RedMagic 9S Pro launches next month with focus on eSports mobile gaming

RedMagic 9S Pro is on its way, and it's landing in the Chinese market on July 3rd. Nubia hasn't shared any other details besides that, but the promotional poster does hint that this flagship phone will focus on offering an improved eSports mobile gaming experience.

Moreover, the poster has the Snapdragon Elite Gaming logo on it, which gives away the fact that the upcoming flagship gaming phone will be powered by a Qualcomm chip. Nubia packed the predecessor, the RedMagic 8S Pro, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 "Leading Version." So, it's safe to assume that the upcoming phone will sport the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 "Leading Version." 

This "Leading Version" is nothing but the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, which Qualcomm developed for the Samsung Galaxy S24 series (512 GB S24 Ultra curr. $1,289.94 on Amazon). It's basically an overclocked version of the regular chipset, capable of reaching up to 3.4 GHz. To compare, the standard version of the SoC can reach up to 3.3 GHz.

In our review, the Samsung Galaxy 24 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy scored 2287 points in single-core and 7102 points in multi-core tests on Geekbench 6.2. Given that RedMagic phones usually come with a robust cooling setup, we could see the upcoming 9S Pro scoring a little better than this.

Looking back, it was only the higher-clocked chipset that primarily set the RedMagic 8 Pro and 8S Pro apart. You can expect for the upcoming 9S Pro. The good part is that the launch is over the horizon, so we don't need to wait long to learn more about this flagship phone.
