REDMAGIC's 9 Pro gaming phone launched in China in November 2023 from CNY 4,399, and its international version went on open sale on 3 January 2024 from $649 for 12GB/256GB. It pairs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with a built-in cooling fan, a flat 6.8-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with an under-display selfie camera, and a 6,500mAh battery with 80W wired charging.
Pros
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with a built-in 22,000rpm cooling fan and a vapor chamber
- 6,500mAh battery gave an Active Use endurance score of about 17.6 hours in review testing
- 80W charging took the battery from 0% to full in just over 40 minutes in review testing
- Flat 6.8-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with a 1,600-nit peak brightness rating and a 16MP under-display selfie camera, so there is no cutout
- Keeps a 3.5mm headphone jack alongside stereo speakers and 520Hz touch shoulder triggers
Cons
- Overheated before completing a 20-minute 3DMark Wild Life stress test cycle in review testing, with or without the fan on
- Display is not among the brightest, at about 1,016 nits measured in review testing, and does not support HDR video
- Ultrawide photos came out soft and underexposed in review testing and selfie colors skew warm, and there is no telephoto lens
- No official IP rating and no wireless charging
