@@jesusbarrera6916 geekerwan's Chinese channel made a video with benchmarks of all kinds at every wattage, basically a performance/watt graph. Basically the a17 beats the sd8gen2 narrowly in multicore and by a decent margin in single core. But the 8gen2 is quite significantly better in GPU score. The 8gen2 is also a bit more efficient over all power draws. Both cpu and GPU. But like you said, optimization does play a bigger role. The new mediatek dimensity chip beats the 8gen3 in CPU, and GPU and efficiency over the entire power draw graph. But the it would still be worse in an emulator like yuzu because the YUZU Devs didn't optimize for Mali GPUs. So personally I think you are half right, iPhones applications are generally more optimized, like in the case of genshin impact, but that's mostly on the application developers and not apple itself.

They should have made this cheaper and used a cheaper CPU because nothing takes advantage of it and the Odin is just as strong!” Also Taki: “Here’s a device that’s twice as expense with the same OS, but look how strong and amazing it is! This is amazing! I love it because I don’t know what it means to be a hypocrite. Watch me play Switch games on it that I said in my other video I didn’t want to do on the Odin 2.

I can speak to this because I update all of the RM phones that I have whenever they have a new phone release (starting from the RM 6). Each phone got or is waiting to get a single main OS version update. For example, if a phone launches with Android 11, they will eventually update it to Android 12, but they will rarely update it to Android 13. You can get around this by installing an AOSP ROM, but the tradeoff isn't worth it. As for security updates, they release updates for the entire product line that I own 1-2 times yearly. You can go to their updates page for any of their previous phones and see the latest software update that they released to judge their track record. RM5G is the oldest phone with a recentish update.

The only down side is you have to use a controller accessory, but the G8 is fantastic and better than a bunch of handhelds in terms of quality of controls.

I literally did a review on my channel. It's a great controller

Which gpu driver did you used for Nintendo switch.......

Why do we not have wiiu on android? Is it just the same as PS2? Where it's be easy there's just no active development or is there something about it's architecture that makes it impossible or too hard?

No active development :\

man i would never can buy good phone the economy in Argentina is mess, i have a g9 plus and maybe never have the chance to change it... great videos i would try to dream about having this and less back pain, something that is great too being a a amoled screen and having 2000+ on pwm amoled screen from sansumg phones kills me eyes.

Nah not good enough, nokia 105 (4th) best device ever check this Design - Modern combines with durability to create a hard-working phone made of durable polycarbonate that fits perfectly in your hand AMAZING BATTERY POWER - Removable 800mAh battery lasts for weeks. Network and connectivity: GSM 900/1800 (EU) Great Storage Capacity - Save up to 500 SMS messages and 2000 contacts Radio - Plug it into the 3.5mm headphone jack and listen to sounds, news and sports on the go with the built-in radio Games - Comes with pre-loaded games like Snake, Triss, Just for 16 dollars that's is insane right?

What are your thoughts on using this as a primary mobile phone (in addition to gaming) for someone who doesnt use a mobile phone much beyond text/call/streaming?

This and the RM8 make for a good primary phone. My daily driver is actually an older Snapdragon phone from the parent company of Nubia. They have good prices on their phones, but you should expect to only ever get one Android version update during the life of the product. In this case, this phone will ever only see Android 15 at a maximum, with security patches throughout the year.

@@TakiUdon Awesome, good to know. I'll check out Nubia as well. Thanks!

Bro that igpu on that phone beats ryzen 5 5600g and budget g processor cause it can't run pcsx2 anything more than 2×

It's very strange cap 40fps in the pubg. any chances to unlock it?

I used a Samsung s20fe (€150) and with its snapdragon 865 and OLED 120hz screen and stereo audio I can run everything up to the PS2 at 4x resolution... and I use it with a €40 gamesir X2. ...other than Odin and crazy price!

you can play psp PS2 and some Nintendo games on this + its a phone for all other things, it's win win

It's besides the point of the video... But... The gamesir G8 is good..? Look so fragile... And it doesn't comes with a case like the others... Right..?

Everything on the Redmagic looks great except the thing that made me not want to buy it and that is the camera behind the screen. That is lame! Just make small bezels for the camera. That is one thing at least ROG Phones and Sony Xperia are doing right.

Mate how on earth did you run minecraft java on this thing? Is that a thing now?

What’s the game OMW? Couldn’t find it on App Store. Can you please share the link to the game. Thank you for making such amazing videos.

omw.xyz.is/ Grab the APK from the Github link. You'll need Morrowind installation files to play, but everything works well on a wide selection of hardware.

What software are you using for the emulation ??

Wow. I would play Persona 5 again if it was that smooth on my phone.

I forgot Red Magic even existed. ✨️ Thank you Taki, this was a cool video showcasing an update to what is out there now. Imnstill gaming on my zfold 2 im gonna see how it stacks up

Heaven forbid they make SD 3 mini pc.

@TakiUndon what are your thoughts on the rp4

Finally! But... I wonder how this will do as a daily phone

It IS a phone, after all lol. No one really talks bout the phone features anymore, it's about the camera, the screen, the performance, but little about calling quality, which is the phones primary use lol. Or just stop calling them phones lol.

Make a video on that black controller!

Do we know if the software improvements are going to be coming to the RM8Pro?

@TakiUdon

RM8s Pro has most of what this does. The original RM8 Pro (with the normal 8 Gen 2) is due for a bigger update to Android 14 / Red Magic OS 9. Based on their track record with the other phones that I own, this won't come for another 3-6 months.

My snapdragon 888 in the OnePlus 9 still plays everything i need it to. Red Magic does look like a possible upgrade in the future though. Its priced great for what you get. OFC the new OnePlus is looking great also. What is that Maya thing? an AI assistant?

What is that controller with Playstation buttons? There's no link in the description.

I thought it was already out, but it doesn't release for a few more days. It's the MC+ from Leadjoy.

How can you play/emulate HL2 or Morrowind on the phone?

@TakiUdon

8 ай бұрын

There is a source port launcher for HL1 and HL2 that runs the Windows game files. Morrowind has an open source project called OpenMW that also runs official game data. I used the Android version of it.

Can you use a micro sd for more storage?

You should emulate pc games with Zeta Touch and play games like Ion Fury , Duke Nukem , Quake and so on .

what is that white controller with ps buttons ?

Indeed very good but again, a product without a price to evaluate value. It gives the impression that reviewers are doing free marketing for the company, especially as I saw 3 reviews from popular channels on the same day.

The embargo date was today, so that's why you'll see multiple videos. I usually include prices in or near the specification section of stuff that I review, but I wasn't given any pricing data for this phone while I was working on this video. :\

What is the HDMI panel you're using? Thanks in advance!

Emulation on android just isn't good enough or developed yet for the modern systems that the most powerful phones could tackle.

Love its design

how about the odin2?

​@@TakiUdonlower clocked sd8 gen 2 that was like in only two flagship phones. Which quickly deprecated in price. Other reviewers making the mistake of not realising that the other phones getting the higher clocked sd8gen2 that was in the Samsung galaxy devices (called sd8 gen 2 for Galaxy) were in fact the higher priced devices. So yeah lower binned chip that no one wanted, therefore that's why we get Odin 2 with decent performance at such a low price. In addition to China market sold phones with said chip quickly depreciating because that's how it works over there anyway

It is 2024...... we should already be capable of playing ps5 games on our phones .. .....
