I had three Redmagic gaming phones

I had three Redmagic gaming phones (5S Pro, 6S Pro, and 7S Pro), so let me tell you my story on why you should not be buying any of the Redmagic phones, that are in my opinion is just poorly designed phones with junky internal components and external accessories. My first gaming phone was Redmagic 5S Pro that after year of use just suddenly died on me with black screen of death (not repairable), something either shorted inside or my battery just crashed that killed my phone. I thought oh well, so I've got Redmagic 6S Pro Ghost Edition gaming phone, and after exactly one year my phone was just sitting on my table and charging overnight. When I got up in the morning my phone's back cover for some reason got unglued exposing internals of the phone (not repairable) due to cheap battery inside that got swollen for some reason. Same story with Redmagic 7s Pro, woke up in the morning and my power button was broken, I mean it is stuck and was no longer clickable, and the following day my phone got same black screen of death and died. Redmagic phones are not designed to be used with US phone providers, you can download app called Kimovil and see it for yourself. The internal cooling fan is small DUST COLLECTOR that in a year of collecting all of the dust from surface will cause your phone to die, because dust actually can short your board inside and that is exactly what I think happened to all of my three phones. This phone has many flaws and very cheap components inside. One of the flaws is the build in dust collecting fan, it makes no sense to expose internal board of your phone to heavy dust. Second flaw is position of the power button that besides having cheap built it is also gets on the way of the external fan accessory that literally is pressing on the power button to turn your phone off, in other words phone is not playable when you have that an external fan. Third flaw is external fan accessory has to be plugged in into something to get some power and you can't use phone's USB C port, because you also want to use gaming controller with your phone that goes you guessed it right on both sides of the phone. In other words, you can't use gaming controller and fan at the same time, unless you want to connect your phone to your computer or laptop and be literally chained to it while playing your favorite game. Forth flaw like I mentioned earlier you can't really use it as your primary phone in US, because it only supports only few bands, and I think it is also not compatible with the Verizon service provider. Last flaw is the build quality, these are very cheap gaming phones with very cheap components inside including battery that killed all of my three phones only after one year of use. Thanks God it didn't set of fire like those cheap Chinese batteries in the Samsung phones back in time, remember to buy fire blanket and ladder, so you can cover your burning phone with the fire blanket and escape through the window by using ladder 🙂. If you want decent gaming phone, get yourself a Rog Phone. It has high quality build, it doesn't have internal fan that sucks dust into your phone, and Rog Phones have two USB C ports, and you guessed it right one of the ports designed to power your external fan that also has unique design where power button has hollow button on the fan that becomes your clickable power button, and you can use your external fan while also using gaming controller. It also has 165 Hz refresh rate, where latest Redmagic phones only have 120 Hz refresh rate. External fan also has four additional programmable buttons on top of your gaming controller buttons that gives you some crazy advantage when you play your favorite first-person shooter game or Diablo Immortal mobile MMORPG game. Last Redmagic flaw is positioning of both speakers when you use gaming controller gets covered dumping the sound that feels mono and very weak. Rog Phone has both speakers position towards you when you have gaming controller creating very impressive stereo effect while being very loud. And forgot to mention that that audio port on Redmagic phones you won't be able to use if you are using gaming controller. It looks like Nubia has some kind of short-sighted designers with very narrow vision. Ditch those designers and get someone that can fix all of these flaws. STOP WASTING YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY AND BUY GAMING ROG PHONE INSTEAD AND STAY AWAY FROM THIS REDMAGIC JUNK!
