The Red Magic 9S Pro<\/a> claims to hold the AnTuTu score record \u2013 gamers do love their benchmarks. But do they love the 9S Pro? How about you? There is also the Red Magic 9S Pro+<\/a> with a different battery\/charger setup and different memory configuration.<\/p>\n

The Red Magic 9S Pro is going global on July 16, you can have a look at the official site<\/a>. We only have the prices for China now, but for comparison, the Red Magic 9 Pro that it replaces starts at a very reasonable \u20ac650 for a 12\/256GB model.<\/p>\n

The 9 and 9S aren\u2019t that different. The S-phones use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version, which has a 3.4GHz prime CPU core and a 1GHz GPU. Impressive numbers, but they are a small overclock over the 8 Gen 3 chip used in the 9-series.<\/p>\n

However, the Red Magics have active cooling, which with the help of the redesigned ICE 13.5 system, promises to keep the chipset 19.5\u00b0C cooler (1.5\u00b0C better than the 9-series cooling system).<\/p>\n

Below are the Chinese prices for the Red Magic 9S Pro and 9S Pro+. We should mention the battery too. Like their predecessors, the Pro has a larger 6,500mAh battery that is nevertheless quick to charge at 80W \u2013 100% in 35 minutes. The Pro+ goes even faster \u2013 100% in 16 minutes \u2013 but sacrifices capacity (5,500mAh) for increased charge rate (165W).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n

The Red Magic 9S Pro and Pro+ are gaming phones and their designs leave no room for questions. But that doesn\u2019t mean they can\u2019t be used as regular phones and they have some characteristics that you may find appealing. The price, for starters, is quite competitive for a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 device.<\/p>\n

Also, the 6.8\u201d OLED display is a flat rectangle \u2013 no rounded corners, no punch holes (the 16MP camera is under the display). There is a 50MP main + 50MP ultra wide camera setup on the back, which sits flush, no camera bumps here. The 6,500mAh battery in a phone that is 8.9mm thick and weighs 229g deserves a mention too.<\/p>\n

There is no water resistance due to the fan cooler, but wouldn\u2019t you prefer to have the performance you paid for instead of a thermal-throttled version of it \u2013 when is the last time you spilled water on your phone, anyway?<\/p>\n

There is one final question before we get to the polls. The Red Magic 10 is almost certainly only a few months away and it will bring an actively-cooled Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (most likely). Wouldn\u2019t you rather wait for that?<\/p>\n

So, would you buy the Red Magic 9S Pro and, if yes, how will you use it \u2013 for gaming or as a jack of all trades? Again, the 9S Pro is going global two weeks from now.<\/p>\n
