Well it was easy, phone off , installed the sim card and poof service for about 2 hours and then I had to keep toggling the airplane mode.

Anyways, I m sure you know this part of Verizon. There are many variations of it. But network settings App. All pretty much show the same menu. But LTE only is what you select. And you will constantly have to go back into it and enable the data. The menu looks like this hopefully I can post it but choose LTE only.

However, in AITuTu, which is specifically an image recognition and classification benchmark for AI and machine learning workloads, we see a different picture. 1 and Metal API-based benchmark that employs more advanced rendering techniques, like volumetric lighting, particle illumination, multiple render targets, instanced rendering, uniform buffers and transform feedback.

Once you have done this, you will be able to use the Red Magic 8 Pro just like any other Verizon compatible smartphone.

Any chance of being Verizon compatible?

I know generally that most unlocked Chineese phones are not Verizon compatible. But, both the OnePlus 6t and 7 pro are even though they are LTE only so I figured there may be a possibility and was curious if anyone actually attempted it.

This seems like the best phone on the market right now, it's almost $200 cheaper than the next snapdragon 855 phone in the US.

Works great on AT&T Prepaid Unlimited, typically for CDMA carriers you need to buy they're approved phones.

I'm actually on Verizon unlimited and had the same questions for them.
I installed my sim card from my previous phone LG v20. And it seems it's using the provisioning from it. All the network info was there. But couldn't seem to get data. So I used shortcut master lite and went to the telephoney part of network settings and had to play with the network settings. Got it to work really well by downloading a network settings app and playing with the band info. It's pretty straight forward and easy to use.

By the way Verizon has no idea what kind of phone I have and it says it's rooted. But it's not. Cloud works great, my Verizon, message+ and anything I throw at it from the Verizon apps. Tech support said that as long as im using my existing sim and have done whatever I did to make it work. Keep doing it. But they have no idea if they are going to setup services and get the info anytime soon.

So I got just what I always wanted.

A nice phone that they can't track or get into it unless I allow them. Perfect

This phone works fine on Verizon, I currently have both the phone and Verizon service. VOLTE works and everything, just no wifi calling

Wow! You all are using the North American Nubia Red Magic 3?

I'm usually on T-Mobile most of the year but during the summer I need Verizon where I go so I didn't consider the RM3. I usually use total wireless or StraightTalk and I've had good luck with slapping their SIM cards into different phones without an issue.

So if you all can tell me the tricks, if any, and which model (US or international) I'll pick one up — sub $500 for S855 and big AMOLED screen!

And what about band 13 on Verizon? Isn't that the main band for them?

No band 13, but Verizon also uses bands 4 and 5 which this phone supports. I actually believe band 4 is their main band. I didn't have to do anything but put my SIM card in. Although in the past when I had a OnePlus 6T, I had Verizon provision my line to be LTE only. Don't know if that step is needed for this phone, as it supports CDMA. I'm using the North American version bought directly from Red Magic.

Thanks for the info. Band 13 (700MHz) is Verizon's main band due to its penetration and distance, according to online info, but you are also correct — 2, 4, along with 5 and 66 all work on Verizon. If they put 71 and 13 in this thing it would have everything. So I should be able to get something in most areas.

Good to know I just need to put the SIM in. I can always activate on my old Moto X Pure.

Please oh knowledgeable one, bestow upon me the settings you used to get the phone to work on Verizon. I popped my SIM in to the phone when i first got it and ZERO issues for weeks. Then recently all the sudden I no longer had any service whatsoever. No matter how much I tried to play with the settings, nothing seems to work. What appp did you use for the network settings to play with the band info? Really don't want to change carriers right now.

Please and thanks in advance :silly:

So it basically doesn't work because you have to jump through hoops to make it kinda work?
I remember when I sold my Pixel XL, the guy was able to use it right away on Verizon with his sim card.
Did Verizon add more measures to keep people away with unauthorized phones?

Well all I really know is that they say that they just don't have any info about the phone. It has all the bands that work. Except band 13. I haven't rooted it because there still isn't a functional root for it. That setting in the pic I downloaded, theres a switch that says immediate. That's changes to disabled because of the doze function. It's solely for data. I keep mine on lte only. And just have to change it from disabled to immediate. It's kinda a pain in the rear. But. Its a functioning phone on Verizon service that they say doesn't support it. No Verizon apps except cloud and My Verizon. With limited access. It's great as far as I'm concerned. Biggest problem with Verizon. Is Verizon.

But as soon as a functioning root is available and im comfortable I'll root it and enable band 13. I'm pretty sure it's there. Just Verizon won't pay to get the access to the phones. So there's that.

One more thing the OnePlus 7 pro works on Verizon with some GSM function. There support just won't try to do it on the RM3. Other option is you have a second Sim slot. Get you another sim card and that takes care of emergency stuff.

So if you all can tell me the tricks, if any, and which model (US or international) I'll pick one up — sub $500 for S855 and big AMOLED screen!

Reviews for "Enjoy a Seamless Gaming Experience with Red Magic 8 Pro on Verizon"

1. Jessica - 1/5 - I purchased the Red Magic 8 Pro with the hope that it would be compatible with the Verizon network, but I have been sorely disappointed. The phone constantly drops calls and has poor reception, making it almost impossible to have a decent conversation. Additionally, the internet browsing speeds are sluggish and I often lose connection altogether. I regret spending my hard-earned money on a device that does not live up to its claims.

2. Mark - 2/5 - As a Verizon user, I was excited to try out the Red Magic 8 Pro, but it has turned out to be a frustrating experience. The compatibility with the Verizon network is spotty at best, and I often find myself struggling to get a stable signal. The phone also seems to have compatibility issues with certain Verizon features and apps, making it a hassle to use. Overall, I would not recommend this phone to Verizon customers who rely on a dependable and consistent network connection.

3. Emma - 1/5 - Despite the promises of compatibility with the Verizon network, the Red Magic 8 Pro has been a major disappointment. The phone frequently drops calls and has poor signal reception, even in areas where other Verizon devices have no issues. Furthermore, the data connection is incredibly slow, making it difficult to browse the internet or use data-dependent apps. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this phone if you're a Verizon customer.
