Can you believe another high-powered gaming phone is on the way? The RedMagic 6 Pro has just been announced, and it looks like it will give the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and the upcoming Asus ROG Phone 5 a run for their money.
Not only does the phone have 18GB of RAM, its display also packs an incredible 165Hz refresh rate. If you thought 120Hz was impressive, this will probably blow your mind.
The RedMagic 6 Pro is powered by Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 888 chipset, offers a 6.8-inch Full HD OLED display, capacitive “shoulder triggers” on each side, up to 512GB of storage, and a 120W fast charging system. which can apparently fully recharge the 4,500 mAh battery in just 17 minutes. That’s pretty cool if you ask us.
There is also a model that is not Pro, but its charging system is not that impressive. It has a larger 5,050 mAh battery, but only a 66W charger that takes 38 minutes to reach 100%. It also only has up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
Camera-wise, both phones feature a triple-lens system on the rear, with a 64MP main lens, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro lens. It’s not the best camera out there, but you’re probably not buying this phone for its photographic capabilities. There is also a front sensor for taking selfies, which is hidden in the phone’s bezel. That means there are no notches, holes, or pop-up cameras. Pure, unfiltered display only
Like most phones, they both come with 5G, USB-C connectivity, Wi-Fi 6, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. There is no need to worry about the audio lag you may get from Bluetooth headphones here.
Interestingly, RedMagic 6 will be launched together with Chinese firm Tencent. This apparently means that it will be optimized for Tencent apps like WeChat and QQ, and has the company’s Solar Core gaming software pre-installed.
While those apps aren’t that popular outside of China, Solar Core promises to deliver better game response speed, frame rates, and network latency. All of which will come in handy when trying to start your game.
The RedMagic 6 starts at 3,799 yuan (about $ 585), giving you the model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The RedMagic 6 Pro starts at 4,399 yuan (about $ 677), but that only gets you 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The top-tier model with 18GB of RAM and 256GB of storage space costs 6,599 yuan, which is equivalent to about $ 1,017. So all that hardware is not cheap. Official US pricing has yet to be revealed.
The phone is now available to pre-order in China, with a global launch expected before the end of the month.
