They're working on making them so fragile they cannot even be shipped without breaking.
I'll keep my thicc redmagic with a headphone jack and cooling fan that most likely costs 40% less
Damn I just checked this phone out. This is most likely gonna be my next upgrade.
I absolutely love it a lot.
However be aware the under-display selfie camera is pretty bad on the Redmagic 9, and the phone is not waterproof because of the fan and headphone jack. The rain won't kill your phone but submerging it most likely will.
The battery life is amazing, the fast charging is pretty fast. I think I got 90% battery in less than an hour. And with the fan, it won't overheat when charging, or at all lol
Also buy a case from Amazon, the case that comes with it is bad lmfao
Thanks. Luckily, I rarely use selfie cameras, and I avoid water like the plague even with the "waterproof" phones. This one definitely seems like everything I've wanted in a phone without all the nonsense from the primary flagships.
I like my fat Pixel 9. The edges are satisfyingly grippy!
I use 2 phones. Far better than foldables, can upgrade independently.
I absolutely would want the lightest/thinnest phone possible that is god enough for phone calls/texting, and then my other phone is gaming, and mostly home phone stuff.
I just got a new phone on Friday. There were like 50 kinds, various sizes and thicknesses, foldable, not foldable. The one I got is pretty slim but I'm guessing if people want thick phones someone will keep selling them.
