Ehehehe, 20 Dec 2023 Wtf you need 24GB of ram for lol You'll never use m. more People assumed the same of 6, 8, 10, 12, 16. GB of RAM on Phones. As the graphic abilities of SOCs keeps improving so will the need for large amounts of fast memory. I assume you understand the basic role of RAM in any given system or at least smartphones. Yes, 10 GB is adequate and often more than what most people use their phones for, although there are certain resource hogging games and apps that can choke the device. Not too long ago there was a freezing issue caused in iOS devices due to the system running out of memory, it was an really high resolution image that Androids with 8+ GB of RAM could cope with and 12+ GB wouldn't break a sweat yet iPhone's would freeze completely requiring a restart. I believe the YouTube channel "MrWhosTheBoss" (quite a big channel) made a video covering the issue as well.

SuperSpruce, 19 Dec 2023 Is this coming to the US? If so, this is outstanding value. more It won't be sold directly in the US. It will also be lacking a few bands, I'm pretty sure.
It will still work on most GSM carriers, though. And it is a lot of phone at a terrific price.

Well know at least two friends who have the phone from older generation and havent this issues. Anyway said fan can be cleaned by good hoower. It will take out all fuss and mess. I for example using hoower for cleaning my laptop.
My 16Gb Snowfall version arrived in Panama 2days to, and I'm using it right now to type this in fact. As a life-long OnePlus supporter who fell in love with my 12GB, Snapdragon 855+ One Plus 7T Pro McLaren, this was the right upgrade for me.
china users complains about the fan being dirty due to dust entered it and got stuck. some even posted it on bili-bili site ..

Reviews for "The Latest Red Magic Gaming Phones: What Makes Them Stand Out?"
1. John - 2 out of 5 stars - I was really disappointed with the GsmArena Red Magic phone. Right from the start, the battery life was terrible. I constantly had to charge it multiple times a day, which was very inconvenient. Additionally, the camera quality was subpar. The pictures I took were often blurry and lacked detail. Overall, I expected much more from this phone and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
2. Sarah - 1 out of 5 stars - I regret purchasing the GsmArena Red Magic phone. The performance is quite sluggish, and it often freezes or lags when using multiple apps. The user interface is also overly complicated and not intuitive at all. On top of that, the build quality feels cheap and not sturdy. I encountered several software glitches and had to deal with frequent crashes. Stay away from this phone if you're looking for a reliable and smooth experience.
3. Mark - 2 out of 5 stars - The GsmArena Red Magic phone was a major letdown for me. The display quality is disappointing, with dull colors and poor brightness. Even after adjusting the settings, it still doesn't match up to other phones in the market. The audio output is also lacking, with low volume levels and weak bass. The overall user experience was not enjoyable, and I would suggest considering other options before settling for this phone.
