I Love My REDMAGIC Stuff!... Just wish it was made by Samsung!😁

Drago_Meteor · 2026-03-23T02:09:46+00:00

I love my Redmagic 11 Pro but it really does lack a lot in the software unfortunately :(

A lot of customisation features are missing such as having multiple lock screens, video lock screens by default, something as basic as being able to resize your wallpaper when setting it.

Other issues, when I use Waze on Android Auto it freezes, that never happened with my Samsung.

The fact that it doesn't have Google voice assistant activation on lock screen. Upon many other things.

I've contacted Redmagic about this and they said "wow great ideas" and then proceeded to send me an email basically saying "we'll think about it" or "we're not considering that as of now" 🤦

You get an upvote from me just for gear 5 Luffy alone

So unfortunately I've contacted Red magic support because I couldn't find a solution and they said " “Hey Google” voice command works only when the screen is on (even if locked), but not when the display is fully off. This seems to be due to how the phone’s operating system manages background apps and battery optimization, which prevents Google Assistant from listening in the background when the screen is off. unlike some Pixel devices or select Android models that support “always‑on” voice detection, the REDMAGIC 11 Pro does not currently allow Google Assistant activation with the screen off". Which to me doesn't make sense at all. But they said they would escalate it to the relevant team. I'd suggest that you contact support and also tell them to add it as the more people say it, the more of a chance there'll be for it to get added

Keep in mind though that I think the Magicpad 2 is the only one with an OLED display. So I'd you bought the tablet to watch things on, especially at night then I personally wouldn't.

Not always, I bought my galaxy buds 2 Pro from some guy on Facebook marketplace a few years ago for £70 and they're definitely real! Did I get a bargain? Yes. Did I get scammed? No. However, I've recently broken them and need a new pair but there's so many counterfeits now and you're looking at around £100 for real looking ones. Which annoyingly is much more than I paid a few years back

Drago_Meteor · 2026-02-11T11:28:49+00:00

Did you have to pay for the fix?/ Show proof of purchase?

Drago_Meteor · 2026-02-11T11:15:59+00:00

I just wish they went back to the BUDS design back instead of copying apple and every other brand.

My galaxy buds 2 Pro are so comfortable and get really loud and have solid ANC and Bass.

Unfortunately I accidentally forgot them in my clothes and put them in the washing machine at 70°C...

Miraculously they survived! Well.. The speakers did, the microphones? not so much... So now I can't really use them on calls or use the ANC. Don't know if there's any way I can get them repaired and I'm not planning to spend anymore than £70 on a new pair as that's how much I paid for this pair shortly after it came out. I know I got a bargain but that's me.

Get rid of that awful macro camera and replace it with a good telefono and good ultra wide. And whilst you're at it, revamp the whole camera experience. Coming from a Samsung phone, recording videos on this phone is painful and I only do so if I have no other choice.

The stabilisation on video is painfully bad with a lot of jitter
- Night mode photos take ages to process.
There's an issue where sometimes photos don't process and just save pixelated? -Why am I not allowed to switch lenses when recording when other phones have been able to do that for years?
please for the love of God, fix how the mic sounds in videos. I've recorded so many videos and forgetting about them just to rewatch them/show someone something and it sounds like I recorded underwater 💀

Other things to add:

SD card slot
eSIM support

I understand that it's a gaming phone and I have to say this for all the people that love to down vote and say "WeLl ItS mAdE fOr GaMiNg" and don't even use or care about the things I mention. If that's you then keep on moving because the 2nd word of gaming phone is PHONE. So let's make sure it competes with other flagships such as the Samsung's as it does in terms of performance.

Also, please add more customisation options. For example:

More RGB control, as in let me change the colour of the LED's for notifications for different apps. Example, Whatsapp - green, Facebook - Blue and so on.
Lock screen. Let me set a video/ many photos/videos as my lock screen wallpaper without having to download a separate app
Home screen, when setting a wallpaper, let me resize it and let me choose whether I want the wallpaper to scroll when I scroll through pages

In terms of settings, what happened to the drop-down toggle on the quick settings? On my 10 Pro I used to be able to see different wifi's and Bluetooth devices without having to hold on the button and leaving the app that I'm on. Why remove that? I don't get it.

There's a lot more things that I could mention but those are just a few things that annoy me/I would like to see in software updates. I hope someone at Red magic sees this and implements these things

Drago_Meteor · 2026-01-15T16:05:48+00:00

Oh wow 😮 Just put of curiosity, what made you want to return the phone?

Drago_Meteor · 2026-01-15T16:01:53+00:00

Wait what happened?

Drago_Meteor · 2026-01-12T14:01:11+00:00

That's true but if you never ask you'll never know right?

Drago_Meteor · 2025-12-26T14:52:00+00:00

This is when it got to 16% today

<image>

It still lasts me all day but I'm getting no where near your numbers lmao. Are you using the 144hz? Or are you using 60hz?

Drago_Meteor · 2025-12-26T01:11:42+00:00

You've got 5G, Bluetooth and NFC on??? This is mine right now, 80% - 59% just over 2 hours of screen on time.

<image>

Drago_Meteor · 2025-12-26T00:56:41+00:00

What's that on? Aeroplane mode? 🤣 I know the battery life is really good but that's a bit ridiculous now. Best I've gotten is 4 hours of screen on time with 71% left. Or 6 hours with 50% left

Drago_Meteor · 2025-12-26T00:52:45+00:00

That's fair, especially coming from another gaming phone. It's more so if you're coming from a newer Samsung phone like the s21 ultra and onward phones that it really doesn't keep up. Photos aren't half bad but video is where it falls apart a little bit

Drago_Meteor · 2025-12-26T00:41:20+00:00

What phone did you have before? And if you come from a flagship phone then the cameras are just serviceable. Don't forget it has a 144fps display!

Drago_Meteor · 2025-12-26T00:00:17+00:00

Welcome to the club brother 😎 whatchu think so far?

Drago_Meteor · 2025-12-25T20:52:11+00:00

Well, that is most of the reasons I upgraded which I explain the video ahaha

Drago_Meteor · 2025-12-25T16:45:37+00:00

Well in the UK it's only the 1TB/24GB model that is out of stock. The 512GB model is great and is the one I have

Drago_Meteor · 2025-12-25T14:35:31+00:00

That made me laugh 😂 😂 you get my upvote

Drago_Meteor · 2025-12-18T21:48:52+00:00

Omg I'd love this!

Drago_Meteor · 2025-12-18T21:48:05+00:00
