They have some very cool features, like a fan to dissipate internal heat, construction with cooling in mind, RGB backlight and enough power to move any game on the market.

They are full-fledged gaming mobiles, and for this reason they stand out in sections such as screen, battery, power and, in the case of the Pro+ model, for its great fast charge, which is capable to fully charge the mobile in about half an hour.

RedMagic 8 Pro and Pro+ Features

Its design isn’t minimalist, but it isn’t overloaded either.

The main difference between the two RedMagic 8 models is neither their components nor their shape, since they are almost identical in both directions, but they differ in the materials in which their rear part is constructed.

The RedMagic 8 Pro has some finishing touches negro colored mate which offer very good touch feelings, and it also means that when looking at the mobile, it does not stand out as being too flashy, which many times harms the design of gaming mobiles.

The RedMagic 8 Pro+ trades that in for a transparent back, in which you can see several of its panels, the internal fan, as well as several black trims and a small plate that has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.

Both devices have a vertical module consisting of three cameras, in addition to several badges with the name of the brand and the functions of the triggers, which lights up when a notification arrives. You can even set the color or turn them on whenever you enter game mode.

A screen made for fun

As for the screen, both have a panel of the same size, 6.8 inches, to Full HD+ resolution and AMOLED technology, making it ideal for enjoying more vivid colors and intense, pure blacks when playing games and consuming multimedia

The screen of these mobiles has a 120Hz refresh rate which makes them smoother, not only in the interface, but also in games thanks to its good graphics performance.

Its panel is quite bright, with a maximum peak brightness of 1300 cd/m2 which offers a very good experience under the sunsomething that also applies when reading, so there’s no problem viewing the mobile screen when there’s plenty of ambient light.

It’s a screen that generally offers good performance, and the experience with games compatible with 120Hz is excellent, helped by its good performance in terms of power. Stands out for its balance.

All the power Qualcomm can give

The processor in both phones is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which is the model the high-end Android will have in the first half. It’s the best Qualcomm has on the market and works as such.

It has enough power to run any type of game with the maximum available graphics settings, and that means it also reigns very well in any other section, be it downloading apps or switching between one and the other.

The Pro+ model has a higher amount of RAM and storage compared to the RedMagic 8 Pro, but even so the differences between the two aren’t noticeable unless you demand a lot from the phone.

We also tested the graphics performance of both devices using emulators from other consoles and the truth is that we were not able to appreciate a single frame drop.

In addition, the switch that the mobile has to activate the game mode helps a lot to be able to enjoy a distinct and independent experience from the rest of the mobile and this makes the game much more immersive.

Ventilation and other additions to play

Both mobiles have a small Fan 20,000 revolutions per minute, which, in addition, has RGB lighting that allows you to give a touch of color to your mobile while you play, at least in the 8 Pro+, which is the transparent model, since in the matte version you will only hear and you will feel that it works.

Both have this fan, and it must be recognized that, although it is not an essential component to use the mobile, it is appreciated be able to turn it on while you play to prevent overheating, which also occurs when using the mobile’s powerful fast charge.

In addition, the mobile is made from ten layers of heat-dissipating materials, including a liquid cooling panel and graphene under the screen, as well as an internal structure that facilitates air circulation, which you can perfectly check by placing your hand on the slots. fan when the fan is on.

On the other hand, the side switch we talked about earlier launches a specific mode for games that automatically activates certain optimizations so that you can quickly access your favorite games and optimize the system before launching the game.

Its touch triggers are one of its best additions to the game, and they’re extremely responsive, with a 7.4ms response time, so they work great for playing compatible titles like League of Legends, Fortnite, Impact, or Asphalt.

The main camera is compliant, the rest leaves something to be desired

The cameras of the RedMagic 8 Pro and 8 Pro+ have the same setup, with a 108-megapixel sensor on the back, accompanied by an 8-megapixel and a 2-megapixel macro.

Its front camera is hidden under the screen, and it’s barely noticeable unless you turn on the flashlight and look at the screen, which is the only time you’ll feel its girth.

This sensor is 8 megapixels, but the results it offers are clouded by a constant haze caused by its location, which makes the experience with it not good.

Cell Phones Worth It If You Play, And If You Don’t

RedMagic has done a great job with both phones, the differences of which lie in the amount of RAM and storage, as well as in their design and fast loading, since in sections such as the camera or the screen, it it’s almost the same phone.

If you are looking for a mobile to play, they are an excellent option thanks to their touch triggers and their integrated ventilation system, which helps a lot in that the device does not heat up more than necessary. Moreover, they are also activated with fast charging so as not to damage the moving components.

However, if you just want a powerful mobile to play with occasionally, they can also be a great option due to their good performance in terms of screen, battery and power.

The camera is usually one of the most improveable sections of gaming mobiles, and this case is no exception, but It should be noted that its main camera is capable of taking good pictures in a wide variety of situations. The selfie camera, which is hidden under the display, is the worst part of the device, as it still delivers images with some blur.

The RedMagic 8 Pro and RedMagic 8 Pro+ are great options if you’re looking for a round experience in terms of screen and battery, plus they have a fairly understated design that feels great in the hand.
