Red Magic 8S Pro: A super-powered smartphone for gaming enthusiasts

The Red Magic 8S Pro follows on from the success of the Red Magic 8 Pro, with a host of improvements thanks to the latest Qualcomm technology and an advanced cooling system. This phone is designed to deliver exceptional gaming performance while providing a smooth and enjoyable user experience. Let’s take a look at the features, strengths and weaknesses of this technological gem.

Top performance thanks to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2

The Red Magic 8S Pro is equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 chipset, offering cutting-edge performance. This enhanced version offers a main processor clock rate of 3.36 GHz (up from 3.2 GHz for the previous model) and a GPU clock rate of 719 MHz (up from 680 MHz). These improvements give the phone a 5% increase in processing power and 5.7% better GPU performance than its predecessor.

Customisable configuration

The Red Magic 8S Pro offers a range of configurations to suit individual needs. You can choose between different amounts of LPDDR5X RAM, up to 12GB, and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. What’s more, there’s a Pro+ model offering double the storage capacity and RAM. This flexibility allows users to tailor their experience to their gaming and storage needs.

An advanced cooling system

To maintain optimum performance during intense gaming sessions, the Red Magic 8S Pro features the improved ICE 12 cooling system. Compared to the ICE 11 used in the previous model, this new system incorporates a 5W/mK thermal paste and improves the air duct used by the 20K RPM fan. In addition, each variant of the phone is equipped with RGB lighting on the fan, adding an aesthetic and immersive touch to the gaming experience.

An elegant and robust design

The Red Magic 8S Pro retains the aircraft-grade aluminium frame and front glass of its predecessor, offering exceptional strength and durability. The back material varies according to the variant chosen, which also determines the amount of RAM and storage available. Whichever variant you choose, the phone boasts an attractive, modern design that will appeal to technology enthusiasts.

Highlights:

  • Exceptional gaming performance thanks to Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2
  • Customisable configuration with up to 12 GB RAM and 512 GB storage
  • Enhanced ICE 12 cooling system for extended gaming sessions without overheating
  • Stylish and robust design, with RGB lighting on the fan for an immersive gaming experience

Weaknesses:

  • The Red Magic 8S Pro may not be widely available in all markets, which may limit its accessibility.
  • The screen size may not suit some users who prefer more compact phones.

Red Magic 8S Pro price and availability

The Red Magic 8S Pro is available to pre-order today and goes on sale on the 11th (next Tuesday). The base model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage starts at CNY4,000 ($550/€510/45,500 ₹). There’s also an Aurora variant with a transparent back, but it’s only available in two memory configurations and is slightly more expensive than the other two colours.

The Red Magic 8S Pro is a powerful mobile phone designed specifically for gaming enthusiasts. Thanks to its Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 processor, improved cooling system and customisable configurations, it offers an immersive and fluid gaming experience. Despite a few minor weak points, this smartphone will delight users looking for a high-performance device for their favourite games.

As a web editor specialising in IT, my passion for computing and digital technology began at a young age and has developed through my academic career in Systems and Networks. I’m also involved in other areas such as software engineering, IOT, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and, above all, the audiovisual sector, where I’ve been working as a freelance graphic designer and video editor for a number of years. Outside my studies and work, I’m also interested in photography and learning about Chinese culture, which allows me to explore new horizons. My aim is to contribute to innovative projects that solve complex problems and improve everyday life. I’m always looking for new skills to learn and knowledge to share with others.
