The Red Magic 9 Pro & 9 Pro+ were launched in November with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Today, the brand launched the upgraded versions in the Chinese market – Red Magic 9S Pro & Red Magic 9S Pro+. The main upgrades include the performance & cooling. The two phones are not much different from each other, as the differences include the battery sizes, charging speeds, and memory options.

Speaking of the design, the Red Magic 9S Pro & 9S Pro+ feature a similar design as the 9 Pro & 9 Pro+. There is a flat design that includes a flat frame and a flat display. There is no hole punch cutout on the front, as the camera is placed under the display. There are vents on the side for the air intake since both phones feature a cooling fan. There are stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack on top, and a USB 3.2 Type-C port.

Both the phones are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but it is not the same 8 Gen 3 that powers the 9 Pro & 9 Pro+. Instead, Red Magic went for the overclocked version which has a CPU clocked at up to 3.4GHz (versus 3.3GHz), and a GPU clocked at up to 1GHz. The result is an AnTuTu benchmark score of over 2.3 Million points, which is the highest when it comes to Android phones.

The two phones differ in terms of battery and charging. The Red Magic 9S Pro has a 6,500mAh battery and 80W fast charging support, while the Red Magic 9S Pro+ has a 5,500mAh battery and 165W fast charging. As for the memory configuration, the Red Magic 9S Pro comes with 12GB or 16GB RAM and 256GB or 512GB storage. On the other hand, the Red Magic 9S Pro+ comes with 16GB or 24GB RAM and 512GB or 1TB storage.

The display is a 6.8-inch BOE Q9+ OLED with a 1,116 x 2,480 pixels resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
