I'm quite impressed this phone had featured 8K video recording. I bet there are custom ROMs with Android 15 for this phone.

        red magic 3s 12gb ram & 265gb storage modal we got the smartphone feels soild in the hands all metal build the oled screen looks really good such a nice screen the picture is good and screen has such good responsiveness really is lighting fast so impressive

        just using the phone the screen also respond too touch so well unlike before we have much higher expecations for perforance as a resuit of being used too much faster phones
        but this phone really does have the wow factor feels unreal how quick this phone really is even so its not the newest phone

        it does come as rooted the phone we got a touch screen really works so well for me seems we all agree theres phones really performace monsters the sheer speed and power is way above what the hardware specs suggest in turns of how good it really is

        red magic 3.0 Os chinese version we got just so well opitomized so fast the phone runs just so well but the software is buggly and full of probloms got the chinese version of the phone bad english and some text in chinese and a learning curve too trying make the phone work the way we want it too
        there is no easy way install what we need working so in a rushed review only limited testing was done

        web browser works very well and i also find the keyboard can be understand even so it is awkward layout english and chinese but switch between them with buttons web pages display very well and can open many browser tabs without probloms

        ideally i wanted test make sure the phone be usable as dayly driver but wasnt able get money apps working in the time which of been useful for the purpure of testing if the phone works in a functional way

        This is where the struggle happens google just makes it just too hard even so i am a software dev in a way the seller from dhgate told us the app store works but it just don't
        they where not able find a way around google not working i tried my metheds i was thinking the google app store clone the aurora which i have heard will suppert online banking will work but just wasn't able overcome the software problom but run into too many probloms also google just refuse too play nice i am sure its on purpure at this point too many sus reason believe otherwise

        i am pro choice and work together as i perfer drivers modified too work but not everone values this game testing didnt really happen just too many probloms i blame the network provider which is just so bad and hackers rigging test resuits turns out not everone values fair tech reviews so they tamper and try too rig tests
        so i just can't find a way around the this either which was a huge shame the phone does have gaming mode and is rooted version of the phone i just don't know the reason why it just won't work for must apps

        The version with the google app store is better if you can buy it but i should point out the google app store is very heavy and at fault for slowing down phones a lot

        i think the red magic 3 is worth it for about 250 we paid 270 pound for it just a touch other price for me and with the silly ways online shopping rules are working in the uk it isnt helping anyone

          Got another smartphone for review turns out we don't always agree on if we like a smartphone and often phones get dropped and break which makes a lot of probloms as we do use the phones we buy

          i guess think of my reviews as secret shopper in a way anyway this review had too be done in a rush so i didnt have much time too do testing as i can as usual as family use them i just check the phones for real specs and review feedback i do the reviews so the products inprove so i try too focus as much on software as i can and build of the phone and stuff people dont know unless someone does a hands on review

                Anonymous, 16 Sep 2021how does this phone hold up in 2021?? I am getting it used fro about tn months for about 200$ ... moreDepends on what phone you're coming from but for me the screen is not bright enough. If you're outside in summer sunlight you can barely see the screen. If you're indoors then every phone is bright enough. There are no more software updates. The phone is almost 3 years old now and even popular name brands don't provide updates beyond ~2 years until recently.

                However, everything else about the phone is pretty good. Since everyone is different, its hard to give you an idea about it. I loved this phone in 2019 but the terrible camera, poor brightness outdoors, lack of updates/software support, aging hardware, does it no favors in 2022. I would not pay more than 100 USD for this phone in 2022 but that is my opinion on it. Go look for an LG V60 if you're looking for something cheap but good. the LG V60 is basically better than this phone in every single aspect and the V60 should be extremely cheap now considering LG's situation in the mobile market (they left)

                  Ya buddy!! It's now 2022! My red magic 3 is still as competitive as new. I'm still stomping people in cod mobile. The battery is still like new. Last all day. Fan l, everything works well. Honestly, at a decent price I'd still get one. The only thing that all there phones lack, is tons of updates like the big boys. But that is not what I got it for.

                        I only care about the screen and battery as i watch a lot of videos. I am not a gamer.

                            joe nodden, 04 May 2019Oh god I hope those camera specs are real, this would for sure be my next phone if they are. Spoiler alert: They were but it wasn't.

                              It's hard to believe that this is the phone that kickstarted the 8K video recording trend. Now, we see them on a lot of flagship smartphones.
