The improvement of the Red Magic 5S compared with the Red Magic 5G is mainly due to the optimization of GPU overclocking and ID appearance, and the cooling scheme has also been improved to a certain extent. In terms of ID appearance, the design of the back cover of the Red Magic 5S is not too complicated, it is similar to the design of the ROG Phone that can be used every day, and the recognition is mainly due to the silver nameplate on the central axis, which is not only decorative, but also part of the cooling system.
In terms of bezels, the Red Magic 5G is rounded, and the 5S is changed to a faceted facet, which feels a little narrower in the hand. The buttons and interfaces on the bezel belong to the normal number, there are regular shoulder buttons and volume buttons, and there is a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is considered a rare interface even in gaming phones. There is an air outlet that runs through the left and right above the frame, and a cooling fan is placed inside, the life of this cooling fan is indeed very long, but dust accumulation is inevitable, and the noise and heat dissipation efficiency will inevitably decrease after the dust accumulation, so it can only be disassembled and cleaned.
Users can buy another deuterium semiconductor cooling fan, this product is not new, and Xiaomi, Black Shark that one looks like the same, the principle is similar, the role is to use two cooling fans at the same time. There is also a Type-C port under the deuterium cooling fan, which can charge the phone while using it.
The weight of the Red Magic 5S body is 215 grams, which is very light among the game phones that are often more than 230 grams, after all, the other ones are stable half-catty machines, plus the narrowed bezel, the feel is relatively normal for daily use.
Screen,Red Magic5SShe same as the rescuerProVisionoxOLEDscreen,FHD resolution,Sub-pixels areDeltaArrangement,The fineness is much worse than the Samsung screen of the Pentile arrangement,2340×10806.65Inch screen,The real PPI after conversion is only about 260。 The screen refresh rate is144Hz,The touch sampling rate is270Hz,It is a more conventional parameter in similar products,to120Hzand144Hz、240Hzand270HzAfter this level,The difference in experience is not as obvious as in numbers,Manufacturers choose the screen more for marketing and cost considerations。
In terms of brightness, the Red Magic 5S and the Rescuer Pro have similar manual maximum brightness, one is 450 nits, the other is 430 nits, and there is a significant gap in the automatic peak brightness, the Red Magic 5S can reach up to 660 nits, and the Rescuer Pro is only 550 nits. Although the brightness of the Red Magic 5S screen is not as good as the Samsung E3 screen, but considering the comprehensive cost, refresh rate, brightness and other aspects, this screen also has its outstanding advantages. If you have a pursuit of screen quality, it is still recommended to give priority to the Black Shark 3S and OPPO Ace2 in this category.
In terms of performance, there aren't many models in this category that are equipped with the Snapdragon 865, only the ROG 3 and the Lenovo Legion Pro for the time being. The SoC of the RedMagic 5S is the Snapdragon 865, and then the GPU Boost boosts the peak GPU frequency, and then optimizes the cooling scheme to maintain the peak performance of the SoC for as long as possible.
During gaming, although the GPU Boost can reach 670MHz, the RedMagic 5S, the 865 chip, will take longer at 587MHz and 490MHz, and the ROG 3's 865 is often at 490MHz, and the RedMagic 5S is better in terms of frame rate and stability. In contrast, a properly tuned 865 will be even better than an 865.
In terms of heat dissipation, the Red Magic 5S continues to use the previous fan for heat dissipation, with equally obvious advantages and disadvantages, increasing the risk of dust accumulation and reducing waterproof performance, but the heat dissipation performance does have certain advantages over other passive heat dissipation models. In the baking test, the ROG 3 has a maximum temperature of 41 degrees on the back due to its very inactive scheduling strategy, while in the game test environment, it will heat up severely, and the maximum temperature on the back is 46 degrees. The Red Magic 5S performed well in both the game test and the oven test, with a maximum temperature of 42 degrees on the back of the Peace Elite for an hour and a half, and a maximum temperature of 42.7 degrees in the oven test, plus a cooling fan, the temperature performance can be better.
In terms of photography, the Red Magic 5S continues to use the IMX686 main camera plus Hi846 ultra-wide angle combination, and the front camera is also better than nothing8 million pixel CMOS, but the Red Magic 5S main camera is still very good. In the large light ratio, the scene can shoot blue sky and white clouds, not as white as ROG 3, and the resolution is a little better than that of the Rescuer Pro's GW1, but the pixels of this ultra-wide angle are really not high, and it belongs to the type that is better than nothing, and the resolution is relatively average.
The system is the slot of the Red Devil mobile phone, and it is also a problem that Nubia has been left over, the update speed is slow, there are many bugs, and the poor adaptation is a traditional art, and the application flashback is the most perceptible system defect in daily life, and the network is also a thing that happens from time to time, and it needs to be restarted to solve. If you have a bit of requirements for software experience, the Black Shark 3S with JoyUI and the OPPO Ace2 with ColorOS are better choices.
In terms of charging range, the Red Magic 5S is equipped with a 4500mAh battery, which is a normal level in a 5G mobile phone, but it is a little smaller as a gaming phone, the Black Shark 3S is 4720mAh, the Rescuer Pro is 5000mAh, and the ROG 3 is the largest, reaching 6000mAh. In terms of charging, it is the first echelon, the original factory comes standard with a 55W PPS charging head and an E-Marker double C cable, with a peak power of 55W, and it only takes 40 minutes to fully charge from 0-100%.
