After coming out in China late last month, this Android gaming smartphone is finally heading to Malaysia.
Distinguishing themselves from many other Android phones, the RedMagic 9 Pro boasts a flat back and a full-screen display, eliminating the need for a rear camera bump and a front camera cutout on the screen. The camera configuration is shielded by a specialised glass layer that doesn’t impede light entering the sensors.
The gaming phone is available in three colour options: Sleet, Cyclone, and Snowfall.
The RedMagic 9 Pro is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, coupled with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS4.0 storage.
Noteworthy cooling features include a 10,182mm² vapor chamber, a new alloy fan with a waterfall air duct, and the CUBE energy engine, claiming to reduce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip’s heat by up to 25°C.
RedMagic claims the phones can effortlessly maintain 60FPS in Genshin Impact for a continuous 60 minutes.
The phone incorporates RedMagic’s proprietary gaming chip, the Red Core R2 Pro, aimed at enhancing gaming experiences through improved haptic feedback, audio quality, and touch-sampling rate.
The phone also sports a 6.8-inch 2480 x 1116 resolution full-screen AMOLED display, achieving an impressive 93.7% screen-to-body ratio.
The display features a 120Hz refresh rate, 2160Hz ultra-high frequency PWM dimming + DC dimming, a 960Hz multi-finger touch sampling rate, a peak brightness of 1,600nit and covers the DCI-P3 colour gamut, and supports HDR10+.
Additionally, the phone incorporates an under-display camera concealed with BOE’s under-screen Q9+ luminescent material.
In terms of photography, the primary camera is a 50MP Samsung GN5 with OIS, complemented by a 50MP JN1 ultra-wide sensor and a 2MP macro lens.
The 9 Pro is equipped with a robust 6,500mAh battery paired with 80W fast charging, providing a full charge in just 35 minutes. The phone is using the USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port.
Additional features include 520Hz touch shoulder buttons for gaming, Magic Sound stereo dual speakers, three built-in microphones, Wi-Fi 7, an IR remote control, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and NFC functionality.
