The RedMagic 8S Pro is an excellent gaming phone, but it doesn’t fill a gap in the market that needs to be filled. There are far too many parallels between this model and the one that came before it, despite the fact that the screen and performance of the new model are both of the highest calibre. Unfortunately, this also applies to the numerous problems that are present with RedMagic phones.
On the other hand, if you’re searching for an affordable gaming phone, you won’t be let down by your options. The RedMagic 8S Pro has the exact same design language as its forerunner. Nubia has maintained the streamlined and expert appearance that sets the RedMagic 8 series apart from other gaming phones, and the inclusion of a few design elements in this model helps to make it one of the most aesthetically pleasing gaming phones now available.

There is no denying that it has an excellent screen, but a higher refresh rate cap would have placed it in step with the 144 Hz that Asus has been including in their smartphones for some time now.

Where to get REDMAGIC 8S Pro 5G?
Although the Red Magic 8S Pro is extremely similar to its direct predecessor, we are astonished by the value proposition it offers despite the fact that it is almost indistinguishable. You are getting top-tier gaming performance, remappable controls, lightning-fast charging, and amazing battery life, all wrapped up in a beautiful all-screen design, and all for the low price of $649 or £579.
It is not the absolute best gaming phone that is now available on the market due to cluttered software, a mixed camera set-up, and one or two decisions that are not suited for gaming. At this price, however, it is without a doubt the greatest value available. The Red Magic 8S Pro can withstand a day of average use, which includes slightly more than three hours of screen-on time, and it will still have 60 percent of its battery life remaining by the time the user goes to bed.
When used “normally,” this phone might potentially last for two days on a single charge. As in the past, charging is handled by a 65W charger that is included in the package. This can take you from having no charge to having 100% charge in about forty minutes, which is quite impressive going and is on par with the expensive ROG Phone 7 Ultimate.
