Red Magic 9 Pro in-depth performance test: it ends the performance competition early

I have to say that in this increasingly homogenized mobile phone market, the Red Magic is indeed a quite unique and unusual existence.

While the entire gaming phone category is struggling due to the increased energy consumption ratio of Qualcomm Snapdragon, the Red Devils have always adhered to their own set of product concepts. With a straight body and active heat dissipation, what you want is a performance release.

When the entire industry's flagship mobile phones are becoming more and more hunched due to the constant accumulation of imaging modules, the Red Devils actually give you a flat screen The rear camera design may even be the only product in the entire mobile phone market in the past four or five years.

The most important thing is, As the master of netizens' opinions, the Red Devils has really succeeded in attracting a group of fans. When the flagship sub-brands of several major manufacturers sell for about 3,000 yuan, this product can actually be sold starting at 4,399 yuan. The sales volume on JD.com is even higher than Meizu 21 is even higher...

Even Xiao Lei was stunned when he saw this scene.

This time, Xiaolei also got a Red Magic 9 Pro Dark Knight Edition years ago, and even prepared a controller accessory specifically adapted to the NS emulator. Let’s talk to you in detail about the in-depth gaming performance experience of this product.

Appearance: A touch of flat screen

Although the Red Magic 9 Pro is a mobile phone that focuses on performance, we still want to Let’s start with the exterior design.

#I don’t know since when, the screen hole on the front of the mobile phone and the module axis protrusion on the back have become standard features of almost every product.

Here, let’s not talk about the reasons behind this phenomenon, but only the impact this phenomenon brings to us——

Firstly, it affects the look and feel of the screen on the front of the phone; secondly, it affects the use experience when held horizontally. The uneven back of the phone will inevitably block the user’s index and middle fingers when holding horizontally. , leaving a left hand with nowhere to put it.

Even the latest ROG For the Phone 8, in order to accommodate the IMX890 sensor, the original thin and narrow camera module was iterated into a raised stepped three-camera module. The protrusion of the rear camera module almost caught up with the thickness of the middle frame.

The Red Devils think this won’t work.

So, the Red Magic 9 Pro comes with a flat design for the first time.

Although strictly speaking From a physical point of view, the fill light area of ​​this machine still has some slight bulges that are difficult to detect, but other than that, the entire machine is like a framed metal plate covered by pure flat glass on the front and back, with a The industrial beauty is completely different from other contemporaries.

In my opinion, a former MIX user, this is definitely the biggest highlight of the Red Devils this year.

On the front, the Red Devils have a traditional under-screen camera design.

This brand new "True full screen", although it does not reach 1.5K resolution, it has a screen-to-body ratio of 93.7, paired with an almost flawless display effect.

#Hey, these perforated screens on the market are going to be knocked down.

On the back, this time the Red Devils have made a new design and stuffed the entire three-camera module under a flat glass back panel.

Although it is relatively average For mobile phones, the imaging module of the Red Magic 9 Pro has been greatly reduced in size, but the combination of 50MP GN5 (OIS) 50MP JN1 2MP macro is even stronger than the previous generation. It is estimated that there will be no problem in meeting the needs of gamers for scanning and taking pictures.

Further down, there is an active cooling fan.

This time the Red Devils specially A full set of customizable RGB has been added to this fan, and the related lighting effects can be adjusted in many places in the mobile phone system, focusing on a sultry look.

As for the operation of the cooling system, I will draw a schematic diagram and you will probably know.

I have to say that this entire design is indeed in line with my imagination of a gaming phone.

Performance: Extremely Powerful

Now that we have seen the most exciting part of the whole machine, it is also time to talk about it Let’s talk about performance.

Let’s make it simple here and run the score in the basic mode with balanced heat dissipation.

Randomly, AnTuTu scored 212W points.

Although it is not being promoted 220W is so high, but it stands out among the Snapdragon 8 Gen3.

In 3DMark, which tests the graphics capabilities of the GPU, the Red Magic 9 Pro in Xiaolei’s hands scored 8578 points in the Solar Bay test. Scored 5082 points in Wildlife Extreme.

Theoretically, there are It’s at the level of a desktop 1050Ti.

So what’s next?

Next, it’s time to “Original God, activate”.

With the awakening mode turned on and balanced heat dissipation, Genshin Impact Xumi ran the map for 30 minutes, and the average frame rate actually reached 60.3 frames.

After half an hour of playing , the whole machine does not even have obvious signs of heating. It can only be said that the 720P Genshin Impact is really handled by the Red Devils.

# However, the Red Devils have also taken this into consideration and provided users with a super-realistic image quality function that super-resolves the picture to the screen resolution.

Not only that, they also hid a God of Destruction mode at the bottom of the sidebar. The function of God of Destruction mode is that no matter how high the temperature of the phone is, all The cores will keep running at full frequency, which is the theoretically strongest performance mode.

In Super Realm Painting In the God of Destruction mode, the Red Magic 9 Pro can perfectly run "Genshin Impact" with native resolution. After 30 minutes, the average frame rate can reach 60.31 frames, but even with active cooling, the temperature has reached an obviously hot level.

I can only say that it has tried its best to dissipate heat.

Next, it’s “Honkai: Star Rail”.

The scene is still the familiar center of the Star Ocean. After half an hour of playing, "Honkai Impact: Star Rail" ran a score of 60.25 frames.

Compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 flagship, which has an average of about 50 frames, and a batch of Snapdragon 8 Gen3 phones that are stuck at 55 frames, the Red Magic 9 Pro can be regarded as an important beginning to conquer Star Rail.

As for "League of Legends Mobile Game", a competitive online game that actually does not require much GPU power, the Red Magic 9 Pro can handle it at 120 frames without any pressure.

In active cooling With the support, the Red Magic 9 Pro can cope with the popular 3A mobile games currently on the market with its awakening mode alone.

Before the emergence of mobile games with higher resolution or frame rate, this product can definitely be said to be a standard answer for mobile game players.

Of course, since we are going to do in-depth testing, the selection of materials will naturally not be limited to 3A 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 bring some classic/independent PC games to On mobile devices, the performance required for these games is no lower than that of domestic mobile games.

"Medieval 2: Total War" is a classic PC war simulation game developed by The Creative Assembly and transplanted by feral interactive. Its movie narrative story method and the war form of commanding thousands of troops have always made players enjoy it.

In the default state , Red Magic 9 Pro can run stably at around 33 frames, which is also a relatively common frame rate in PC transplanted games. There is no problem with smooth play, but the heat generated by continuous play is not small.

Full of spoof atmosphere Everyone should be familiar with "Goat Simulator 3".

The default image quality of this game on Android phones is basically equivalent to the FHD low-quality 30 frames level on the PC. In the actual game, in addition to gliding at high speed on telephone poles There will be a slight frame drop at times, but at other times it can indeed run at full frame with the default image quality.

Don’t worry, it’s not over yet.

As hardcore players, how can we stop at mobile games?

Would you like to try... PSV or NS games?

(Photo source: Lei Technology)

Unfortunately, Since PSV emulator developers use MediaTek devices as development benchmarks, Qualcomm's performance on the PSV emulator is not ideal, and games such as "Killzone: Mercenaries" and "Toukiden" will encounter obvious textures. Errors or even crashes.

Fortunately, among emulator developers, the number of people using Qualcomm devices is obviously more than the number of people using MediaTek devices.

For example, the PS2 emulator AetherSX2 can run most games smoothly at 2 times the resolution, including the recent high-definition remake of "Persona 3" ", "God of War 2" and other classic masterpieces with hearty battles.

As for NS, after developers provide driver support for Snapdragon 8 Gen3, Red Magic 9 Pro can now perfectly simulate "Pokémon: Red", "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", etc. As an open world game, there are no common problems such as texture errors during play.

The game console that is more suitable for Chinese babies’ physiques is you.

Summary: It is worthy of the name, not only for e-sports

After such an experience, I personally think that before choosing this Before buying a product, you'd better ask yourself a question -

Do I play games?

(Photo source: Lei Technology)

If the answer is " "Yes", then the Red Magic 9 Pro is definitely a good-looking, high-performance portable gaming terminal. The flat body design gives it a superior horizontal grip experience, and the blessing of active heat dissipation allows users to experience Game smoothness is difficult to achieve on other models, and you can even get unexpected game auxiliary function bonuses.

If the answer is "no", then the Red Magic 9 Pro can still appear on your purchase list as a uniquely designed flagship. The design advantages have attracted many fans of the Xiaomi Mix series, and the essential 3.5mm interface, dual speakers, under-screen fingerprint scanner, full-featured NFC and infrared remote control are also not missing, and the daily experience is basically the same. There’s nothing seriously missing –

#except for wireless charging.

Of course, the Red Magic 9 Pro currently has some problems. For example, its UI functions are too simple and not compatible with 32-bit applications. There are also some problems with the information push function. The most important thing is that the official has locked the system unlocking channel, which makes The method of sneaking into MIUI in previous years has become a swan song.

But no matter what, the Red Magic 9 Pro will be a very unique mobile phone.

If you have the chance, you might as well give it a try.
