REDMAGIC 10 PRO - 7 Games Tested! Best Gaming Phone to Start 2025!

The phone that
I've been looking forward to

before the year 2024 ends
has arrived.

And this is one
of my favorite gaming phones—

REDMAGIC.

This is the REDMAGIC 10 Pro.

This one has the most powerful
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite.

Full screen goodness
with 95.3% screen-to-body ratio.

7,050mAh of battery
with 100W of fast charging,

and it even has bypass charging.

And best of all, it has 144Hz
of screen refresh rate.

More details
after this quick intro.

(introduction music)

So this all-new REDMAGIC 10 Pro
comes in three variants:

we have the shadow variant
that's 12GB/256GB,

this one I'm holding
is the dusk variant

that's 16GB/512GB,

and it has another one
which is the moonlight variant

that's also 16GB/512GB.

I'll update the price
on the description box below

once this becomes available
here in the Philippines.

Talking about simplicity,
we can see that REDMAGIC

made it simple on the design
on the back.

It's not that complex
unlike before.

And I kind of like
the simple design on the back.

One thing you'll appreciate here
is that there are lights

on its "X."

Its color looks great
and you can change it

with different colors
inside the game center.

And here on the REDMAGIC logo.

Another thing to notice
is that this is probably one

of the phones that
has a flat back.

You'll notice it
when you hold its back

that there's no bumps here,
it's very flat,

so its camera module
won't be easily scratched.

It has two shoulder triggers,
there's the game mode button,

and this is the cooling fan intake,

and on the other side
is the exhaust.

This gaming phone
has three microphones,

one here, one on the bottom,
and one on the top

to be able to pick up
your sound really nice

when you're playing games.

One thing I noticed here
is that you won't be able

to see where its camera
really is here.

In the previous generation,
you'll see that

there's a bit of blur here
which is the camera.

But this time around,
I looked at it closely,

I can't see where's
the camera hidden anymore.

One good news is that
the photos in this phone

has improved
for its selfie shots,

which you'll see later
when we talk about the camera.

One of the good things here
is that its grip is very nice,

the back is very flat
and on the sides,

but there's kind of a round edge
on the sides

so it's not edgy.

This phone is being powered
by the latest

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite,
and it's really

a powerhouse of a chip
which can give you

a really, really good
gaming experience.

And when I tested it
on AnTuTu Benchmark,

it gave me 2.78 million points
on this benchmark.

And when it was broken down,
this is the score that I got.

And based on REDMAGIC,
it reached 3 million.

I did roughly 20 times
over and over again,

and I was playing
at around 2.6-2.7 million

and this is the highest
that I achieved.

It's nowhere near
the score that REDMAGIC

was showing that's around
3 million AnTuTu Benchmark score.

On Wild Life,
its loop score is 6,000

and its stability is 72%.

Its thermals are not bad
and it throttled to 76%

of its max performance.

This is the score that I got
on Geekbench

on CPU benchmarking
and GPU benchmarking.

Now this phone comes
with a 7,050mAh

and it now supports
100W of fast charging.

This is what I was requesting
previously with REDMAGIC

that they make it
at least 100W so that

it becomes at par
with what they're releasing

in China.

And finally, they've listened
because previously

on the 9S Pro, it is 80W.

And its battery also improved
from 6,500 to 7,050mAh now.

If you're a heavy user,
you'll really appreciate

the 7,050mAh of battery
inside your smartphone.

If you're using it normally,
one whole day,

you won't have any problems,
it can definitely last that long.

And if you're gaming extremely,
you don't need

to use its battery,
you can always use

a power bank
or you can always use

your charging cable
to use its bypass charging

while you're gaming,
so that your battery

is more protected.

When I put it under
the PCMark battery stress test,

the results that I got
are also good.

13 hours and 8 minutes
of screen-on time.

This is based
on 50% brightness

and 60Hz
of screen refresh rate.

For this gaming phone,
it's long-lasting.

This screen is being collaborated
between BOE and REDMAGIC,

and they came up
with a 6.85-inch AMOLED display

with a 1.5K resolution.

This is probably one
of the first ones

that has this resolution
on a full screen display.

Another good thing here
is that its screen covers

the whole screen,
its bezels are so slim,

and this totals to 95.3%
screen-to-body ratio

which is, for me, wow,
its screen is so huge,

it's all yours,
this phone is just goodness.

144Hz of screen refresh rate.

It has 2,000 nits
of maximum brightness.

And it also has 2,500Hz
of touch sampling rate.

Its frame border plus bezel
is just around 1.5 mm thick.

It's so thin.

And this one also comes
with a SGS eye protection.

I really am a sucker
for phones like this one

with no punch holes.

Browsing on socials,
I would say that

you would very much enjoy here
because of the goodness

of its screen
and my experience

is so smooth here,
be it browsing on Facebook,

TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter,
you won't have any problems.

And because this one
has a Level 1 Widevine Security Level

so you can watch HD here
on your favorite

online streaming apps.

And if you're watching
on YouTube,

expect a really good resolution
on this phone

because its colors
are very punchy

and black is blacker
definitely on this screen.

You get nothing
but the best viewing experience

on this phone.

It has two loudspeakers,
one on the top

and one on the bottom.

We just want to check
how loud the sounds are

on this gaming phone.

So let's check this one out.
