I’ve personally observed the development of Redmagic phones, and I must admit that none have left me as impressed as the Redmagic 10S Pro. Today, we will delve deeper into this standout device, as our focus is on a comprehensive review of the Redmagic 10S Pro. Let’s dive in and find out what makes it so intriguing!
We’ve had the chance to observe both the Redmagic 10 Air and the Redmagic 10 Pro, but there’s been an unexpected twist – a Redmagic 10S Pro. What sets this model apart from the 10 Pro, and what unique features does it offer?
Redmagic 10S Pro specs
As I usually like to start, here are the specs for this beast of a phone:
- Performance: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version, paired with LPDDR5T RAM and UFS 4.1 Pro storage
- Display: 6.85″ full screen, 144Hz refresh rate, 1.5K resolution
- Battery: 7,050 mAh battery, 80W fast charging
- Cooling: 2nd Gen Liquid Metal cooling targets the GPU area, providing an additional 3.6°C drop compared to the previous model
- Design: Matte metal frame with anti-glare etched glass, glass back, RGB lighting
- AI integration: Real-time voice translation, AI photo editing
- Other: 520Hz shoulder triggers, X-Gravity, RGB lighting, ICE-X cooling with Liquid Metal 2.0, a giant vapour chamber, and a 23,000 RPM fan
Redmagic 10S Pro vs Redmagic 10 Pro
The two are fairly similar, and since there is no visible difference, it got me thinking – how different are they, actually? So I started putting both to the test, since it tickled my curiosity. That’s when I realised that while the exterior is virtually the same (size, weight, display-to-body ratio), the inside is where all the differences lie.
Stronger CPU, better gaming!
The CPU on the 10S Pro is an Octa Core 2×4.47 GHz, while on the 10 Pro it’s an Octa Core 2×4.32 GHz. What that means is the 10S Pro has a lot more computing power than its predecessor. That allows for newer games (with smoother graphics, like Crystal of Atlan, for instance) to run smoothly, without any issues whatsoever. I personally haven’t run into a single issue, no matter how much multitasking I put it through.
Multitasking at its finest
One of the main things I did was to change my “main phone”,
finally
, from the old ROG Phone 6D Ultimate to the Redmagic 10S Pro. I can’t say I am disappointed. Quite the contrary, I am so happy I did that.
The Redmagic 10S Pro allows multitasking like a pro, enabling you to play your game simultaneously with background music, all while swiftly switching between up to five other windows without a hint of delay. This remarkable device is perfect for those who juggle multiple tasks in their busy lives, making it the ultimate gaming phone!
Beautiful, sleek design enhanced by the RGB lighting
I’ve always loved the simple yet beautiful design of the Redmagic phones – and not only the phones, but the tablets as well. There is a little
je ne sais quoi
that stands out and turns heads. For the Redmagic 10S Pro, the design looks exactly like the 10 Pro’s.
It would have been great to add a unique touch to enhance its distinctiveness, yet I can’t express feelings of utter dissatisfaction. Given the quality of the initial design, there seems little reason to alter what already functions well, doesn’t it?
Having a completely flat glass back minimizes the risk of accidentally scratching or breaking your camera lenses, and the added feature of fully lit RGB logos and a cooling fan is an enjoyable bonus.
These features give the phone a gaming aesthetic, but if you prefer a simpler, daily-use appearance, you can turn them off completely. However, I suggest keeping them activated as they significantly enhance the phone’s overall look.
Highly responsive in games
I briefly touched on this before, but I have to point it out again. The gaming performance of the Redmagic 10S Pro is just off the charts. I have tried several games, from Tetris to Asphalt 9: Legends, PUBG, Genshin Impact and Crystal of Atlan, and the performance didn’t flinch. Of course, the graphics in all those games are on Ultra (or the highest ones available).
The shoulder triggers are all you could ask for
Since I do play shooters from time to time (and I am in no way, shape or form good at them), I like having the shoulder trigger buttons for some additional help, just like you would with any controller.
On this device, you have the freedom to personalize and configure settings as per your preference, and what’s more, you can even fine-tune the sensitivity level. This feature proves particularly useful in shooting games, as it helps keep your fingers off the screen. I strongly advise tailoring these settings based on your gaming style!
They’re highly responsive, too, so you need to play a few practice games to get them just right.
Pro back camera
The back camera on the Redmagic 10 Pro is one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of playing around with. I’ve tried the custom AI filters for the sky (Milky Way, Northern Lights, etc), and they are so much fun! The quality of the pictures is also top-tier, regardless of whether you have shaky hands or not. It has an auto image stabiliser, which is a huge feature for those like me who can’t seem to hold their hands steady to take a picture.
Still not thrilled about the front camera
The one drawback I would say is the front camera. I wasn’t thrilled when I tried taking a few selfies, but that didn’t deter me. It’s true – taking selfies is not that great, but the rest of the features more than make up for it.
It’s not easy finding phone cases for it!
One of the issues (if you could even call it that) I had with the device is the ease of finding phone cases for it. It’s really difficult, if not impossible, to find a compatible phone case. The phone does come with a case, which is sturdy and looks nice, but if you want something a little different, you’ll probably have to do quite a bit of digging to find some compatible ones online.
Frankly speaking, there isn’t much to criticize when it comes to the Redmagic 10S Pro. This phone functions exceptionally well as an everyday device and truly shines as a gaming phone. It boasts impressive power, has a battery life that lasts for at least two days with heavy usage, and never succumbs to overheating issues.
With summer upon us, you need not worry about your device requesting breaks or requiring icing due to overheating, as its internal cooling system works wonderfully to keep it comfortably cool. This has always been a non-issue.
You can purchase the Redmagic 10S Pro from the official website!
