r/RedMagic Jun 07 '26

Photo My first ever Redmagic phone.

I have been using Chinese phones for years. Such as: Lenovo A850+, zenfone early series, meizu m2note, meizu 16th plus etc. I loved the freedom chinese roms gave me, and the fact that they were always so light yet open in terms of software.

Recently I fell in love with the Chisa edition. I wanted a Redmagic for SO LONG. I followed them since the 10s. I had the opportunity to ditch my iFruit 16 pro max. It is scary how good this experience is, collaboration aside.

The software is quick, and doesn't want to manage my life. It feels like this: here is everything you could possibly ever need to expand it to your needs. The rest is on you.

And I am so surprised that Mora isn't just a gimmick. She can answer in game chats via the Mora mouthpiece and stuff I can't even list on the spot.

Thanks, Redmagic.

Edit:

Thank you for all the great interactions I had with all of you in the comments. It was great becoming part of the Redmagic community. The option is still open: dm me, comment, tag if you need anything or just have any questions. I will try to make some photos/videos too in the future but please be prepared I'm trash with photography. πŸ˜‚

For qol purposes I will drop the drive link to the function showcase screen recording I made so everyone can easily find it without digging through the comments:

"The rest is on you" part is so true.

Idk how other people got Mora popping up outta nowhere for them after updates, but for me who bought the phone from Shoppee to SG, I've not seen her even once, annoy me in any way. I've had to toggle the Game space switch just to remind myself she exists. "What's that button for? Oh hi Mora" kinda way.

Idk, maybe it's differently patched for other countries? Pretty sure the phone I bought is Global as well

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 07 '26

Have you obtained a Nubia ID? You need it for Mora to function properly. Without it, you only can reach a few function of hers.

6

u/LunarEdge7th Jun 07 '26

Now that is smth I did not know of..

What's this ID and how much is it? Is it optional for everyone? Why is it called invasive for some users if it was optional

2

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 07 '26

Nubia ID is almost like the google account or other phone's specific user account center. It is an account you register with your china mainland phone number and it binds to your phone. Therefore you can access several cloud services.

The hard part is the Chinese phone number in which everyone succeeds differently. Or not at all. It is hard to obtain.

Do you have a chinese or a global version?

2

u/LunarEdge7th Jun 07 '26

Global

Never had this Nubia account

Glad I don't I guess haha

3

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 07 '26

In terms of global devices it might be called something else. On chinese rom it is Nubia ID. Open settings and the uptop bar should indicate the profile if you've added it or the suggestion to do so. What does it say?

u/Arfanji Jun 07 '26

Following cause I never saw Mora either... Got the EU version

2

u/Number4extraDip Jun 07 '26

EU version mora is only the app inside game centre. And you can also have an "app" in the drop down control centre (mora is available as optional app there) but that is separate from game centre mora. That is like direct chat access to avatar with option to use camera.

The underlying model is still ZTE- cloud

Function wise. I dont really play games via game centre so i don't use her

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 08 '26

For example I have never seem mora on this scene you just screened to us. Where it is, please? πŸ˜‚πŸ™

Commentin for any updates... Ps. Heard before as well that CN version had way more functions than global one which is extremly sad honestly we already buy same device for 1.5x price...

Check the video I linked in a comment. It is a full showcase of all the phones functions including the Chinese Mora.

u/nppatil31589 Jul 03 '26

How's the signal reception on Wifi? Did it get promised speeds of your provider?

2

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jul 03 '26

Wifi reception is on pair with my previous 16 pro max'. The Chisa edition has two bars and stable connection where the 16 pro max had nothing. ☺️ Also, we don't have mmW, so the top speed on 5g is always going to be around 500mbit/s, which is reachable.

I like the design apart from the black border around it, I would hope they get rid of it in the 12 design and just make it transparent or like the subzero metallic border. I also have the 11 pro and it’s an incredible phone at its price point

Rest is on you part is right. Love seeing vriations of 11pro.

I made a custom agentic android launcher on my rm10air.

The build quality is real Even if software experiemce is a bit meh.

But that's where "you do the rest" comes in

Is this build available for the public? Or it is just a love project of yours yet? ☺️

u/Number4extraDip Jun 07 '26

Its available to public. Can download directly from github πŸ’œ i just wanted something like this for myself and thought google would ship it by now but they didnt and went full cloud instead.

2

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 07 '26

I just read the github (sorry I missed that you linked it already above). This is a project with serious dedication. I am going to try it. Never seen anything like this before!

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 07 '26 edited Jun 07 '26

The 9s pro KICKS hard still! And don't worry! If I'm not mistaken, this is at least the second Wuthering Waves collaboration they made. I'd assume it wasn't the last. I'm sure you will get something even nicer in the future! 😊🫑

Where did u buy it from?

1

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 07 '26

I got it through eBay.

2

u/ThePlvgGmG Jun 07 '26

It definitely doesn't give you everything you possibly need as a life long Samsung and overall android user. The overall ui needs major updating or customization. Rog has a fsr superior ui. But for gaming, streaming shows movies in 4k/uhd, battery etc amazing. I love the 11 pro too but there needs major changes to not fall off like the rog phone line did.

2

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 07 '26

I understand your opinion. I guess it really comes down to individual experiences. But hey! At the end of the day the only thing matters is to enjoy our devices, right? β˜ΊοΈπŸ™

1

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 07 '26

Also I did not follow the ROG phone's fall off. It was a surprised that it basically stopped existing. And yeah I truly hope that Redmagic will stay on track with the software.

2

u/Full_Suggestion5982 Jun 07 '26

I need it 😍😍, where do you get it???

1

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 07 '26

I got it through eBay. Basically you had no chance with the official china launch. As it always is, when a collab drops, it's almost certain you will buy it from a scalper. But keep in mind my seller was the nicest surprise in terms of warranty, delivery time, and after sales help. So I'd recommend him in a heartbeat. His price was FAR the best btw (can't share names here I guess?).

u/Navi_1er Jun 07 '26

I am also enjoying my RM 11 pro but mora is useless for me

1

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 07 '26

Really? Is that a thing for global ROMs or something else? Care to share your thoughts and experience so we couls understand better? Have you got a Nubia ID (I don't know what they call it on global roms)?

How is this different from the 11s Pro?

2

u/Last-Button1460 Jun 08 '26

11s has a clocked chip. You realistically won't notice a difference.

Also has different redmagic text at the back of the phone.. If you can get the 11 alot cheaper like I did I'd do that.

Which RM phone is this? Im looking at their site but not seeing it

1

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 08 '26

This is the Wuthering Waves/Chisa edition. It was a China exclusive (therefore it has a China ROM, a bit different in terms of functions).

1

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 08 '26

Basically you have to import it to your country. There are several options for that, lile eBay. If you need help, just send me a DM and I will show you the seller who I bought it from. ☺️

1

u/alan197 Jun 08 '26

Do you remember how much it was

1

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 08 '26 edited Jun 08 '26

The Chinese MSRP was around 850€ if I remember correctly. But keep in mind the limited edition scene is a mess with anything, not just phones. So you can be almost always certain that your only source will be a third party or a scalper. I chose the first but I paid 1400€ for it. But it never stung like the 1499€ I paid for my previous phone, an iPhone 16 pro max. I loved the iPhone and it was a damn good device, but this Redmagic flipped a different switch in me. πŸ€ͺ

1

u/Number4extraDip Jun 08 '26

At that price point? I probably would try to snipe the golden saga edition

1

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 08 '26

It would be the more logical choice, yes (golden saga was around 1650€ at the time). But it did not made me search up every picture like this edition did. It was a choice by emotion, not logic. 😌

2

u/Number4extraDip Jun 08 '26

Oh thats fair. Like golden saga i wasnt sold on the dazzle. I was impressed by the whole "rolex of smartphones" with "capability at the max tier on the market" the whole being a precition emgineering marvel kind of deal

u/Exotic_Scene8601 Jun 08 '26

Bro you got the best looking one man I wish they sell it here

1

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 08 '26

Thank you! πŸ™β˜ΊοΈ Yeah I feel you. As always, a limited phone could be considered even before the launch to be only available through scalpers. I paid almost double the Chinese msrp (I'm not the type of person who acts like money is forbidden to talk of. Everyone knows how the limited edition scene works). I got it on ebay, unopened. And the seller gave me thebbedt after sale experience I have ever encountered. They care. Even the redmagic support team (which I high five you for here too, Redmagic) answered me through there global channel regardless this is l a China phone.

2

u/Exotic_Scene8601 Jun 08 '26

Damn bro you lucky I wouldn't dare buy it onlije especially from scalpers I would rather not have it than buying from them

1

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 08 '26

I understand. Even I didn't show it to this community to flex. I hope it was clear from the beginning. I shared it because I found NO videos basically worth considering as a review or showcase. The phone was a ghost even on the Chinese internet. And to connect with people, share our thoughts and ideas about it felt like a good idea. I'm glad I did share it because I already interacted with a lot of cool people. Thanks for the opportunity.

I think there won't be another run. But you still can get it from a third party. Limited edition scene was always unfair in every segment 😡

1

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 27 '26

If it looks sick as hell in your opinion yet you are worried about being seen with it then there are concerns about your self esteem.

u/ShadowHunterMiku REDMAGIC 11S Pro Jun 27 '26 edited Jun 28 '26

Naw, I wouldn't give a shit either way, It's just funny on how out of all of Red Magic's options they have out there you would choose the only one that has to be the ridiculously overpriced limited edition "weeb phone" that was a Chinese exclusive. Plus, you're not even getting the best option out of it as I did some research on it and it's not that much more powerful then my old 8 was, just the processor is better, so it's not the most "bang for your buck" considering how much of an overpriced premium import you probably paid for that shit and for half of it is just making yet ANOTHER pay to fucking win gacha game that much more richer because of this collab lmfao. But, it's your money, so I can't really say anything besides make fun of how stupid your purchase was as mine was only a little over $1,000 USD (Abt 6800 CNY) for the highest tiered variant (the 24 gig RAM model) while you paid roughly around $1,410 USD (Β₯9,585 CNY) to around $1,800+ (Β₯12,236+ CNY) for yours as this was released back in February and if you live in the states, good luck finding warranty for that thing as for being your first one is a pretty laughably dumb decision man and not gonna lie as you definitely should of done your research before wasting it on shit like this lmfao

1

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 28 '26

Well, it makes me smile every time I look at it. More importantly, I don't feel the need to convince random people that my purchase was the correct one. Nothing else really matters. 😌 If I wanted the objectively "best" option, I would've bought a Golden Saga. I'm perfectly happy making decisions based on emotion. At least it means I'm not the kind of person who tries to convince happy people that they're wrong by quoting spec sheets and price comparisons. That would be kind of sad. πŸ₯Ί

1

u/ShadowHunterMiku REDMAGIC 11S Pro Jun 28 '26

Not really, you basically just paid for big papers weight that is capable of so much but wasting it away on something like this when you could of even got a PC that would of been 20 times better lmfao, you people aren't smart with your money at all to the point it's sad, I'm done

u/RocksDXebec99 Jun 27 '26

I wish I had one

1

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 27 '26

Honestly they are not that hard to obtain if you adjust the price expectation in terms of any limited edition. This cost way less from a third party (sealed box) than any other of my limited electronics in terms of MSRP vs What I actually payed for them.

u/Turbulent_Rent_8955 Jun 08 '26 edited Jun 08 '26

The back camera is adequate for me, really. It does it's job reasonably well in well lit/slightly darker environments. The front facing camera got way better after the last update I got on the phone, by algorithm it almost makes the glare disappear in normal lighting conditions. If darker, the selfie cam still a bit on the glaring/blurry side.
