    Wish the z80 ultra was sold through Amazon and stocked here.
    That phone has an awesome camera system. Pitty about the selfie camera through.

        Considering my downvotes, I guess nobody knows what "ROM" stands for. It isn't the same as "flash" or "storage".

          The term isn't used as strictly as it was in the 8 bit computer era.

          It's also a matter of perspective: to non-privileged apps it's read-only.

        • posilepton on 27/02/2026 - 22:58

          No, your downvotes are likely due to your obvious disingenuity. You definitely know they don't actually mean ROM in the title and mean storage, but you just want to nitpick.

      READ ONLY MEMORY

      • bp2000 on 28/02/2026 - 11:47

        I think it is because ROMs used to be your non-volatile memory so some people called flash memory, flash ROM when it came out. Essentially it is a continuation of the idea of EEPROM which was non volatile memory where device settings where stored that could be reprogrammed by the device but then worked like a conventional ROM.

        Technically ROM is wrong but not that wrong and RAM would be more wrong.

        If you buy a gaming phone and look at gaming reviews and your retail phone performs at 10% more power to get less stable framerates than a review phone it’s pretty scummy imo

    • Caped Baldy on 27/02/2026 - 20:44

      So have you ever owned and used one?

      Or have you been sucked into the fear mongering?

        I wouldn’t mind one if it was cheaper than a s26u, but when a base s26u is $200 cheaper with better software support, camera and screen, I used to think they were better for gaming but apparently they aren’t even better for that

            @viper8548: Did you see they send reviewers cherry picked chips that perform better than retail units?

          In what way is a S26U $200 cheaper than this phone? This phone is US$749 while the S26U base model is US$1,299.

          If you're referring to Australian prices, understand that the promotions and discounts you get are exclusive to Australia. The major markets like US and EU do not get blanket discounts on S26U pre-orders and such. Redmagic doesn't even have an official Australian store, so how could they ever offer a promotion to match?

  • Jaduqimon on 27/02/2026 - 20:22

          • heef on 27/02/2026 - 23:16

            @Bugs: Next year. Most of these you have to register a week or two in advance of the annoucement to get them even though they are free vouchers. Then they have an expiry, so must be used in the preorder window. Edu or Corporate portals always have the best price and combines with most voucher codes. Didn't need Commbank, EDU email addresses got a $50 'O Week' voucher too

    • huang297 on 27/02/2026 - 20:28

      maybe the base version with only 12GB ram and 256gb storage.
      this phone is primarily gaming focused, which is a different market from those that want the s26 ultra

    • krisspy on 27/02/2026 - 20:56

      You can get an S25u and a privacy screen protector for less than an s26u

      • BadAtNames on 27/02/2026 - 21:44

        It's a lot harder to toggle the privacy screen protector

        • krisspy on 28/02/2026 - 10:19
          -1

          It's like you want people to see you're on cornhub but don't want them to see just your password?

          I mean it's one hell of an engineering feat to have directional backlighting, but a selective redactment isn't something very useful… I mean passwords have been hidden as **** for decades. Plus there's gonna be instances where the apps aren't programmed well to tell the phone to hide the log in boxes.

          I'd want to be hiding the keyboard and the actual screen itself so people won't know exactly how much debt I have with sharks. Something a $3 privacy screen does just as good.

          • BadAtNames on 28/02/2026 - 15:46

            @krisspy: Toggle, meaning turn on and off, privacy screens make the visual darker even head on and kill viewing angles (by design). This new tech means you can be private and turn it off when watching a movie or something with your kids on a plane.

            • krisspy on 28/02/2026 - 16:46

              @BadAtNames: The s26 dims aswell when switching to privacy mode. It switches off the regular backlighting and only leaves the narrower backlighting on.

              • BadAtNames on 28/02/2026 - 16:54

                @krisspy: Correct, I never said you get a brighter screen while being private, just that you can toggle it off when you would prefer a brighter screen instead of ripping of the protector

    • posilepton on 27/02/2026 - 22:51

      While true for us, it's not really fair to evaluate a phone based on its currency converted import price vs exclusive massive 30-40% regional discounts. If you could pay RMB and the Chinese version was usable here, it would be significantly cheaper than even the discounted S26U.

      • posilepton on 27/02/2026 - 22:53

        While most Chinese phones are grey import, this one isn't and is sold officially by Redmagic through Amazon. Their global model coverage does cover Australia this time.

        • shxhshzhz on 27/02/2026 - 22:59
          +1

          Does that justify update support shorter than $300 phones?

            -2

            @shxhshzhz: Not really responding to that bit, just the grey market section.

            You should be getting full warranty + first party support, unlike other grey market imports.

            However, this phone is technically priced as a mid-range phone in the global market while being flagship+, so there's a value proposition regardless of the 2.5 years of updates. If you compare RRP, similarly specced phones would be like 50% to 100% more expensive.

              @posilepton: It has a 1 year warranty which is very short for a $1279 phone. It is sold by the seller REDMAGIC Direct on Amazon but there is no official Redmagic website or support contact details for Australia.

    Avoid vodafone with this phone. They will block your phone and forward that block to all other phone providers.

        the 000 thing. Can't guarantee to call 000 over 4G. But they are just lazy to test new phones. Telstra website has compatibility with the phone. I had a terrible week trying to get this sorted after i ported out of vodafone and they reported my phone as "fraud" to other providers. I had to involve the TIO to get it sorted

          I'm not sure it's really fair to call it lazy. Most Chinese phones aren't even officially sold in Australia, and I would think it would be unreasonable for telcos to test all the phones that people could possibly use around the world.

        • xrailgun on 28/02/2026 - 01:10

          It's greed, not laziness. They have calculated that not doing the test brings them more in profits from selling their phones as it statistically discourages enough consumers from trying cheaper imports.

        • aveeno bb on 28/02/2026 - 18:46

          Did you manage to get your phone unblocked?

          • teatea on 28/02/2026 - 22:04

            @aveeno bb: Vodafone no. They won't budge. Telstra yes. I don't have an Optus service, though their website also states this phone is compatible with their network and won't have any issues with the VoLTE 000 calling thing. Just avoid going on any Vodafone network with this phone.

            • User341494 on 01/03/2026 - 14:51

              @teatea: ok so please correct me if im wrong;
              vofafone blocks everything they haven't tested (basically everything outside of au releases). is it a TAC range ban or specific imei?
              optus blocks individual imei of phone imports they haven't tested (they also don't test anything outside of aus models)
              telstra doesn't block anything unless it specifically fails the 000 test

              and the cherry on top is the legislation requires them to share the blocks "for safety" ?

              • aveeno bb on 01/03/2026 - 22:32
                +1

                @User341494: Several cases I saw on whirlpool and Reddit that once Vodafone blocks it, then that particular Sim slot is blocked, which suggests that it's IMEI based. I think it has something to do with the fact that Optus and Vodafone roam onto each other for extended coverage, and follow the similar approach? Anyway, if the TAC is flagged as blocked by either Voda or Optus, best not put the Sim, which may cause that Sim slot becoming unusable with Telstra too.

    What games are people playing that require a dedicated gaming phone? Emulating switch or something?

    • Kazusa on 27/02/2026 - 21:38

      Usually PC/Switch emulation, some older pc games run quite well on android through emulation

    • posilepton on 27/02/2026 - 23:07

      Frames I guess. Most games can be run by most phones, but it's unlikely you can crank them up to 144 fps without top end hardware. As to why? Same reason why people want smooth frames on PC and buy 5090s.
