It has to be said that in this increasingly assimilated mobile phone market, the Red Devil is indeed a rather unique and unusual existence.
In the entire gaming mobile phone category, when they are struggling because of the improvement of Qualcomm Snapdragon's energy consumption ratio, Red Devil has always adhered to its own set of product concepts, straight body and active heat dissipation, what you want is a full performance release.
When the flagship mobile phones in the entire industry are becoming more and more hunched because of the continuous accumulation of image modules, the Red Devil actually plays with a flat rear camera design for you, which may even be the only product in the entire mobile phone market in the past four or five years.

The most important thing is that as a collection of netizens' opinions, the Red Devil has really succeeded in attracting a group of fans, and when the sub-brand flagships of several large factories are sold for about 3000 yuan, this product can still be sold for 4399 yuan, and Jingdong's sales are even higher than Meizu 21......
Even Xiao Lei was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
This time, Xiao Lei also got a Red Magic 9 Pro Night Knight Edition a year ago, and even prepared a handle accessory specially adapted to the NS emulator, to talk to you in detail about the in-depth game performance experience of this product.
Appearance: A touch of flat
Although the RedMagic 9 Pro is a performance-oriented phone, we still want to start with the exterior design.
I don't know when it began, the screen cut-out on the front of the phone and the module shaft protrusion on the back have become the standard configuration of almost every product.
Here, let's not talk about the reasons behind this phenomenon, but only about the impact of this phenomenon on us -
First, it affects the screen perception on the front of the mobile phone;Second, it affects the feeling of use in the horizontal grip state, the uneven back of the mobile phone will inevitably block the user's index finger and middle finger when held horizontally, leaving a left hand with nowhere to place.

Even the latest ROG Phone 8 has iterated the originally thin and narrow camera module into a convex stepped triple camera module in order to accommodate the IMX890 sensor, and the protrusion of the rear camera module almost catches up with the thickness level of the middle frame.
The Red Devils don't think that's going to work.
As a result, the RedMagic 9 Pro has come up with a flat design for the first time.

Although there are still subtle protrusions in the fill light area of this machine in the strict sense of the word, other than that, the whole machine is like a rimmed metal plate consisting of flat glass on the front and back, and has an industrial beauty that is completely different from other contemporaries.
In my opinion as a former MIX user, this is definitely the biggest highlight of the year for the Red Devils.
On the front, the Red Devil's traditional under-screen camera design.

This new "true full screen", although it does not reach 1.5K resolution, but up to 93.7 screen-to-body ratio, with an almost perfect "missing" display effect.
Eh, all these punch screens on the market are going to be knocked down.
On the back, this time the Red Devils have made a new trick and stuffed the entire three-camera module under a flat glass backplate.

Although compared with ordinary mobile phones, the size of the image module of the RedMagic 9 Pro has been greatly reduced, but the combination of 50MP GN5 (OIS) + 50MP JN1 + 2MP macro is even a little stronger than the previous generation, and it is estimated that there is no problem to meet the needs of gamers to scan the code and take pictures.
Further down, there is the active cooling fan.

This time, the Red Devil specially added a full set of customizable RGB to this fan, and the related lighting effects can be adjusted in many places in the mobile phone system, focusing on a riot.
As for how the cooling system works, I'll draw a diagram for you to probably know.

I have to say that this whole set of design is really in line with my imagination of a gaming phone.
Performance: The power of a thousand pounds
After looking at the most sassy part of the whole machine, it's time to talk about performance.
Here we are simple, in the case of basic mode + balanced heat dissipation.
随手一跑,安兔兔212W分。

Although it is not as high as the advertised 220W, it also stands out in the Snapdragon 8 Gen3.
In 3DMark, which tests the graphics ability of GPUs, the Red Magic 9 Pro in Xiao Lei's hand ran a score of 8578 points in the Solar Bay test. In Wildlife Extreme, he scored 5082 points.

Theoretically, there is also a desktop 1050Ti level.

So what's next?
Next, it's time for "Genshin Impact, Activation".
With the awakening mode turned on + balanced heat dissipation, Genshin Impact Sumeru ran the map for 30 minutes, and the average frame rate actually reached 60.3 frames.

After half an hour of playing, there is not even obvious signs of heating in the whole machine, and it can only be said that the 720P Genshin Impact is really a trick for the Red Devils.
However, the Red Devils have also taken this into account, providing users with an over-the-top image quality function that super-resolves the screen to the screen resolution.
Not only that, but they also hide a Destruction Mode at the very bottom of the sidebar, which works so that no matter how hot the phone is, all the cores will remain running at full frequency, which is the theoretically strongest performance mode.

In the transcendent image quality + God of Destruction mode, the Red Magic 9 Pro can perfectly run the native resolution of "Genshin Impact", 30 minutes, the average frame rate can reach 60.31 frames, but even with active heat dissipation, this temperature has reached a significantly hot level.

It can only be said that the heat dissipation is hot, it has worked hard.
Again, it's Honkai: Star Railway.
The scene is still the familiar hub of the Star Cha Sea, and after half an hour of gameplay, "Honkai: Star Dome Railway" ran a score of 60.25 frames.
(Source: Lei Technology)
Compared with the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 flagship, which averages about 50 frames, and a batch of Snapdragon 8 Gen3 phones that are stuck at 55 frames and cannot be used, the Red Magic 9 Pro can be regarded as an important beginning to conquer Xingtie.
As for the competitive online game like "League of Legends Mobile Game", which doesn't actually eat much of GPU capabilities, the Red Magic 9 Pro is even more stress-free at 120 frames per second.

With the blessing of active heat dissipation, the RedMagic 9 Pro can cope with the popular triple-A mobile games on the market only with the awakening mode.
Before the advent of mobile games with higher resolutions or frame rates, this product was definitely a standard answer for mobile gamers.
Of course, since we have to do in-depth testing, the selection of materials will naturally not be limited to triple-A mobile games.
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the performance of Android and Apple devices, more and more traditional game manufacturers have begun to try to move some classic/indie PC games to mobile devices, and the performance required for these games is not lower than that of domestic mobile games.
Medieval 2: Total War is a classic PC war simulation game developed by The Creative Assembly and ported by feral interactive.

In the default state,RedMagic 9 ProIt can run stably at about 33 frames,This is also a relatively common frame rate in PC ported games,Smooth play is naturally no problem,But the heat of continuous play is not small。

The spoof of "Goat Simulator 3", everyone should be familiar with it.
The default image quality of this game on Android mobile phones,Basically equal to the PC side FHD low image quality +30 frame level,In actual games,In addition to stepping on the telephone pole and sliding at high speed, there will be a slight drop in frames,Other times it can indeed ensure that the default image quality runs at full frame。

Don't worry, it's not over yet.
As hardcore gamers, how can we stop at mobile games?
Would you like to give it a try...... PSV or NS games?
(Source: Lei Technology)
Unfortunately, since PSV emulator developers use MediaTek devices as a benchmark for development, Qualcomm doesn't perform well on PSV emulators, with games like Killzone: Mercenaries and Ghost Hunting experiencing noticeable texture errors or even crashes.
Fortunately, among emulator developers, the number of people using Qualcomm devices is clearly higher than the number of people using MediaTek devices.
For example, the PS2 emulator AetherSX2 can run most games smoothly at 2x the resolution, including the recent high-definition remake of "Persona 3", "God of War 2" and other classics.
(Source: Lei Technology)
As for NS, after the developer provided driver support for the Snapdragon 8 Gen3, the RedMagic 9 Pro can now perfectly emulate open-world games such as Pokémon: Red and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and there are not even common problems such as texture errors during gameplay.

A game machine that is more suitable for the physique of Chinese babies, it's you.
Bottom line: It's not just esports
After such an experience, I personally think that before choosing this product, you had better ask yourself a question -
Me, do you play the game?
(Source: Lei Technology)
If the answer is "yes", then the RedMagic 9 Pro is definitely a high-value, high-performance portable gaming terminal, with a flat body design, giving it a superior horizontal grip experience, and the blessing of active heat dissipation, it allows users to experience the smoothness of the game that is difficult to achieve on other models, and even get unexpected game auxiliary function bonuses.
If the answer is"No",Then the Red Magic 9 Pro can still appear in your shopping list as a unique design of the former flagship,The advantages of this product in design have attracted a lot of Xiaomi Mi Mix series fans into the pit,And the must-have3.5mmInterface、Dual speakers、Fingerprint under the screen、Full-function NFC and infrared remote control It is also a non-falling,There is basically no serious lack in the daily experience——
Except for wireless charging.
Of course,Red Magic 9 ProThere are also some problems at present,For example, its own UI functions are a little too simple,There is no compatibility with 32-bit applications,There are also some problems with the information push function,The most important thing is that the official locks the system unlock channel,This makes the method of smuggling MIUI in previous years a swan song。
But either way, the RedMagic 9 Pro will be a phone with a lot of personality.
If you have the chance, give it a try.
