Every time the Red Devils launch a new phone, 4what knows that the top spot in the performance rankings of Snapdragon phones is about to change hands again. Even if the real flagship model will only choose the premise of the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, the air-cooled heat dissipation of the RedMagic 9 Pro+ can still make this flagship processor with significantly improved energy efficiency and performance go further
However, before the performance, it must be mentioned that the RedMagic 9 Pro+ has a higher score than its predecessor in terms of design, and the paper reads "".The back cover is flattened"These four big words.
Strictly speaking, there is still a little bit of bulge in the area of the back cover fill light, of course, this requires a specific angle of careful observation, or you need to touch to know. However, it is not a big problem, after all, such a bump will not make the phone seesaw when it is flat, nor will it cause discomfort to the fingers when holding it with both hands, and it can even avoid the embarrassment that the cooling clip cannot cover the main heat source of the phone.
So after rounding up the pros and cons, 4what will ignore this bulge is not too much.
At the same time, 4WHAT also noticed that the RedMagic 9 Pro+'s volume buttons have also changed. The button position returns to the right side of the body that has been the case with the RedMagic 7 series and previous generations of the RedMagic series, instead of being placed on the left side of the body like the RedMagic 8 Pro and RedMagic 8S Pro series.
Changing the position of the keys has two benefits. The first is to make this mobile phone with a right-angle bezel stand horizontally on the desktop, which is about the same as an integrated mobile phone holder in individual scenarios. And for those who are ready to update, the time and difficulty required to familiarize themselves with the RedMagic 9 Pro+ is much less.
And it's worth the surprise that the Red Devils have also added a light bar to the dual-touch shoulder buttons on the right side of the bezel. This light bar can not only change color when gaming, but also be able to flash when receiving notifications, incoming calls, alarms, and charging, which can be said to bring the breathing light back to the smartphone in disguise.
In terms of performance, the RedMagic 9 Pro+ is built on the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform. In previous tests, we were very impressed with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform. Compared to the previous generation, the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform has a 32% improvement in CPU performance and a 34% reduction in power consumption at the same performanceGPU performance is up to 35% faster than the previous generation, and power consumption is reduced by 38% at the same performance.
In order to become a qualified "third-generation Snapdragon 8 performance ceiling", the Red Devil paired it with the ICE 130 Magic cooling system to ensure continuous performance release. The strength of this built-in cooling system, 4WHAT was tested by 10 consecutive Antutu performance tests.
Based on the test results, the RedMagic 9 Pro+ at room temperature did pretty well on its first run. Compared to the 4what third-generation Snapdragon 8 engineering machine tested in a lab environment, it is 140,000 points, compared to the Dimensity 9300 engineering machine, it is 4,000 points behind.
After several consecutive Antutu performance tests, the RedMagic 9 Pro+'s score has slipped, but after the fourth time, the score has stabilized around 1.76 million points, while the battery temperature has also stabilized at 42 degrees.
Performance fluctuated in the initial stages of continuous benchmarking, but as the only smartphone on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform to have an active cooling system, the RedMagic 9 Pro+ still has a game frame rate that doesn't have to worry about it.
4What tested Genshin Impact at 60 fps and Golden Shovel at 120 fps in a room temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, and the RedMagic 9 Pro+ was able to run at full frame for an hour. And Honkai: Star Dome Railway's 60 fps mode does not have a full frame, but the average frame rate for half an hour also reaches 5837 frames.
And 4what also felt the temperature of the fuselage with my hand when testing the frame rate. In short, the calorific value of "Genshin Impact" and "The Battle of the Golden Shovel" is similar, which can be described as hot. Honkai: Star Rail will be a little hotter, but it's still in the temperature range that you can hold in your hand.
What?The Red Devils can't even run the map of "Honkai: Star Dome Railway" to full frame?I remember that the frame rate shown at the press conference was a straight line. ”
Calm down, after all, Shenzhen, where 4WHAT is located, has not yet entered winter, so the room temperature of 27 degrees is definitely higher than the environment during the Red Devil test. Of course, we also retested it at night at 23 degrees Celsius, and the average frame rate for this half hour was naturally 6008 frames.
It's worth mentioning that we also used a room temperature of 23 degrees to run a run-up test of the Breaker mode. Broken God Mode was born in the RedMagic 8S Pro series, but has been hidden by the Reds at the very bottom of the game's sidebar, and its effect is that all the cores of the mobile platform will run at full frequency, no matter how hot the temperature is.
However, this year, Qualcomm's third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform has been greatly improved in terms of peak performance and energy efficiency, so the Red Magic 9Pro+'s Destruction God mode can be said to be useless. After all, the machine can handle popular mobile games with only Awakening mode, so until the advent of mobile games with higher resolutions or frame rates, everyone should follow the wishes of the Red Devils and let the God of Destruction mode stay in the corner with peace of mind.
After seeing the performance of the RedMagic 9 Pro+, we have a deeper understanding of the gaming performance of the third-generation Snapdragon 8 chip. When fully cooled, this chip can burst out very powerful gaming performance, and the further upgraded energy efficiency compared to the previous generation effectively improves the battery life and heat of the phone in daily use scenarios. Combined with the overall performance in other aspects, the third-generation Snapdragon 8 chip is undoubtedly the best choice for Android flagships.
In terms of autonomy, the RedMagic 9 Pro+ with a 5500mAh battery can be described as meeting expectations. The power consumption of daily applications is within an acceptable range, and it is not a problem to use it for an afternoon of short** or an afternoon of live matching.
The power consumption of the game is slightly higher than that of other models on the same platform, but most of these additional costs come from components such as cooling fans and lighting effects for a better experience. Of course, you can also adjust the gears or turn them off at any time to achieve a longer battery life.
After the battery life met expectations, the RedMagic 9 Pro+ also passed 165W wired fast charging and ICE 130 The Magic Cooling System achieves a satisfactory "blood recovery speed".
For example, in the fast charging mode, you can charge from 1% to 44% in 5 minutes, and the phone will show that it will be charged to 100% in 16 minutes. By default, the RedMagic 9 Pro+ is also able to charge up to 44% of its battery in 20 seconds in Turbo Fast Charging mode, and the phone will only display 100% charge for 2 minutes in Turbo Fast Charging mode.
However, 4what also knows that different manufacturers have different ways to display the battery level, and the phone shows 100% does not mean that the battery is fully charged. So 4WHAT also records the time spent in terms of the time when the input power is less than 1W via the ammeter.
The fast charging mode is 20 minutes to be fully charged, and the default setting is 22 minutes to be fully charged. This means that if you want to fully charge your phone, you just need to let it charge for an additional 2 minutes after it shows 100% charge.
Finally, the RedMagic 9 Pro+ is also worth mentioning for its dual rear cameras, which are made up of a 50-megapixel GN5 main camera with optical image stabilization and a 50-megapixel JN1 wide-angle camera. Although the quality is not comparable to that of models in the same price range, as long as you are willing to delve into the preset function a little, you can still take beautiful pictures.
Take the "Starry Sky Shot" in the camera family as an example, this function can superimpose the starry sky or moon into your own shooting ** when you press the shutter. 4What I highly recommend turning on this feature for those who use the RedMagic 9 Pro+, as it allows you to shoot well in the evening**.
The camera goes straight out of the starry sky and shoots in seconds.
The camera goes straight out of the starry sky and shoots in seconds.
The RedMagic 9 Pro+ is a more mature gaming phone. It incorporates many of the features that the Red Devil is always proud of, such as a great under-display camera full screen, air-cooled heat dissipation that allows for continuous performance, and dual-touch shoulder buttons with breathing lights that increase the control dimension.
And in terms of common functions, 3The 5mm headphone jack, dual speakers, under-display fingerprint, NFC and IR remote control are all missing. Although the system is significantly different from the current four major manufacturers, the number of basic functions is up to standard, and the stability of the application is no problem.
As for purchase suggestions, in fact, there are still a lot of conventional phones listed in the search for e-sports or gaming phones on e-commerce platforms, but hardcore products like the RedMagic 9 Pro+ seem to be only the RedDevil and ROG are still insisting on it. ROG hasn't launched a phone powered by Qualcomm's third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform yet, and the RedDevils are basically the only option at the moment.
So which version to buy?4WHAT ReviewThe RedMagic 9 Pro+ uses "5500 mAh battery + 165W fast charging", from the actual use experience and all aspects, and considering that there is no difference in the shape design and performance of the two models in addition to the battery, charging and memory, 4WHAT will recommend everyone to choose the "6500 mAh battery + 80W wired fast charging" RedMagic 9 Pro. After all, in the vast majority of cases, "longer use" will be more important than "faster charging".
Of course, if you are obsessed with 16G RAM or 24GB of RAM, then boldly add money to the RedMagic 9 Pro+!
