![]() Depending on how many games you play in a day, and the types of games, you might anticipate getting through a full day without needing to charge. Performance-wise, I found the battery to last as long as I expected. The REDMAGIC 7S Pro comes with a 5,000mAh battery with support for 65W fast charging. The same goes for the face unlocking which uses that hidden front-facing camera to quickly open things up. The REDMAGIC 7S Pro comes with an in-display fingerprint reader that I find to be fast and reliable. For some reason select devices do not have both. I’m of the opinion that upper-end smartphones should employ both a fingerprint reader and facial recognition for unlocking. Upgraded from the standard REDMAGIC 7, it’s reported to lower the internal temperature of the phone by up to 3☌ (~5 degrees Fahrenheit). Then there’s also that 20,000RPM fan that lights up with RGB LED lights as well as a vapor chamber, high thermal conductivity copper foil, thermal gel, and other components to comprise the ten layers of the ICE 10.0 cooling system. Moreover, there are ventilation grilles on the back and the side to help with keeping things cool. There’s a metal plate that runs much of the back’s length with a grey urban camouflage pattern. I like the cooling system that REDMAGIC institutes for its phones as it’s not only beneficial but it’s fun to look at, too. Shoulder buttons are an excellent addition for some titles and help blur the line between a phone and a gaming controller. I’m not a hardcore mobile gamer but I do appreciate some of the choices that gaming phone manufacturers make. I hate to speak in hyperbolic terms, but I cannot imagine ever needing more from a phone. Yet, here we are in fall 2022 with an octa-core processor clocked as high as 3.2GHz with 18GB LPDDR5 memory. ![]() If you would have told me a few years ago that I would test a phone with 18GB RAM, I would have laughed at you. If you’re the type who likes to read benchmark tests and do deep-dive comparisons of phones, I suggest Notebookcheck’s take on the two. Did I see the performance difference? Not in the games that I played but I am confident that the newer processor is more powerful and more efficient. Somewhat similarly, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 in the 7S Pro bests the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 from the standard REDMAGIC 7. Those of you who like to keep a watchful eye on benchmarks and squeeze hardware for everything its worth will appreciate what’s on offer. As for me, I removed them and rearranged the layout because it felt cluttered. If you like to keep an eye on stats and performance, you’ll appreciate them. ![]() There are plenty of widgets and shortcuts to sprinkle on your home screen, some of which are there by default. I found it inviting to tinker with options and customize the experience and the more time I spend with it, the more I understand its intentions. The Game Space, for instance, gives gamers control over performance and tuning. The interface feels built for users who want to get into games and spend the majority of their time there. Much of what you see and interact with on the surface is designed to showcase or point you to gaming features and settings. Understanding that this is a phone that’s built with gaming in mind, it feels that way in usage. Keeping in mind that I’m a big fan of a clean UI and barebones Android build, it takes some tweaking and adjusting to get it to my liking. The transparent spots make for an interesting appearance and the LED lights accent things in a way that call to mind a gaming PC or a room dedicated to games.Īs I found with the REDMAGIC 7, the software and user experience can be off-putting or frustrating at first. Look closely enough and you’ll notice where it is but otherwise you’ll quickly forget it’s even there.ĭesign-wise, the REDMAGIC 7S Pro ticks all the same boxes as the 7 and 7 Pro in that it has a unique look. This is not to suggest that there is no front-facing selfie camera, it’s just tucked away under the display. And because there’s no notch or hole punch front-facing camera, things extend to all edges of the screen without interruption. Everything is bright, clear, and as smooth as silk. Games look incredible on the phone, of course, but so do videos and photos. Standout details include 120Hz refresh rate, 960Hz touch sampling rate, 1,080×2,400 pixels resolution and 600 nits brightness. Not only is the screen big, but its well-rounded, too. But that’s exactly what gamers want and need for immersing themselves. The REDMAGIC 7S Pro is a rather large device with its 6.8-inch AMOLED display.
