    Great for gaming or using the internet. Screen is amazing and responsive. Great battery life unless you use 120hz. I use 90hz just so the battery doesn't die out fast.

    Biggest problem is the call quality, dropped calls or people can't hear me. Really disappointing that in the 2020's I get less reliable call quality than my nokia 6160 from 1998. The software is garbage and took a few hours to get setup here in Canada. Had to install an app to add the APN codes. Then I had to buy a new cord because it wasnt charging. Now it fully charges in an hour which is great.

    Great value, would I upgrade to a new model? Given the number of issues and the poor call quality, after 2 years with the phone I am looking to go with another manufacturer.

            Hi I have a red magic 5s the charger port doesn't seem to wanna hold a charge while charging slightest touch it disconnects. I've reached out to red magic support but that was usless still no response. So I'm looking to get a new charger port but no repair store in the city has any but some will change out the port if I have a good one. I can't seem to find a charge port for a 5s only 5g does that mean they both use the same charger ports

              I recently bought a redmagic 5s pulse and the phone didn't want to connect to mobile data !!?
              This was very frustrating as mobile data is important..
              Also checked with the broadband and everything was fine from there side..
              I contacted the redmagic support team and wasn't very responsive to an issue like mobile data .
              Overall this phone is a great phone with amazing performance.. but has let me down with it's mobile data.. not impressed as mobile data is important...
              I don't know what to do with this phone now??

                  0verLord, 27 May 2021Has anyone encountered the power button display has only Emergency Icon only, at the top left ... moreYes, it is same for me, even if the button is not visible there are other 2 buttons next to the emergency button. I guess the buttons and press, they work.

                      I am a Red Magic 5S user, I have updated for the new version 11. When red magic release it but too many bugs like it took 2 hours and 30 mins for my phone to full charge. Also the type c cable plug is heating up that is not normal. Before I updated to the new o.s. everything is fine. So don't update your O.S. to many bugs.

                        Hello, I am Streamer with partner program on trovo live, I bought Redmagic 5S phone 3 months ago then I use it in my streaming playing games PUBG Mobile and the problem is last week I update in latest version of the system NX659J_EUCommon_V7.57 the issue is when I open the the game the sounds is there but when I set up to my streaming App the sounds was gone of the game (internal Audio) even my teammates they cannot hear me in the game. what happened to the latest version upgrade?. I did factory reset, and uninstall the game and the stream App but still no sounds and the stream always end because stream App can not captures the internal audio and the mic audio. I hope they can fix it in ASAP because my streaming was already Stops because of this issue in my Redmagic 5S.

                                As a PHONE, ate there any issues / gripes / little unique issues with the hardware / software to be aware of?
                                If so, do these make it a pain in the &ss and negate the worth of having such high end gaming capabilities?

                                  Is this phone still worth it now that RedMagic 6 will come out anytime this week/month?

                                    depending on your region. up date to the US/Asia verison 8.12 or EU version 7.15 both are made for 5G or 5S device, and both are quite stable. only PUBG magic moments does not work.

                                      Pros: Device is Awesome looking, on screen overall experience is very good, battery is Good too,
                                      Cons: i play PUBG mobile & if i turn on screen recorder, phone turns really slow & performance goes down & down also inbuilt screen recorder doesnt even work sometimes, which is very frustrating.
