Red Magic 10S Pro Review: Dual Chips, Full-Screen, Cross-Platform Power

While mainstream flagship smartphones are increasingly powerful and capable of running demanding games smoothly, dedicated gaming phones still offer irreplaceable value. They are purpose-built to solve core pain points for gamers: stable frame rates under sustained load, effective thermal management for comfort, physical shoulder triggers for enhanced control, and large batteries with fast charging to eliminate power anxiety. These targeted optimizations make gaming phones the preferred choice of hardcore players—they’re not just "spec monsters," but truly professional gear designed for gamers.

Performance and Cooling: Dual-Chip Powerhouse That Keeps Its Cool

The Red Magic 10S Pro is powered by a custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Leading Edition, with its prime CPU core clocked at 4.47GHz and GPU running at 1200MHz—over 10% faster than standard flagship chips. This is paired with Red Magic’s in-house Red Core R3 Pro gaming chip, working in tandem to enable “simultaneous high resolution and high frame rate.” In games like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, users can run 2K resolution, 120 FPS, and ray tracing all at once. It scores over 3.46 million on AnTuTu, topping Android benchmarks.

To manage the heat from this dual-chip setup, Red Magic pioneered Liquid Metal 2.0 direct-contact cooling, placing composite liquid metal directly on the CPU heat source—boosting thermal conductivity by 30% over traditional vapor chambers. Dual centrifugal fans spin at up to 23,000 RPM, working with a massive 3D Ice Step VC to reduce core temperatures by 23°C. Even after 60 minutes of maxed-out Honkai: Star Rail, frame rates remain perfectly stable.

Display and Controls: Full-Screen Immersion, Shoulder Trigger Domination

The display is key to immersion. The Red Magic 10S Pro uses sixth-gen under-display camera tech to create a truly uninterrupted 6.85" "Wukong Full-Screen" with a 95.3% screen-to-body ratio. This custom BOE OLED panel supports 1.5K resolution, 144Hz adaptive refresh rate, 2500Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, and 2000 nits peak brightness. The Star Shield eye protection tech reduces visual fatigue by 18% through dynamic dimming algorithms.

On the physical control side, it outclasses standard smartphones with dual 520Hz IC shoulder triggers, offering millisecond-level response and 960Hz sampling via the MagicTouch 2.0 algorithm. These can be mapped for over 200 games, like PUBG Mobile, enabling precise actions like quick-scoping and dodging. Dual X-axis linear motors add immersive 4D haptics—like vibrating feedback for special abilities in the Wuthering Waves edition.

Battery and Fast Charging: Massive 7050mAh Cell, Cool Charging While Playing

Battery anxiety? Not here. The Red Magic 10S Pro packs a 7050mAh second-gen “Ox King” silicon-carbon battery, offering 15% higher energy density. It delivers up to 10 hours of heavy gaming—far surpassing typical 5000mAh flagships. Paired with 80W Magic Flash Charging, it fully recharges in 40 minutes. More impressively, the device supports full-scene bypass charging, supplying power directly to the motherboard while plugged in, bypassing the battery. While charging during games like Honor of Kings, device temps drop by 5°C and battery lifespan extends by 30%—solving the heat-and-battery-wear issues of plugged-in gaming.

Cross-Platform Gaming Revolution: Phone-to-PC in Seconds, Play AAA Titles Smoothly

The Red Magic 10S Pro features an in-house PC game engine, supporting cross-platform game translation. It allows seamless connection to keyboards, mice, and controllers for PC titles like Black Myth: Wukong and Elden Ring. In testing, Shadow of the Tomb Raider ran at a stable 90 FPS with just 15ms latency. The USB 3.2 Gen2 port supports 8K 60Hz lossless video output, and with dual-channel WiFi 6 + 5G, screen casting and streaming stay ultra-smooth. This phone truly bridges mobile and PC gaming—it’s a handheld game console in disguise.

Software and Ecosystem: AI Game Assistant + Exclusive Collaborative Editions

On the software side, REDMAGIC OS 10.5 integrates the intelligent assistant MORA 2.0, offering in-game AI voice translation, tactical advice (like “enemy flanking” alerts), and voice commands like “reload” or “use ultimate.”

Red Magic also collaborated with the hit game Wuthering Waves to release a limited edition bundle. The design features crimson accents inspired by the character “Tsubaki,” with particle energy patterns and a custom UI. It’s fully optimized for 90Hz gaming, delivering an immersive fandom experience inside and out.

A Professional Tool Built for Extreme Gamers

With its dual-chip engine, full-screen display, and cross-platform gaming ecosystem, the Red Magic 10S Pro redefines what a gaming phone can be. It’s not a luxury toy overloaded with specs—it’s a hardcore tool that solves core issues like frame drops, thermal throttling, and input lag.

If you’re after extended full-frame gameplay, seamless multi-platform transitions, and physical trigger control, this phone deserves a spot in your arsenal. But if you’re a casual gamer, a standard flagship may serve you better. Know what you need, and you’ll choose the right weapon for your battlefield.
