The Red Magic 9 Pro is set to launch on November 23, and it promises to be a game-changer in the world of gaming smartphones. One of the standout features of this flagship device is its use of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, making it one of the first smartphones to feature this powerful processor. Currently, only the Xiaomi 14 series and iQOO 12 series have this chip, and they have already showcased impressive performance on AnTuTu, scoring nearly 2 million points. However, the Red Magic 9 Pro is expected to outperform its counterparts when it comes to sustaining its performance during gaming sessions.
Design & Display
Red Magic recently revealed the design and color options for the upcoming Red Magic 9 Pro. The brand has made some changes to the design, with the camera setup now located on the left side of the device. The camera has a flat design, which means it doesn't protrude from the phone's body. The smartphone is also said to be quite slim, measuring only 8.9mm, which is relatively slim for a gaming phone.
The Red Magic 9 Pro features flat edges and buttons, giving it a sleek and modern look. It will also come with a unique RGB light that offers a custom RGB fan lighting effect, as well as new RGB gaming shoulder keys for enhanced gaming operations. The phone will be available in three colors: Deuterium Transparent Silver Wings, Deuterium Transparent Dark Night, and Dark Night Knight. The Transparent Silver Wings and Deuterium Transparent Dark Night options have transparent backs, allowing users to catch a glimpse of the phone's internal components.
On the front, the Red Magic 9 Pro will sport a flat, full-screen display without any cutouts for a front camera. This is because the device will utilize an under-display camera technology. The display is expected to measure 6.8 inches and offer a resolution of 2480 x 1116 pixels. It will be an OLED panel with a refresh rate of 120Hz, ensuring smooth and immersive gaming visuals.
Specs
The Red Magic 9 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, paired with up to 24GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. It will feature a 10,182mm² vapor chamber, which claims to reduce the heat generated by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip by up to 25°C. This cooling system has helped the phone achieve an impressive score of 2,290,773 points on AnTuTu. In games like Genshin Impact, the device can maintain an average of 60 FPS at 720P resolution. What's even more impressive is that the Red Magic 9 Pro consumes less power compared to the iQOO 12 Pro and Xiaomi 14 Pro, while outperforming them in terms of overall performance.
The device will also come with Red Magic's self-developed game chip, the Red Core R2 Pro. This chip will focus on enhancing the gaming experience through features like haptic feedback, audio, and touch-sampling rate. The smartphone will also feature X Gravity 2.0 software, which allows for seamless mapping of external devices like controllers or keyboards and mice to on-screen controls. Additionally, the Red Magic 9 Pro will launch with REDMAGIC OS 9.0, based on Android 14, promising a smoother and more polished user experience compared to its predecessor, REDMAGIC OS 8.
The haptic motors on the Red Magic 9 Pro are larger this time, providing 30% stronger vibration compared to its predecessor. The device will also feature a dual stereo speaker system to ensure an immersive audio experience. Furthermore, it will be equipped with a 3.5mm audio jack for low-latency wired audio. The shoulder buttons on the phone will have a 90% larger area with 520Hz touch sampling and new lighting effects. The battery capacity will be increased to 6,500mAh, compared to 6,000mAh on its predecessor, and it will support fast charging up to 165W. Red Magic claims that the device can be fully charged in just 16 minutes, which is great news for gamers who don't want to be interrupted by long charging times.
Camera
While Red Magic phones are not typically known for their camera prowess, there are rumors suggesting that the Red Magic 9 Pro will feature a 50-megapixel Samsung GN5 primary sensor on the rear with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). It is also expected to come with a 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 ultra-wide-angle lens. These sensors have proven their capabilities in various flagship devices, raising expectations for the Red Magic 9 Pro to capture impressive and visually appealing photos.
In conclusion, the Red Magic 9 Pro is shaping up to be an exciting gaming smartphone with its powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, impressive gaming performance, and sleek design. With its innovative features and enhancements focused on the gaming experience, it is sure to attract gamers who are looking for a device that can handle their gaming needs. The Red Magic 9 Pro will be a force to be reckoned with in the gaming smartphone market.
