Redmagic's new 9S Pro phone, launched in China, is poised for an international release on July 16th. This powerful device features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, UFS 4.0, and LPDDR5X RAM, available in four configurations with up to 24GB RAM and 1TB storage.

We've previously reviewed Redmagic's accessories, and a full review of the 9S Pro is forthcoming.

Powerful Hardware, Game Library Question Mark

A potential concern is the 9S Pro's game compatibility. While boasting impressive specs, it remains to be seen which demanding, next-gen titles will be optimized for it. Apple's success with titles like Resident Evil 7 and Assassin's Creed Mirage on its devices sets a high bar. The 9S Pro will likely excel with existing mobile games from developers like MiHoYo, and higher-fidelity titles such as Call of Duty Warzone Mobile. However, at a potential price point around £500, this might not satisfy all gamers.
