How to Choose the Best Gaming Smartphone and Play Without Limits
Nowadays, millions of gamers play not only on a high-end PC or game console, but also on their smartphones. If you are one of those mobile gamers, you might be wondering what features to look for when buying the best gaming smartphone for your needs.
REDMAGIC has been helping gamers dominate the leaderboards for years – and that doesn’t just mean they make PC gaming peripherals (including a 4K gaming monitor, mechanical keyboard, and gaming mouse) and soon, a gaming laptop that can give you the edge. REDMAGIC also brings the level of technical prowess and performance normally reserved for esports champions to mobile gamers thanks to the REDMAGIC 9S Pro – an absolute powerhouse of a device that not only keeps you in touch with friends and family, but also gives you the very best mobile gaming experience thanks to the most powerful and advanced hardware on the market.
Here’s what you need to know to choose the best gaming smartphone money can buy. We’ll also explain why the REDMAGIC 9S Pro ticks all of these boxes.
1. Advanced hardware
Mobile games are getting more and more ambitious when it comes to graphics. That means you want a smartphone that’s equipped with the latest and most powerful mobile hardware so your games look and perform their best.
Powered by the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version chip inside the device, the REDMAGIC 9S Pro outperforms the competition in terms of gaming performance. It also breaks benchmark records, ensuring you get the best gaming experience on a smartphone.
The REDMAGIC 9S Pro also delivers exceptional sound quality to perfectly match the visuals, with dual 1115K DTS:X ULTRA-certified speakers. Built-in RGB lighting syncs with your audio for an incredibly immersive experience.
2. Powerful cooling
All that power in a compact smartphone means that when buying the perfect gaming smartphone, you need to make sure the handset has a strong cooling system. The harder the components inside your smartphone work, the hotter they get, and if they get too hot, your smartphone can slow down – or even shut down altogether. In the middle of a game, that can be disastrous.
The REDMAGIC 9S Pro is equipped with an especially powerful cooling system: the improved ICE 13.5. Thanks to the new cooling gel, the smartphone stays cool even during the most intense battles. This means that there is no compromise on performance.
Thanks to the cooling gel, REDMAGIC was able to improve cooling efficiency by 20%. And thanks to the super-fast turbo fan spinning at 22,000rpm (which can be personalized with the RGB colors of your choice), the REDMAGIC 9S Pro stays nice and cool while gaming.
3. Reliable controls that won’t let you down
A great gaming smartphone shouldn’t just offer stunning visuals, it should also allow you to play your games comfortably. Many smartphones only offer touchscreen controls, and while that’s fine for casual mobile gaming, for deep and competitive games you’ll want tactile buttons that are comfortable to use, while also giving you a competitive edge with faster response times and even immersive force feedback effects.
With the REDMAGIC 9S Pro, you’ll feel every stroke thanks to the powerful Super Linear Motor, which delivers 38% more vibration intensity. And thanks to the 4D Shock Absorber Adjustment Tool, you can fine-tune the force feedback effects to your playing style.
The shoulder triggers on the REDMAGIC 9S Pro have also been improved, with fast and responsive 520Hz trigger speeds, increased sensitivity, and a much larger touch surface. This gives you an edge over the competition, as in-game actions are fired off at lightning speed. Plus, there’s less chance of you missing a button when the action gets going.
What’s more, the shoulder triggers are also more resistant to sweat, so you can rely on them even when things get hectic.
4. Long battery life
Mobile games, especially games with the latest graphics, can drain the battery of regular smartphones quite quickly. So if you don’t want your gaming time to be interrupted, you need a gaming smartphone that offers sufficient battery life between charges.
The REDMAGIC 9S Pro’s massive 6500mAh battery keeps you gaming for hours, with an incredible 56 hours of use on a single charge!
When it’s finally time to charge, you won’t have to wait thanks to 80W fast charging capability. And when you’re using it while plugged in, the REDMAGIC 9S Pro won’t use the battery to power your games — potentially resulting in longer battery life overall.
5. Game boosting software for profit
It’s not just the REDMAGIC 9S Pro’s hardware that’s designed to give you the ultimate gaming experience – the new REDMAGIC 9.5 OS software is packed with gamer-focused features that can help you improve your games. The new Screen Extraction feature lets you select on-screen elements like maps, and move and resize them, and you can even adjust the aspect ratio of certain games.
There’s also a new high-sensitivity roulette feature that lets you customize the game controls for greater precision. Plus, you can set different settings for each game, giving you a level of control that other smartphones lack.
You can also quickly jot down notes, set reminders and use timers to keep track of puzzles, events and trophies. And with Z-SmartCast you can stream your games wirelessly to your PC.
6. It must be a great smartphone when you’re not gaming
Finally, if you’re looking for the perfect gaming smartphone, you’ll want a device that can also handle all your non-gaming tasks like making calls, taking photos, and browsing the web.
The REDMAGIC 9S Pro is a great gaming smartphone, but when you’re not gaming it still offers flagship performance and design.
The 6.8-inch display is a BOE Q9+ Full Flat FHD+ with exclusive “09 REDMAGIC” lighting. Super-narrow bezels around the screen give the REDMAGIC 9S Pro a sleek and modern look, and with a 960Hz multi-finger touch sampling rate, your apps and games feel fast and responsive.
The REDMAGIC 9S Pro also features dual rear cameras: a Samsung GN5 50MP with optical OIS image stabilization, a 7P lens and an APL-coated anti-reflection layer, and a Samsung JN1 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera with an optimized distortion correction algorithm.
Unlike many competitors, the back of the REDMAGIC 9S Pro is completely flat, with no camera bump. You can choose from four beautiful designs: Snowfall, Sleet, Cyclone and the new Frost. You get a beautiful flagship phone that excels at everything you do, from gaming to staying in touch with friends and family.
