RedMagic launches 9S Pro gaming smartphone in China, international version on the way soon

Redmagic's 9S Pro: A Powerful New Mobile Gaming Phone

Redmagic has unveiled its latest smartphone, the 9S Pro, in China, with an international launch slated for July 16th. This high-powered device features impressive specifications, including the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, UFS 4.0 storage, and LPDDR5X RAM. It's available in four configurations, topping out at a substantial 24GB RAM and 1TB storage.

We've previously reviewed several Redmagic products, and a comprehensive review of the 9S Pro is forthcoming.

Performance Potential vs. Game Availability:

A key question surrounding the 9S Pro is game compatibility. While its powerful hardware promises exceptional performance, the availability of demanding, next-generation mobile games remains a factor. Competitors like Apple have already secured titles such as Resident Evil 7 and Assassin's Creed Mirage. The Redmagic 9S Pro will likely excel with existing mobile games, including those from MiHoYo and higher-fidelity titles like Call of Duty Warzone Mobile. However, at a potential price point around £500, this might not fully justify the cost for all gamers.
