The Red Magic 9 Pro series was recently unveiled and in there, we saw the Red Magic 9 Pro+ and the Red Magic 9 Pro. The Red Magic 9 Pro+ is the more premium version as you get more memory which will improve performance. The phone comes in as the direct successor to the Red Magic 8 Pro+ and it has a better camera, improved performance, and upgraded display. In today’s article, we’ll talk about the Red Magic 9 Pro+ specs, price, and features.
Red Magic 9 Pro+ Features
I guess the first thing to talk about in a gaming smartphone is its performance and there’s a lot to talk about in this regard. The Red Magic 9 Pro+ is equipped with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 which is a monster in graphics, CPU, and AI tasks. The phone comes with either 16GB or 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of fast UFS 4.0 internal storage.
To keep performance at the absolute best regardless of the task, the phone is equipped with a 10,182mm² vapor chamber, a faster fan, a bigger air duct, and the CUBE energy engine. All these will help to reduce the phone’s running temperature so it can keep top performance for a longer period with throttling.
Upfront, you definitely have to be wowed by the beautiful display that has no interruptions all through. It is a 6.8-inch 10-bit AMOLED panel that has a resolution of 1116 x 2480 pixels and a peak brightness of 1,600 nits. The display has a 120 Hz refresh rate, 960 Hz multi-finger touch sampling rate, and 2,160 Hz PWM dimming to protect the eyes from getting sore. The display has support for HDR10+ and it covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Beneath the display, there is a fingerprint sensor which doubles as a heart rate sensor. The full screen with no interruptions was achievable thanks to the improved under-display selfie camera.
The camera department also got a noticable upgrade even though it is not a major concern in gaming phones. The triple camera now features a 50MP Samsung GN5 main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP macro camera. The selfie camera is a 16MP sensor and Red Magic says there’s an improvement in quality when compared to its predecessor.
Now, this is where things get tricky, despite being more premium, the Red Magic 9 Pro+ gets a smaller battery but faster charging than its non-Plus sibling. On the inside, there is a 5,500 mAh battery and it has support for 165W fast charging which is advertised to take the phone to 100% in just 16 minutes.
The phone comes with support for 5G, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.3, and it has an IR blaster. There are dual stereo speakers and the nearly extinct 3.5mm audio jack which help the gaming experience.
As for the software, the phone runs on Android 14 with Magic OS 9 skin on top and it is packed with lots of interesting software features that enhance the overall gaming experience.
