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-performance device packs impressive features, including the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, UFS 4.0 storage, and LPDDR5X RAM. It's available in four configurations, topping out at 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.

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

Powerhouse Potential, Game Library Considerations

The 9S Pro's impressive specs raise a key question: will the available mobile game library fully utilize its capabilities? While Apple devices boast recent next-gen titles like Resident Evil 7 and Assassin's Creed Mirage, the Redmagic 9S Pro will likely focus on existing mobile games, such as MiHoYo's catalog and high-fidelity titles like Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. Considering a potential price point comparable to the 9 Pro (around £500), this might not justify the cost for all gamers.
