The high energy is in full swing in the Indian smartphone market, as Nubia is all set to release its new gaming beast, the Red magic 10S Pro. With an arsenal of cutting-edge features, including hyper-speed technology, a monstrous battery, and an unrivaled 24GB of RAM, it will revolutionize mobile gaming for enthusiasts everywhere. Already making splashes since its worldwide announcement, the RedMagic 10S Pro delivers a world-class performance, cutting-edge cooling, and a design born for gamers. Let’s take a deep dive into what is making this smartphone a game-changer in the crowded tech landscape of India.
For Serious Gamers: A Powerhouse
The RedMagic 10S Pro is a phone built for gamers, and its hardware is about as aggressive as anything I’ve ever seen in a smartphone. At its heart is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Edition chipset, which is an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This chipset has two Orion Prime cores with a clock speed of 4.47 GHz (compared to 4.32 GHz in the standard model) and an Adreno 830 GPU running at 1.2 GHz, up from 1.1 GHz. These enhancements result in a 30% performance increase and a 40% improvement in neural processing unit (NPU) performance, which works out well for intensive games and multitasking.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite is coupled with the RedCore R3 Pro, a gaming chip that maximizes performance by processing specific operations at the operating system level. This means better gameplay, faster reaction times, and a jitter-free experience, even during the most demanding gaming encounters. The phone is available in several configurations, and the highest-end one packs 24GB of LPDDR5T RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 Pro storage. Just to put it into perspective, most laptops don’t come with more than 24GB RAM, and this device, with that kind of power, will make a total beast for handling high-end games such as PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, or Genshin Impact at the highest settings without freezing or stuttering.
The RedMagic 10S Pro is also equipped with a 6.85-inch 1.5K BOE Q9 AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 144 Hz for a smooth gaming experience. The screen is 2688 x 1216 pixels in resolution, and it provides sharp color and detail, even under direct sunlight, thanks to 2000 nits peak brightness. Pair the high refresh rate with a 960Hz touch sampling, and every swipe and tap registers like lightning, which puts gamers at an advantage.
Revolutionary Cooling for Enthusiastic Gaming Slim But Powerful: AAB Cooling offers the advantage of retaining the highest quality standards inside and also outside.
One of the more notable features of the RedMagic 10S Pro is its state-of-the-art cooling system, which draws from the cooling features in gaming PCs. The phone adopts 36mm² of liquid metal direct contact with the chipset, a world premiere in the smartphone industry. Liquid metal heatsinks are also being implemented, which will further reduce temperatures when compared to a competitive TIM, neutralizing an added 5°C of thermal resistance while needing to dissipate this heat into a form factor of a 12,000mm² vapor chamber, one side with all optimum heat spreaders of graphene and a copper layer. A 23,000 RPM cooling fan, despite its high RPM, operates quietly, blowing air to the phone, which dissipates heat and keeps the phone cool during extended gaming sessions.
This cooling system is a big step up from the RedMagic 10 Pro, which never quite stacked up to the efficiency of previous RedMagic iterations. The enhanced cooling of the 10S Pro delivers sustained performance and would not cause thermal throttling that might slow down other smartphones in prolonged operations. Whether you’re fighting through an online multiplayer match or streaming for an extended time, the RedMagic 10S Pro keeps heat at bay so you can keep the performance level high.
The Huge Battery You Need To Keep The Power Flowing
Battery life is always an important consideration for gamers, and the RedMagic 10S Pro doesn’t disappoint. It boasts an impressive 7,050mAh silicon-carbon battery, one of the biggest in its category. That kind of ability means you can game for hours without needing to plug the mouse in. For recharging, the phone has 80W fast charging support, and you can fill up the battery in a little over 30 minutes. With a huge battery paired with fast charging capabilities, the RedMagic 10S Pro is a trustworthy companion for marathon gaming sessions, travel, and daily life.
There’s even a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, which means even faster data transfer speeds and DisplayPort output for connecting to an external monitor. This is a unique feature for smartphones and is a welcome addition for users who wish to mirror their games or content to a larger display.
A Makeover Fit for a Gamer, Inside and Out
The RedMagic 10S Pro isn’t all about heated gaming announcements; it was also designed to be intuitive when in hand to boost gaming experiences. The phone is sleek and rectangular with flat glass panels and a solid metal frame. Also, unlike most modern smartphones, there’s no camera bump, meaning a more comfortable horizontal gaming experience. On the right edge are the volume rocker, a round power button, and a MagicKey that, by default, launches the Game Space mode. This mode will enhance the phone for gaming by turning off the notifications and increasing the performance.
The accessory also offers 520 Hz capacitive shoulder triggers—ideal for time-sensitive in-game control in fast-paced games like shooters. All of these triggers together, and the high-touch sampling rate, bring the players a console-like gaming experience on a mobile device. For style points, RGB LED zones on the back of the panel subtly shimmer, providing a hint of the gaming experience without going overboard. Coming in a range of colors, including Dusk and a Wuthering Waves Limited Edition, the RedMagic 10S Pro focuses on attracting gamers who want their device to look as good as it plays.
Camera and Software: Sufficient but Not the Star
Though it’s a gaming phone, after all, the RedMagic 10S Pro doesn’t skimp on the other basics. The back camera system is comprised of a 50MP primary OIS sensor, a 50MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro lens. The front camera unit, which includes a 16MP sensor, is housed under the display, allowing for a notch-free, uninterrupted display. Leica cameras that are decent for casual photography, but the cameras aren’t the phone’s main selling point. The RedMagic 10S Pro has middling camera performance compared to flagship devices like the iPhone or Pixel, but for social media posts or quick snaps, it suffices.
The phone is powered by RedMagic AI OS 10.5, based on Android 15, and offers a clean and rather customizable UI. Nubia’s software has always been the weakest link, with much fewer updates compared to rivals. The company has also pledged three years of OS and security upgrade support for global and US models and five years of OS support for the UK and the EU—which is better but still lags behind brands such as Samsung and Google. For gamers, it has features such as Game Space, which allows you granular control of your settings for the best possible performance, and AI improvements for a smoother gaming experience.
Price and Availability in India
The RedMagic 10S Pro has already been out globally, and the Indian launch is expected to be soon. It costs $649 (approximately ₹55,000) for the base model, which comes with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, and $999 (approximately ₹85,000) for the 24GB RAM and 1TB storage model. In the middle, there is a 16GB RAM and 512GB storage variant, which is priced at $799 (approximately ₹68,000). These prices put the RedMagic 10S Pro in line as a premium gaming phone, but one that’s a lot cheaper than devices like the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro, which can cost nearly twice this
The phone will be on sale in India via online and offline retailers, though there isn’t any official launch date yet. Judging from Nubia’s practice of launching RedMagic handsets in India, fans are also expecting the phone to hit stores in the next few months. Pricing can differ slightly because of taxes and import duties, but considering what the RedMagic 10S Pro offers and how much it costs, it's difficult to go against it for budget gamers.
What Makes the RedMagic 10S Pro Stand Out
The RedMagic 10S Pro is so much more than a smartphone; it is a gaming powerhouse that’s been crafted to be better value for money than anything else in its category. With its overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and up to 24GB of RAM, it can drive the most demanding games or apps you want to throw at it. The advanced cooling system ensures smooth operation even at full power, and the large 7,050mAh battery offers full-day endurance. Throw in a gorgeous AMOLED display, solid shoulder triggers, and a slim design, and pepper to taste, and you have yourself a gamer’s phone.
The RedMagic 10S Pro delivers a worthwhile combination of price and performance relative to the other gaming phones. While it won’t compete on camera quality or software support with the killer devices in the high-end, it isn't supposed to—as it just so happens, it's designed for gaming. Complemented by features such as liquid metal cooling and a high-speed fan, it is the best option for hardcore gamers.
What to Expect in India
Indua has a huge gaming community, with mobile games like BGMI and Free Fire leading the charts. The RedMagic 10S Pro could certainly seduce those people with its gaming-first accessories and premium specs. Featuring a big screen and application of shoulders, it is perfect for competitive gaming and long battery life for long game time. The phone’s high-end materials and unique appearance also make it a totem for gamers who demand to be seen.
But a couple of caveats should be in the minds of would-be purchasers. Nubia’s software updates don’t seem as stout as we expect from bigger brands; this could ultimately lead to a compromise when it comes to how long the phone is viable. The camera system is also serviceable but can’t rival popular camera phones. To those for whom gaming performance trumps all else, such trade-offs are not likely to be deal-breakers.
Final Thoughts
The Nubia RedMagic 10S Pro already looks to be one of the most interesting smartphones to launch in India in 2025. With its mighty Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Edition chip, huge 24GB RAM option, and innovative cooling tech, it's the dream device for gamers on Android on the go. The device is powered with a 7,050mAh battery, and 80W fast charging means that you’ll never have to wait around for the boost you need, and the 144Hz AMOLED display is eye-catching. It’s not great at everything, but it is focused on gaming performance, and that does make it unique in the overcrowded smartphone world.
As Indians drool over the impending launch, the RedMagic 10S Pro is already making waves for its amalgamation of next-generation tech and competitiveness in price. If you casually play games or if you’re a serious gamer, this phone is likely to raise your mobile gaming to the next level. Watch for its release — it’s bound to be a favorite with India’s technically minded teenagers.
