RedMagic 10S Pro goes global with overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite, improved cooling
RedMagic 10S Pro in Nightfall, Moonlight and Dusk
The Leading Version chip has higher clock speeds than the Snapdragon 8 Elite we usually see. The CPU goes up to 4.47GHz (up from 4.32GHz) and the GPU clocks up to 1.2GHz (up from 1.1GHz). The performance of the NPU has been increased by 40%.
For high sustained performance, RedMagic borrowed ideas from gaming PCs. There is 36mm² of liquid metal in direct contact with the chip. This has a higher thermal conductivity than typical compounds and is credited with a 5°C reduction in temperature. The liquid metal guides heat to a 12,000mm² vapor chamber, plus graphene and copper layers, which work together with the high-speed (but quiet) fan to push heat outside. The fan has RGB lighting customizable with up to 15 colors.

The 10S Pro can be configured with up to 24GB of RAM and up to 1TB storage, though note that available options differ by color. There is a detailed price breakdown at the end. Note that the phone launches with RedMagic OS 10.5 based on Android 15.
Besides the cooling fan, another trademark feature of RedMagic devices is the rectangular screen – a custom 6.85' OLED panel from BOE. It has 1216p+ resolution and a refresh rate up to 144Hz, though each game supports different frame rates.
Speaking of, the Snapdragon chip is paired with the RedCore R3 Pro gaming chip. This is responsible for super resolution upscaling to hit 120fps in multiple titles, but also deals with input (for low latency touch detection) and cooling too.
The display has a one finger sampling rate of 2,500Hz, for multiple fingers it is 960Hz. That's not the only control, though. As usual, RedMagic has included two shoulder triggers with 520Hz sampling rate. There's also a MagicKey that launches Game Space (but it can be customized to launch other features too).

Another aspect of endurance is battery life – the RedMagic 10S is equipped with a massive 7,050mAh battery. That can be charged up quickly at up to 80W.
The phone features 4D tactile feedback that combines with DTS:X-certified stereo speakers for a more immersive experience. The rear RGB lighting can be set to react dynamically to sound cues from games, which adds some flair to the experience.
The main camera on the back is based on a 50MP sensor (OV50E) and has optical image stabilization. Next to it is a 50MP ultra-wide (OV50D) and a 2MP helper module. On the front – actually, below the screen – is a 16MP selfie camera.
The RedMagic 10S Pro will go on open sale on June 18 (that's Wednesday two weeks from now). However, there will be a short pre-order period before that – more on that soon! For now, here is the pricing of the various color and memory combinations that will be available on global markets. RedMagic 10S Pro 12GB/256GBNightfall

US could ban the import of the Chinese OLED BOE panels
Samsung filed a lawsuit against the Chinese panel maker BOE two years ago, suggesting the company stole trade secrets from the Korean tech giant. And it looks like the US ITC's (International Trade Commission) decision might lead to ban of the import of BOE panels into the US. According to sources familiar with the matter, the ITC has ruled to ban import of BOE's OLED panels into the US for the next 14 years and 8 months. The ruling isn't final, but the findings that BOE and its seven affiliates have violated the US Tariff Act by selling its panels through misappropriation of Samsung's trade secrets are substantial. The final verdict is due in November, but experts and analysts believe that the court will likely uphold the ban. If the ITC carries out the ban, this will give Samsung some breathing room, as in recent years, BOE has been contesting the Korean company's hegemony in the industry. BOE's OLED panels now match Samsung's in terms of quality and performance, while undercutting prices. Moreover, BOE supplies about 22.7% of the iPhones with its OLED panels, so if the decision to ban BOE's imports of OLED-related products becomes final in November, Apple will be forced to source more of its panels from Samsung and LG. Apple isn't the only US-based company that will suffer from such a trade ban. HP and Dell both use BOE panels for some of their products. Via

Cover screen battery life: how long can you use Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Moto Razr Ultra, external screens only?
$200 off (13%) The Motorola Razr Ultra is here, and the official store has a splendid deal to help you save big on this ultra-powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite phone. The model with massive 1TB of storage is $200 off right now, and the official store gives you a free Moto Watch Fit ($199.98 value) with your smartphone purchase. Buy at Motorola So, the cover screens on both are almost square-ish, the Razr Ultra is a bit narrower. The upside is that the Razr does give you slightly more when you open it up, but in general, these feel quite the same both closed and open. Now, on to the question — how much battery do you save by sticking to the cover screens as much as possible? So, we ran our infinite YouTube playlist through both phones, first on the main screens, then with the phone flaps closed. Brightness settings and volume set the same. Interesting results! The Galaxy Z Flip 7 barely makes any difference. Whether you are watching on the internal or external screen — you get about the same amount of juice. An odd 20 minutes isn't going to make much difference in real life usage scenarios. The Razr Ultra 2025, on the other hand, came out a lot more efficient, giving us a full 4 hours (roughly a 66% improvement) of extra use! Our web browsing test runs a script, which simulates swiping across web pages and loading new ones at equal intervals. Again, brightness and refresh settings are the same. And again, the results are curious. The Samsung, again, seems to offer very little gains if you only use the external screen. At this point, if you are using that cover screen thinking you are saving battery — you might as well stop. It is still more convenient for quick replies, weather checks, and GPS navigation! Just not more energy-efficient. The Motorola Razr Ultra 2025, again, gave us a boost in endurance. About 5 extra hours of web page viewing, or roughly a 22% improvement. So, if you are planning to be a bit of a trickster with your phone usage and use the cover screen to save up on battery — the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 seems to be the phone you should go for. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 offers no gains if you choose to live on the crammy 4-inch screen for general purpose use.

iPhone OLED supplier to be banned from US for 14 years for stealing Samsung tech
The troubles around Chinese display manufacturer BOE have been brewing for some time now. After the rumor that Apple might cut ties with the company due to issues with iPhone 17 displays cracking and the pending investigation by the US Department of Defense, now the company faces an outright ban in the to a Korean news outlet, BOE will be banned from importing OLED panels in the US for 14 years and 8 months. Let's get some backstory first. On the 11th of last month, the ITC issued a preliminary ruling that a total of eight companies, including Chinese display company BOE and seven of its subsidiaries, had violated Article 337 of the Tariff Act by illegally using Samsung Display's trade secrets. The final ruling on the matter is expected sometime in November, but the Korean site claims to have inside sources confirming the ITC largely acknowledged BOE's trade secret theft and misappropriation of confidential information through employee recruitment and other means. According to the ruling obtained by these Korean secret sources on the 12th of August, the ITC stated, " Despite Samsung Display's excellent security measures, BOE obtained and used Samsung Display's trade secrets through misappropriation" and "caused substantial harm and serious threats to Samsung Display." BOE faces an outright ban | Image by Pixabay According to the ruling, the ITC first issued a "Limited Import Order" (LEO) to BOE for 14 years and 8 months. The LEO period is usually calculated based on the "time required to eliminate unfair profits."The ITC also blocked all marketing, sales, advertising, and inventory sales in the US by BOE's headquarters in China and its local US subsidiaries. According to the sources, this ban will be "effective immediately" when the ruling gets officially published in November. BOE displays that have already been imported and sold in the US won't be affected, but the company will no longer be able to compete, leaving room for the two larger Korean display manufacturers. Samsung manufactured 49% of all iPhone panels in Q1 2025 | Image by Samsung Korean companies such as Samsung Display and LG Display are expected to benefit from the alleged ruling. In the first quarter of 2025, Samsung Display, LG Display, and BOE were the main suppliers of OLED displays for iPhones, with Samsung manufacturing 49% of the panels, LG Display around 28%, and BOE around 19%, according to Omdia. In the second quarter of this year, BOE's share increased to 22.7% in small OLED panels for iPhones, surpassing LG Display (21.3%). If the information acquired by the Korean news outlet proves to be true, this ITC ruling will remove BOE altogether as a competitor in the US, leaving Samsung and LG to fill the market share void. How does this ruling affect future iPhone sales and prices? Well, a large part of the iPhone portfolio is still manufactured in China (the country assembles 80% of Apple's iPhones, according to Omdia). The tariff odyssey that's been going on for some time saw President Trump announcing new reciprocal tariffs on imported goods, which hit China the hardest. The latest development brought another 100% tariff on chips imported to the US, aiming to stimulate companies to move production to the US. Apple got an exemption, and at a special meeting in the Oval Office, Cook confirmed that Apple will spend the additional $100 billion to improve the tech giant's domestic manufacturing. Apple had previously said it would spend $600 billion to improve its domestic manufacturing facilities, including investment in a new Kentucky-based factory run by Corning to produce glass for future iPhone models. According to tech analysts and insiders, none of this will result in iPhones being produced in the US anytime soon, but it might hike the prices. The iPhone 17 series is expected in September, and even though no price increase is expected, this might still change.
