What the Critics Are Saying...

Would I recommend the Red Magic 3? Definitely, although only for a specific set of consumers. For most of the average consumers, the Realme X2 Pro or the Oneplus 7T would be a good investment as they have better cameras, provide regular updates, and has a cleaner design. So, like every gaming phone...

There is so much in here that is flagship-spec or completely unique, that it is a wonder the Red Magic 3 is so affordable.
