First up, is the phone. Compared to the Redmagic 9 Pro, the 9S Pro brings new updates to its system and introduces a new design aesthetic for the brand, featuring a completely flat back panel with no camera bump.
At the heart of the 9S Pro is the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset paired with up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. To boost its gaming performance, the 9S Pro is equipped with a dedicated Red Core 2 Pro chip that will help to reduce CPU and GPU power consumption.
This combination has allowed the device to reportedly achieve an AnTuTu benchmark score of 23,669,542, which is the highest ever recorded for an Android device.
To keep the phone cool, Redmagic has implemented its latest ICE 13.5 cooling system. This includes an 11-layer heat management array with a single 10,182mm² single-layer vapour chamber (VC) plate, a 4dB-quiet turbofan with 22,000RPM ultra-thin blades, and a relocation of the rear cameras to allow for better airflow into the air ducts.
Additionally, Redmagic has also added a new “frosting cooling gel” that claims to lower CPU temperatures by up to 19.5°C during extended gaming sessions.

Similar to the Redmagic 9 Pro, the 9S Pro features a 6.8-inch BOE Q9+ flat screen (AMOLED) with a 2,480 x 1,116 pixels resolution (FHD+). The display has a peak brightness of 1,600 nits, a refresh rate of 120Hz, and a touch sampling rate of up to 960Hz. The display is also rated with 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
In terms of camera, the 9S pro has the same 16-MP under-display front-facing camera, allowing for an uninterrupted full-screen experience. On the back, the phone has kept the same 50MP main shooter (Samsung GN5 sensor) along with the 50MP ultra-wide camera, and the 2MP macro camera.
To power the phone, the Redmagic 9S Pro uses a large 6,500 mAh dual-cell battery which Redmagic claims can last up to 56 hours on a single charge. The 9S Pro will support 80W fast charge.
Like its predecessor, the phone will have dual 1115K speakers, DTS:X Ultra support, and an optical in-display fingerprint scanner.
In terms of gaming-specific features, the 9S Pro includes 520Hz shoulder triggers with customisable RGB lighting. The device will also have new gaming features and AI features powered by the latest Redmagic 9.5 OS, which is a reskinned version of Android 14.
Some new gaming and AI features include the smart navigator game feature which offers real-time recommendations on popular-game-related topics, and the capability to use voice-to-text input for rapid inquiries. There will also be an integration of an AI trigger which allows for the tailoring of trigger conditions according to the user’s gaming habits.
Other AI capabilities include AI Image enlargement, wallpapers, a writing assistant, content recommendations, and a voice assistant. The full list of specifications of the phone will be available on the Redmagic website here.
