The 10S Pro fixes Redmagic’s heat issues – stays comfortable even under charging + navigation and during long gaming sessions. Built purely for gaming: 144 Hz AMOLED, Snapdragon 8 Elite, and shoulder triggers make it feel closer to a handheld console than a phone.
144 Hz AMOLED, Snapdragon 8 Elite, and shoulder triggers make it feel closer to a handheld console than a phone. Battery champ + fast top-ups: 7,050 mAh delivers 1–2 days of use, 80W charging goes 0–100% in under ~40 minutes.
7,050 mAh delivers 1–2 days of use, 80W charging goes 0–100% in under ~40 minutes. Great value, clear trade-offs: Starts around $649 (far cheaper than ROG Phone 9 Pro) but you accept weak selfies, middling long-term software support, bulk, no wireless charging, and only IP54.
The Redmagic 10S Pro doesn’t try to look ordinary. It’s designed for gamers and proudly displays that, with a large flat screen, shoulder triggers, RGB lighting, and fan vents that resemble features on a mini console.
The build is sturdy, featuring a metal frame and either a glass or transparent back, depending on the version.
Under the hood, it features high-end components: a Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version chip, a 7050 mAh battery, and 80W wired charging.
Cooling is managed by Redmagic’s most advanced system yet, featuring liquid metal, copper, and graphene layers, a vapor chamber, and a 23K RPM fan.
