Are you searching for the ultimate gaming phone that delivers top-tier performance without the steep pro price tag? The Redmagic 10S Pro might be exactly what you need. Following its traditional six-month cycle, Redmagic has updated its 10 Series, packing the 10S Pro with significant upgrades in crucial areas while maintaining a familiar, purpose-built design for dedicated mobile gamers.
🚀 Unpacking the Performance & Cooling Upgrades
Under the hood, the Redmagic 10S Pro reveals its most significant upgrades. It’s powered by the latest 4.47GHz Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version processor, which is essentially an overclocked version of the chip in the 10 Pro. This is paired with an upgraded RedCore R3 Pro AI gaming chip, promising a 30% power boost. To handle the heat, Redmagic has refined its liquid metal cooling system, placing it directly over the CPU for more effective temperature management during intense gaming sessions. Benchmark tests reflect these gains, with a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 9,916, putting it in the same league as top competitors.
🎮 Design and Display Built for Gamers
If you’ve used a Redmagic phone before, the 10S Pro will feel immediately familiar with its solid, premium-feeling aluminum chassis. It retains key gaming-centric features like the twin 520Hz touch-sensitive shoulder controls and the signature red Magic Key for quick access to the Game Space software. The front is dominated by a gorgeous 6.85-inch BOE AMOLED panel with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, perfect for fluid gameplay. A huge plus is the under-display selfie camera, which means no distracting notches or punch-holes to spoil your view.
🔋 Battery and Camera: What You Need to Know
A gaming phone needs a battery that can keep up, and the 10S Pro delivers with a massive 7,050mAh battery that provides all-day power. Even with heavy gaming, you can expect five to six hours of action. When you do need to top up, the included 80-watt charger is incredibly fast, taking the phone from empty to full in just under 40 minutes. While cameras are rarely the focus of a gaming phone, the 10S Pro is equipped with a capable 50MP main camera and a 50MP ultrawide lens. However, the under-display selfie camera’s quality is described as ‘pretty terrible’, a trade-off made for an uninterrupted, full-screen experience.
