Pics will come later, i just got it in the mail and don't have another camera that i can use. This is the initial first looks
I got this case in the red colour and for 11 dollars, quality is quite impressive, this case came with an allen key (which is required to open and close the case ) 2 extra pentalobe type screws, I'm not sure what their called and a micro fiber cloth.
Many people had complained about signal loss and weaker signals with the case on but i have found no difference, with the case off, my wifi speeds are around 40mbps and with the case on are around the same mark, maybe a couple mbps slower but nothing noticeable, speakers are also just as loud, IR range seems to have dropped significantly because of how thick the case is and how narrow the opening for the blaster is.
It is stated that the case is for splashes only, like a light rain or wet handed usage but I'm not ready to throw my baby into a bucket of water :cyclops:
I will add pics later but from my initial reaction it seems like a great case
Pros:
looks bada$$
great quality
no real signal loss or draw backs
feel like i could safely drop it off the CN tower
Cons:
Heavy as hell
takes a long time to take it on and off, and don't strip the screws or your gonna have a fun time (not) trying to get the screw out to free your phone
some accessories may not work due to much larger size
Hi there,
You could do an easy test to check how waterproof it is. If you could place a dry tissue inside case and drop it into sink full of water maybe :silly:
I will wait for some feedback.
looks sweet but i doubt the waterproof ness. earpiece speaker covered with glass? how can you hear? BTW put a dab of anti seize on the screws.
its not fully waterproof since the camera and flash aren't covered but for calling in the rain etc its great i played a 90 minute game of soccer in heavy rain and my phone was on top of my bag and when i was don't it worked like new, i only really use the case when I'm going fishing or biking etc
i own one of these used it a month and bought the trident kraken ams case for the s4 and love it. The alluminum one is just heavy (i know what ur thinking of how heavy can it be but it really is and u will notice when u take it off and see how heavy it is) there is signal loss not alot but there is so if u live somewhere with bad signal dont get it or u wont have a signal at all. the buttons are a little hard to press. I worry the home button will wear away the way the top button lays on it. The back and menu buttons have to be pressed hard since there conductive. It is definately not waterproof more splash proof. Also its hard to hear people your calling it in. Your speaker is also muffled.
Hope this helps any questions I will answer. :fingers-crossed:
Anyone dared to submerge their lovely new shiny phone in water yet?
Edit: Could mods move this to General/discussion please, my bad.
I did, I dropped it in the tub. Only for a couple of seconds though. Running fine no issues.
I am coming from a mate 9 the only thing I see different is the sim card tray has a big rubber seal on it. I guess if they added the same seal on the mate 9 it could qualify for IP68+. I did drop coffee on the mate 9 and the sim tray became almost glued but it kept on humming until I tried to remove it today. It came out but half the sim card seems to have Melted inside the phone.
Good to know, i'm still dubious of any device that has charging port, headphone jack, speaker, microphone and no visible covers.........and being a fisherman it's a bonus knowing that a dip in the lake would still leave the phone working.

havent yet with my new phone but my s7e has seen the water many times even recorded underwater
Took the plunge and tried it myself..........won't be trying it again as it just doesn't feel right submerging the phone!!

I wouldn't make it a habit of purposely using the phone underwater.
Yes, it can take it.
Should you do it, on purpose? Not really.
Just as you don't test a fire extinguisher or even an airbag, it's reassurance in case of accident that your device won't be rendered inoperable.
Water still gets in things even though it doesn't get inside. The headphone jack has internal contacts and these will get contaminated with mineral deposits left behind from being exposed to water. Sea water is far worse as the salt residue that's left behind is highly hygroscopic (meaning it absorbs moisture) so every time the device is in a humid environment those surfaces become wet to the touch and that wetness is both highly corrosive AND conductive. This is why any gear, no matter what its waterproofness rating is, must be rinsed with *fresh* water after use in marine environments.
In short, your device continues to operate but make no mistake about it, you're reducing its useful lifespan with repeated dunks and swims.
I don't intend on giving mine any more dips.....and wouldn't dream of putting it in salt water...........but curiosity got the better of me when i went to the lake to see a couple of mates fishing
same if not better then the s7 edge.
I wash off my s7 edge before because i was working a car and grab te phone and it got dirty.
Also install water screen protector on my s7e , note 7 and s8+ all work fine.

A sensible reply. Ever since the Sony Xperia Z was released I have been debating (arguing like crazy) with peers that these mobiles are NOT waterproof, they have the smallest amount of water resistance. If one reads the manual, and very VERY few owners do, they will realise this water resistance is more of a 'splash resistance' in reality.
Sure Sony had adverts with people making calls while standing in a swimming pool etc BUT soon realised their marketing mistakes. Swimming pool chemicals destroy the protective membranes and cause no end of other problems. I wished all manufactures would simply refer to the mobile as splash resistant.
I have written pages on this very subject. Even though Samsung write that the mobile may be submerged in water to a depth of 1.5M for 30 minutes this is so woefully subjective. Even at surface level immersion in water if you swish the mobile about the force of water induced by movement can and will penetrate the mobiles membranes, its simple lores of science. Sure if one very gently and slowly submerges the mobile to 1.5M for a short period in theory all should be well. WHO is going to do that and why would they?
The IP rating is in reality just saying one can answer the phone with wet hands and make a call in the rain. The mobile device is very VERY far from an underwater camera that is designed for that purpose.
To close, its not truly about depth of water and time but water pressure FWIW. Soap box awayyyyyy:laugh:

Is water pressure not down to the depth of water?
Depth pressure is a static reading.
If you toss the phone into a pool that's 1 meter deep the actual realized pressure, albeit brief, is going to be much higher.
This is why you cannot snorkel with a wristwatch rated at 50 meters. The deeper you want to go the more evident this becomes.
Ryland brings up this point that I left out but is painfully obvious to those familiar with it.
Showering with a device is much different than wearing it on your wrist or hip and walking around even if only submersed under a foot or two of water.
I've seen rainproof electrical enclosures fail and upon inspection find them full of water as if their covers were off during the storm. This happens because heavy rain with no wind and heavy rain with 100mph wind gusts are completely different things. They do make such enclosures that are designed for these conditions and they are much more expensive.
If you really want to play with your devices around the pool including dunking and shooting video underwater, invest in a waterproof case. And even then a few drops of water inside the case won't affect your device. Protection is always better in layers.
Just copied this from W'Pedia. I use watches as an example of how the general public are fooled into believing what is written on the back of ones daily watch, vis:..... Quote........
"Water resistance classification[edit]
Watches are often classified by watch manufacturers by their degree of water resistance which, due to the absence of official classification standards, roughly translates to the following (1 metre ≈ 3.29 feet). These vagueries have since been superseded by ISO 22810:2010, in which "any watch on the market sold as water-resistant must satisfy ISO 22810 – regardless of the brand." [5]
Water resistance rating Suitability Remarks
Water Resistant 3 atm or 30 m Suitable for everyday use. Splash/rain resistant. Not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, snorkelling, water related work and fishing. Not suitable for diving.
Water Resistant 5 atm or 50 m Suitable for swimming, white water rafting, non-snorkeling water related work, and fishing. Not suitable for diving.
Water Resistant 10 atm or 100 m Suitable for recreational surfing, swimming, snorkeling, sailing and water sports. Not suitable for diving.
Water Resistant 20 atm or 200 m Suitable for professional marine activity, serious surface water sports and skin diving. Suitable for skin diving.
Diver's 100 m Minimum ISO standard (ISO 6425) for scuba diving at depths not suitable for saturation diving. Diver's 100 m and 150 m watches are generally old(er) watches.
Diver's 200 m or 300 m Suitable for scuba diving at depths not suitable for saturation diving. Typical ratings for contemporary diver's watches.
Diver's 300+ m for mixed-gas diving Suitable for saturation diving (helium enriched environment). Watches designed for mixed-gas diving will have the DIVER'S WATCH xxx M FOR MIXED-GAS DIVING additional marking to point this out." End quote.
As you can see a wrist watch rated at 30M is ONLY splash-rain proof!!!!!! Though I am not a horologist some of my family have been for generations and the topic of water resistance is very close to my heart after ruing a VERY expensive watch some many years ago in the shower?!

I keep phones on average 3 months. I'm a serial upgrader. Ever since my s6 I've been habitually swimming with my phone's. Never had a issue other than maybe for 24 hours the speaker is miffeled....Now if you plan on actually keeping the phone for longer than the blink of an eye then if baby it. But I jump on demand waaaaaay too often.

Yes BUT. Its an awful lot more complex than that. There is static water pressure ie 1ATM per 10.33M of depth. Remember the surface is already measured at 1ATM . Add force of movement and those figures can go through the roof.
Fill your bath with water and allow your mobile to slowly sink to the bottom, generally no problem BUT if you hold the mobile in your hand and force it through the water even at 1" depth the force becomes another dimension of added pressure.
Our kids splash us with a garden hose and we all laugh. Get hit by a professional fire hose and it will take you for a ride down the street. Yet another example of water pressure.
The above poster says he regularly swims with his mobile. He adds he changes them every three months. Not only will the constant exposure to swimming pool chemicals degenerate the membranes on the mobile but one fine day he will be very surprised to find he has one screwed mobile.
Its a 1k€ device. I respect it for what it is. I also change phones at least 3-4 times a year but when I sell them they are brand new and have not been subjected to misuse. :highfive:

The Nubia Red Magic 3, as we know, has no IP rating - meaning that it is not protected from any amount of dust or water. Independent tests have concluded that small amounts of water such as precipitation or high dampness can damage the screen and audio devices with in the Magic 3. With that said WE NEED PROTECTIVE GEAR, i.e. LifeProof type cases or similar. Something that can be easily removed for gaming sessions where the internal fan ramps up would be ideal!
The warranty policy of the Magic 3 also states that any amount of water damage voids repairs covered by such warranty.
The (Red Magic 3) can be repaired free of charge if there is no customer-induced damage and if it is still within the warranty period... Exposure to moisture or dampness, exposure to excessive temperature (voids warranty)

So - any case owners out there? Screen protectors? I'm hoping we can narrow it down to the best in time!

Are you sure?I've seen it listed as IP55 on several reviews.
As for protective cases,you can check here to see if there's something to your taste :
https://www.nubiamart.com/nubia-red-magic-3-cover-case.html
Just a heads-up,this case :
https://www.nubiamart.com/double-si...ss-back-cover-case-for-nubia-red-magic-3.html
should be great,if it wouldn't block the proximity sensor......
A solution is to drill a small hole in it where the sensor is behind the glass,but you have to use a special glass drill,as the front is tempered glass.
Which I didn't know ,so the screen on mine cracked by using the wrong drill.......
Lol! I bought the E-sport case, I did not know that its just a case and does not support the game pad hahaha
The composition of the materials are: TUP and PC.. The PC part is the one with the kevlar design on the back for protection from hard materials and its inner lining is made from TUP for shock absorption..
I think the reason that they did not include the slider for the game pad is due to insulation problems that will occur during gaming.. That's why they have another case for that, the other one with the most PC composition.
Hi so my old tablet is going crazy can anyone help me fix it I have attached a video I think the lcd has gone bad or my gpu is malfunctioning
Was it dropped, exposed to water or prolonged high temperatures?
The cam shake and overhead fan was far more annoying than the display
Nah I just left it suffocating inside my cupboard with my clothes for 6 Years

I just left it in my clothes for 6 years inside my cupboard and for high temperatures is 40 Celsius for 360 hours per year for 3 years fine to kill
The lcd
That's not high enough to harm a LCD.
Exposure to solvents will poison a LCD though, they aren't sealed airtight.
Obviously it didn't age well though.
Try leaving it run for a while. Do not leave in direct sunlight as that can fry them.
Hello to all,
I use my phone in a booklet phone case.
When I use the phone inside my car with Android Auto wireless I noticed that it gets really hot. I checked the battery temperature.
Especially as it is summer now, the ambient temperatures are higher than a couple of months ago.
I now have on a regular base 37-38°C battery temperature (read by Accubattery app).
At 39°+ I noticed that the phone slows down (in order to prevent heat damage).
Therefore I wonder if a head transfer tape could improve heat dissipation. I'm thinking of a tape like on GPUs in computer hardware.
I found something on Aliexpress:

My idea is to put the tape between the back cover and phone case to improve heat transfer.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Do you think that this could lead to lower battery temperatures?
Thank you very much.

It depends on the material that your case is made of. Using some kind of thermal absorbing material between the phone and the case might extract the heat from the device but if your case doesn't dissipate the heat absorbed by the thermal material, the heat will just be trapped between the back cover and your case, which isnt really an improvement.
Try a different case or no case.
The phone stays in a silicone case which is glued to the booklet made of PU.
PU does not have a good thermal conductivity. Perhaps I could add some holes so that the heat dissipation tape gets ambient air.

Maybe a small portable cooling pad like used with small laptops would help or a small 12v fan that plugs into a 12v outlet in your car.
I already thought about a fan.
I ordered an ESR wireless charger with Cryoboost (cooling fan) to check if charging would be possible with fan.
