    The only thing that concerns me is that it's only getting 75% stability in the extended 3D test with a fan. I know it might sound picky af but I was hoping we'd be back up to the 90s like the 855 and to some extent the 865 Anywho, great review dude!

    yeah, unfortunately these new SoC's produce a lot of heat, so when the thermal throttling kicks in, just like on PC's, the temps go up and down 2 to 3 degrees, which causes the CPU core performance to spike and drop as it reaches it's thermal limit and then drops thanks to the fan. That being said, there isn't any real world use case that will actually cause this behavior to happen. I use synthetic tests, which pushes the system to beyond anything anyone would do. But I hear ya, would be nice just to see a 90% - 100% stability score

    Seems like a great phone. I had a look at the s23 ultra and when comparing it im deffo going for red magic 8 pro as its way cheaper then a s23 ultra 512gb 12gbram compared to a red magic 8 pro transparent void 512gb 16gb ram. Will have better performance compared to s23 ultra due to also having better cooling as well. Only maybe downside on the red magic 8 pro is camera but its good enough for me. Upgrading from a s21 ultra. Have been using samsung for 10 years and it seems its time to start fresh with rm 8 pro. Thanks for the review.

    I am debating whether to get this phone or the Samsung S23 Ultra. I really like the display and do not care much about camera function. I care most about the display (no visible notch), long battery life, and headphone jack. Now, I do not play game on the phone so is there a way to turn off all the RGB lights and also turn off the fan so that the phone is quiet and also has more battery life? I mainly use the phone to browse the internet and watching youtube videos. I like to know how is the battery life with normal internet usage without gaming.

    Pretty cool looking phone but yeah, why even add such a thing as Mora to a phone. Maybe they really want to attract gamer weebs as buyers with an anime girl with jiggly boobs. I doubt that gaming phone market is that saturated you'd even need such a gimmick. That 3 month old security patch is bit of a concern, I looked on the page and it says the phone is launched but not released yet, how does that even work. But maybe they'll actually get it some software when it actually releases, but who knows.. Anyways, there was a whole segment about audio on their page, so how was it compared to other phones? Or was it just the same old tinny speakers like any other phone? I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case after looking all that marketing jargon the page is filled with.

I used to have the asus rog phone 1 and 2 and they are no longer compatible with cricket wireless anymore due to the 3g shut down from at&t. I still have my vivo nex s and it used to be compatible with cricket wireless but it's no longer compatible with cricket wireless. The asus rog phone 1 and 2 will work with any carrier that uses the tmobile network but not with any network that uses at&t. Basically tmobile let's you use any unlocked phone but at&t is strict when using unlocked phones on there network. Ever since at&t shut down 3g on there network it's harder to figure out what unlocked phones work on there network. When I used to put my cricket wireless sim card in a non compatible phone, it would automatically suspend the line and I would have to take the sim card out of the phone and put the sim card in a compatible phone otherwise the same cycle continues about suspending the line. I wish at&t would allow any unlock phones work on there network but they won't allow that. Instead we are stuck with certain models of unlock phones. I have the sony xperia 1 iv that I pre ordered in 2022 from best buy and I get 5g on cricket wireless. I still have my sony sony xperia 1 iii but it only gets 4g lte on cricket wireless and at&t because the 5g bands for the sony xperia 1 iii I have are for tmobile and verizon 5g networks. I have the samsung z fold 4 unlocked from best buy and I also use it on cricket wireless. There is a flossy carter video that he mentions that he got the zte red magic 8 pro phone to work with at&t since I asked him what carrier did he use the red magic 8 pro and he said he uses at&t. Just look up the zte red magic 8 pro flossy carter video but I don't remember which part of the comment I left on his video.
