming wouldn’t waste more than $500 on a phone. Rather put that extra towards a decent gaming rig – only then can you call yourself a gamer.

    • Ariel Kisilevzky

      June 17, 2022 at 5:49 pm

      Isnt a gaming rig like 2k?

    • RickOShay

      June 17, 2022 at 8:00 pm

      @Ariel Kisilevzky No they start around $500.

    • Kenzou Kazuto

      June 18, 2022 at 5:17 am

      A real gamer would have both. Its not a waste when u can afford both gaming rig and gaming phones anytimes.

    • E. v. K.

      June 18, 2022 at 6:18 am

      AR Glasses are for real Gamers

    • RickOShay

      June 18, 2022 at 8:14 am

      @E. v. K. yes hooked up to a decent gaming machine.

    • RickOShay

      June 18, 2022 at 8:16 am

      @Kenzou Kazuto True – it’s just the average <25 person can't afford to waste money on a high end gaming cell phone and gaming machine let alone a good VR headset.

  12. Justin Stewart

    June 17, 2022 at 3:08 pm

    Does this thing actually have a fan?!

    • Hyd

      June 18, 2022 at 6:07 am

      You watch the video? He says it has one in the review.

    • Justin Stewart

      June 18, 2022 at 11:38 am

      @Hyd yup

    • David Agiel81

      June 18, 2022 at 3:45 pm

      Red magic has always had an internal fan… this is like 7th generation already.

  13. The HOBBIES 2.0

    June 17, 2022 at 3:15 pm

    This Gaming Phone is so cool ???? ????

  14. chico River

    June 17, 2022 at 7:33 pm

    How long the battery last?

    • Miki Mau

      June 18, 2022 at 4:05 pm

      I get about 10hours. But that’s just me I’m a performance nerd

    • chico River

      June 18, 2022 at 4:22 pm

      @Miki Mau Thanks.

    Not To Be Greedy But I

    ???? Ok ???????? with me!????????????

    June 18, 2022 at 12:36 am

    Wow.. 12GB RAM.. So has my almost 3year old Note 10+..????‍♂️ No big deal. 165Hz etc is just unnescecary on a phone. Rather have more battery life and variable refreshrate with a lower max Hz.

  18. E. v. K.

    June 18, 2022 at 6:16 am

    The Problem is most Smartphone Games are pay to win

    • David Agiel81

      June 18, 2022 at 3:45 pm

      That’s why you play ps2 games instead on Aethersx2

  19. David Agiel81

    June 18, 2022 at 3:39 pm

    RM7 review from one day ago? Like RM7 Pro has already been out for a long time, and ROG 6 with SD8+gen1 is coming next month.

  20. Øystein

    June 18, 2022 at 4:08 pm

    Wow.. 12GB RAM.. So has my almost 3year old Note 10+..????‍♂️ No big deal. 165Hz etc is just unnescecary on a phone anyway. Rather have more battery life and variable refreshrate with a lower max Hz.

    Just curious, what’s a millimamperhour ?

    I love my Red Magic 7. I am a retro gamer myself. I use it to play GameCube, PS2, PSP, N64, Dreamcast, NDS, MAME, and more. A great phone not only for Android, but retro gaming as well. Thanks for the review.
