REDMAGIC 10S Pro: Worth the Upgrade?


At Droid Gamers, we've extensively covered REDMAGIC devices, having recently reviewed the 10 Air model. These smartphones cater specifically to gamers, with our assessment of the 10 Air highlighting its thoughtful engineering and Nubia's commitment to evolving its gaming smartphone lineup.
The newly announced 10s Pro aims to surpass its 10 Pro predecessor (launched under a year ago) with notable enhancements. What improvements does this refreshed model bring to the table?
Initial Observations
The 10s Pro sports a more refined aesthetic compared to the 10 Pro, featuring an elegant graphite accent trim and a transparent glass back revealing internal components. While maintaining clean lines, the design keeps gaming functions discreet - including subtle game mode activation buttons and neatly positioned controls.
Technical Specifications
The 10s Pro continues REDMAGIC's tradition of packing serious performance hardware into its devices. The expansive 6.85-inch display dominates the front panel, delivering vibrant visuals that make both gaming and multimedia content shine.
While retaining core specs like screen dimensions, audio capability (dual speakers), and battery configuration (7050mAh with 80W GaN charging) from the 10 Pro, the upgrades emerge in processing power. The CPU now reaches 1100 MHz (up from 4.32 GHz) and GPU performance escalates to 1200 MHz (from 4.47 GHz).
Gaming Capabilities
The enhanced internals translate to flawless gaming performance, handling even graphically intensive titles without thermal issues or noticeable fan noise. The substantial battery sustains extended play sessions, while the 3.5mm audio jack facilitates private sound immersion.
Gaming-Centric Enhancements
Beyond raw power, the 10s Pro incorporates practical gaming innovations. Responsive capacitive shoulder buttons supplement the control options, while the comprehensive Game Space software suite offers:
- Quick access to gaming plugins and accessories
- Display customization options
- Advanced gameplay recording
- Event-triggered monitoring
- AI-generated custom control schemes (surprisingly effective in testing)
