Hey there, gamers and tech enthusiasts! The moment you've all been waiting for has finally arrived! RedMagic, the master of gaming smartphones, is opening up its Winners' Circle to gamers outside of China with the RedMagic 8S Pro! Brace yourselves for an epic adventure in the world of mobile gaming, as this smartphone is touted to be the ultimate form of Android gaming bliss.
So, what makes the 8S Pro the beast it claims to be? Well, let's dive right in and find out!
Under the Hood:
The 8S Pro takes inspiration from its earlier sibling, the 8 Pro, but it doesn't stop there. This baby has been pumped up with the Leading Version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and a spiffy upgraded ICE 12.0 cooling system, specially reserved for it. Talk about keeping your cool under fire!
Mind-Blowing Display:
Prepare to be mesmerized by the "most advanced" 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a jaw-dropping 93.7% screen-to-body ratio. Thanks to RedMagic's wizardry, you get to enjoy a "true full-screen" experience with almost no bezels in sight. And to top it off, a second-gen UDC selfie camera ensures that pesky camera cutouts don't ruin your gameplay.
Unleashing the Power:
The RedMagic 8S Pro takes no prisoners when it comes to performance. It flaunts a CPU and GPU running at their peak speeds of 3.36GHz and 719MHz, respectively. That's a whopping 33% performance boost over the original 8 Gen 2! With such power under the hood, RedMagic guarantees you a consistent 59.9 fps of "vivid, quality" gaming for a remarkable 2 hours straight. Say goodbye to lag and hello to victory!
Battery Bliss:
You'd think such raw power would drain the battery like a thirsty dragon, right? Wrong! RedMagic has managed to squeeze in a market-leading 6,000mAh battery to keep your gaming sessions running without interruption. So, fear not, brave gamers! You've got the stamina to outlast any gaming marathon!
The Charging Conundrum:
Ah, here's a twist in the tale. While the Chinese version boasted a mind-boggling 165W charging speed that could juice up your phone in a blink, the Global Edition had to settle for a mere 65W. But wait, don't get disappointed just yet! RedMagic is still throwing in its own branded GaN-enhanced power brick in the box. You can trust it to charge your phone like a speedster!
Storage Supremacy:
RedMagic 8S Pro excels in RAM and internal storage like no other. The class-leading LPDDR5X RAM ensures buttery-smooth multitasking, and the "3.5GB/s" UFS 4.0 internal storage promises lightning-fast app loading and smooth performance. Although the Chinese version offered an astonishing 24GB RAM and 1TB storage, the international version does scale down a bit. But hey, we can always hope for more next year, right?
Colors of Glory:
While the 8S Pro might have held back on some specs, it sure knows how to keep things spicy. Each RAM/storage variant has its own colorway to suit your style. The Midnight (black) finish graces the 12/256GB base model, while the top-end 16/512GB option shines in Platinum (silver). And for those who seek to showcase their love for gaming hardware, the Aurora edition proudly displays the RedMagic RGB "centrifugal fan" through a faux-transparent rear panel. Talk about flaunting your gaming passion!
Price and Availability:
Now, let's get to the nitty-gritty. The RedMagic 8S Pro (Global) is all set to hit the market on July 27, 2023, with the Early Bird phase of sales. Followed by an Early Access event on August 2, and guess what? Open sales begin from the following day. So, gamers, mark your calendars and prepare to join the Winners' Circle!
As for the price tags, the Midnight (black) 12/256GB model is up for grabs at US$649/€649/£580. If you desire the Platinum (silver) 16/512GB variant, you'll have to shell out US$779/€779/£689.
