REDMAGIC 9S PRO "Frost" Review - Is a Gaming Phone in 2024 a Good Option or not?

*Timestamps are in the description and pinned comment for you to skip to wherever you need to.
I haven't gone as in-depth as I usually do with my other reviews in this one but the main points have been covered but if you need to use the Timestamps to skip along to a certain segment, that's completely fine!

A massive thank you to REDMAGIC for sending me this sample out for review!
I really do appreciate it :)

My opinions in this video are my own, I am not being paid by REDMAGIC, they have just sent out the samples for me to review which is what I like to do :)
======================================================
Welcome back to another in-depth phone review!
I know I said I was done with samples for now but this was last minute and this also serves as a Part 2 to my Nubia Z60 Ultra review I did a few weeks back.

Redmagic released this phone back in July 2024 but they're launching a new Frost colorway on the 12th of September which may not be for everyone since it's not as full on as the other color schemes but that's why I am taking a look at this phone to show you one of the most powerful gaming phones out there.

We've got an 8 Gen 3 in this, 12GB RAM and 256GB storage...but we also have RGB, a Cooling Fan and some shoulder buttons for gaming which yes, gaming phones are a bit of a gimmick - HOWEVER - this has the same asking price as the Nubia being $649 USD so this video is a comparison between the two to see which one would ultimately be the better choice.

I haven't went over everything in this review but I've covered most of the main points.
I hope you'll find this one enjoyable (I sound a bit bored in the video but it picks up later in it)
Thanks for tuning in and I'll see you all soon!
