Red Magic Mars 2 UNBOXING and REVIEW By Mrwhosetheboss

You might know that I, don't love the concept of a gaming smartphone charging a premium for is often a small upgrade in performance at the expense of things that I'd consider more important. This is different, much closer to how I think it should be done. We're talking about the red, magic, Mars, and probably the most important thing you need to know about it is that it starts at $399 and for some perspective that compares to 899 for the Asus rogue phone. Is it any less powerful, not really, but I'll come to this at nearly 10 millimeters. The Mars is somewhat chunky, but at the same time, structurally sound, and I do appreciate. Having a surface that you don't need to wipe every time you use it if you're into the aesthetic.

You won't find many smartphones as adventurously designed as this one, but at the same time the angular build does mean it's a serious table wobbler. So you can't really use it when it's lying flat. It has a headphone jack fingerprint scanner and the same configurable light strip that we saw on last year's variant. Is it useful? No not really, but is it cool yeah I'll give it that, but there are so many gaming features. You might be quite surprised at what they've managed to your fit in at this price, and it brings up quite an interesting point.

So, let's break it down, you've got capacitive shoulder buttons.7.1 virtual surround sound audio, a dedicated slider to enter gaming mode and a 4d with vibration engine. The phone also implements three forms of cooling: a vapor heat sink, an air chamber inside for passive airflow and the use of a metal alloy that supposedly dissipates 64 percent, more heat than glass and the results do speak for themselves. It keeps temperatures quite consistent and as useful if you're gaming for hours at a time it can prevent your chip having to throttle down its performance because it's overheating, even the gaming software has been streamlined. I wouldn't go as far as to call it beautiful, but a stark improvement over last year. One flick of this switch also takes you to a redesigned gaming hub, which works really well, and it makes all the features you might want really simple to access.

So here's the thing a lot of this gaming stuff- you could take it or leave it is'll make a difference if you're a hardcore pub G gamer, who has three-hour sessions at a time but less so, if you're, more 20 minutes of brawl stars during a commute, kana gamer much of it is not particularly useful or even compatible with many games. There's only two right now that actively support the vibration feature. But what I like about this as opposed to other gaming phones, is that even if you used none of this, it is still good value for money. It runs Android nine out the box has a dual speaker setup with release spacious, sound and a pretty respectable 3,800 William hour battery. Nothing comes for free and in making this so affordable.

I'd say there are three main compromises. The first is that the base model here has the snapdragon 845 with 6 gigs of ram and don't get me wrong. That is a good spec. It's only 2 gigs of ram off smartphones that were twice the price last year, but that's just it. It is last year's tech, I.

Imagine the 845 is pretty cheap now as it's towards the end of its main production cycle, so that might be one of the contributing factors to this phone's. Surprisingly low price, but I, don't think this should be a deal-breaker. Yes, on one hand, it's ironic that a phone made for gaming is using last year's components, but right now, there's no application where you'll feel any kind of bottleneck and remember that, for similar amounts of money, a lot of phones are still using mid-range chips also from last year. The second thing is that it's clear that the camera wasn't a priority here with a single 16 megapixel sensor, you'll, miss out on portrait mode and any kind of optical zoom, but it's not bad in well lit conditions, photos, look, refined, punchy and dynamic, and the saving grace is the phone's rock-bottom price. It's not even close to iPhone or Huawei flagship pricing, so it can get away with not being compared to them.

There are definitely even $400 phones with more flexible camera systems, but the red magic Mars can at least hold its own against most of them. The third gripe here is display. This is a 6-inch LCD panel and probably the most noticeable compromise on the phone. It lacks the deep colors of an OLED display. It doesn't sport, the super high refresh rates of other gaming phones, and it's got a mediocre screen to body ratio of 78.5%. Furthermore, it makes sense there had to be a compromise, but at the same time we've seen too Holocene with nearly 85% display.

If it up to me display, would be pretty much the top priority well above LED strips and capacitive shoulder buttons, but this aspect is pretty subjective. What would you prioritize so, on balance, the red magic Mars is not without flaws, and if you started listing everything, that's missing you'd be going for a while. But if you take a step back you'll see it offers 80% of what the rogue phone did last year in terms of performance. Calling gaming features even the camera at just over 40% of the price, and that's something I would say, though, that if the gaming features don't interest you at all, but you still want the performance, then the poker phone f1 takes the cake in terms of overall bang for your buck. Thanks a lot for watching guys, and I'll catch you in the next one.
