In good lighting, the wide 64-megapixel camera captures great photos. It's weird and hopefully can be fixed with a software update.

In Photo mode, there isn't a button to switch to the ultrawide camera: You have to go into Pro mode in order to use it.
But accessing the ultrawide camera is tricky. The main camera takes decent photos and can even record HDR10 videos. The RedMagic 6 has a main 64-megapixel camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 2-megapixel bokeh camera for depth. But outside of gaming, there are some downsides.
And if all you did was game, then this $599 phone is worth every penny. My review unit has "Tencent Games" written on the back, but the actual US model won't.
#MAGIC TOUCH SPACECONTROL ANDROID#
The RedMagic 6 has a headphone jack, support for 5G, Wi-Fi 6E and NFC, and it runs on Android 11. That said, the iPhone 12 Pro still scored higher than both. (There is a RedMagic 6 Pro model that comes with 16GB of RAM.) In performance tests, the RedMagic 6 scored at the top of the 2021 class of Android phones along with the Asus ROG Phone 5. The RedMagic 6 has a Snapdragon 888 processor, and my review unit had 12GB of RAM.
#MAGIC TOUCH SPACECONTROL UPDATE#
I am in the process of running more in-depth battery tests and will update this review with the results. Though it comes with a 30-watt charger, the RedMagic 6 supports 66-watt fast charging. Powering the phone is a 5,050-mAh battery that made it through a day with no problem. The internal fan, along with the phone's liquid and graphite cooling systems, made it one of the most comfortable phones to play games on in terms of temperature. The RedMagic 6 with the Dual-core Ice Dock attached.ĭuring long bouts of gaming, the RedMagic 6 never got too hot to hold. The exterior dual-fan unit clips onto the back of the phone, adding more airflow and even more noise. And if one fan isn't enough, you can buy the Dual-core Ice Dock accessory which adds two more. It took a while to get used to a phone sounding like my laptop with multiple tabs open in Chrome. Part of that might also be that the side inputs have a 400Hz refresh rate. Button taps felt reassuring, and I rarely made mistakes. The shape of the phone's corners make them easy to find.
On the side of the phone are two touch-sensitive areas that can be used as shoulder buttons for games. There is even a 4D vibration mode that works kind of like a PlayStation or Xbox controller, albeit not as nuanced. The Game Space control panel also has shortcuts for screen brightness, mapping game controls, creating macros for repetitive input, recording gameplay and more. For example, if a game wasn't actually hitting 165fps, I could lower the frame rate without exiting the game. You can choose titles, control the lighting and internal fan - all while muting notifications and other nongaming distractions.ĭuring gameplay, Game Space controls can be accessed with just a simple finger slide. The switch puts you into the Game Space: Think of it like a library, control room and arena for playing games. When you slide it over, the RedMagic 6 comes alive. On the left side of the phone is a red button that looks like a silent mode switch, but it's not. When I played games like PUBG or Beat Street, on-screen presses and taps felt more accurate. The screen supports 10-bit colors and has a 500Hz single-touch rate and 360Hz multitouch rate, which makes gameplay feel responsive.
