After introducing its new gaming phone in China last month, the 10S Pro, RedMagic is bringing its flagship to global markets. Just like the previous model, RedMagic 10 Pro, the company's new flagship product focuses on gaming features and hardware that specifically supports this activity.
What sets this gaming phone from other similar products is support for Steam and Epic Games, which means that you should be able to play your PC games that you own on these two platforms on your phone, at least in theory.
In practice, not all PC games are playable on the RedMagic 10S Pro. Apparently, you'll be able to play older AAA games like Need for Speed and Call of Duty (the older ones, obviously), but nothing released in the last couple of years. That's quite understandable considering how much the graphics have advanced in the gaming industry in the last few years. For reference, the mobile version of Asphalt requires just a few GBs storage, while the PC game needs at least 10GB. Not to mention that the visual difference between the two versions is quite noticeable.Still, the RedMagic 10S Pro is probably the most powerful Android smartphone available on the market, so it should make playing PC games smoother. At its core, the 10S Pro packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version chipset, the same that powers Samsung's Galaxy S25 series. The powerful processor is complemented by the dedicated RedCore R3 Pro gaming chip, which is in charge with specialized gaming tasks, allowing the phone to maintain peak system responsiveness and enhanced graphics fidelity through advanced super-resolution and 120FPS (frames-per-second) performance. Also, the phone is available in configurations up to 24GB RAM and 1TB storage.

More importantly, RedMagic 10S Pro comes with an enhanced ICE-X cooling system with Liquid Metal 2.0. The advanced 10-layer ICE-X cooling architecture featuring 200 W/m-K thermal conductivity is typically reserved for high-end gaming PCs. The cooling system has been improved from the previous iterations by increasing the liquid metal coverage by 30 percent, which means it's now covers 36mm2. It's also important to mention that the liquid metal begins to soften at around 50-degress Celsius for enhanced efficiency.Because the upgraded liquid metal directly covers the CPU, its temperature is reduced by up to 5-degrees Celsius. This is combined with a 12,000 mm2 vapor chamber, graphene and copper insulation layers, as well as a high-speed 23,000 RPM turbofan to make the entire cooling system efficiently dissipate heat, thus preventing throttling of your gameplay session.
A gaming phone without a state-of-the-art display and a huge battery wouldn't be appealing at all, but the RedMagic 10S Pro delivers on both aspects. The phone boasts a stunning 6.85-inch BOE custom AMOLED 1.5K display with 144Hz refresh rate, 2,000 nits peak brightness, and 95.3 percent screen-to-body ratio.As far as the battery goes, RedMagic 10S Pro packs a massive 7,050 mAh battery with support for 80W wired charging speeds. Compared to the previous model, the 10S Pro features 25 percent higher energy density, enabling the company to keep the sleek, slim design.Although it's a gaming-oriented flagship, the RedMagic 10S Pro comes with a more than decent camera too. At the heart of the triple-camera system sits a 50-megapixel main sensor (OmniVision 50E) with OIS (optical image stabilization), a top-tier 7P lens, and an anti-glare APL coating. A second 50-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens (OmniVision 50D) with advanced distortion correction complements the main sensor. The third 2-megapixel camera supports the entire system to further enhance photo quality in specific modes. There's also a 16-megapixel camera on the front, which features enhanced AI optimization.
As expected, the RedMagic 10S Pro comes with gamer-centric controls and X-Gravity Gaming Center, which supports external keyboard, mouse, and controller connectivity, as well as one-click screen casting for big-screen gaming, and a suit of gaming plugins to customize and enhance gameplay.

RedMagic 10S Pro is one of those flagships that are priced well below the $1,000 mark. In fact, only the most expensive version of the phone costs that much money, which makes the RedMagic 10S Pro an incredibly good deal. 12/256GB model - $699 / €649
16/512GB model - $849 / €799
24GB/1TB model - $999 / €999
