The latest RedMagic 10S Pro is now available outside China, combining high-performance parts with an elaborate cooling solution. This includes the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version, a new chip for game graphics upscaling and a 23,000rpm active cooling fan.

The Leading Version chip has higher clock speeds than the Snapdragon 8 Elite we usually see. The CPU goes up to 4.47GHz (up from 4.32GHz) and the GPU clocks up to 1.2GHz (up from 1.1GHz). The performance of the NPU has been increased by 40%.
For high sustained performance, RedMagic borrowed ideas from gaming PCs. There is 36mm² of liquid metal in direct contact with the chip. This has a higher thermal conductivity than typical compounds and is credited with a 5°C reduction in temperature. The liquid metal guides heat to a 12,000mm² vapor chamber, plus graphene and copper layers, which work together with the high-speed (but quiet) fan to push heat outside. The fan has RGB lighting customizable with up to 15 colors.

The 10S Pro can be configured with up to 24GB of RAM and up to 1TB storage, though note that available options differ by color. There is a detailed price breakdown at the end. Note that the phone launches with RedMagic OS 10.5 based on Android 15.
Besides the cooling fan, another trademark feature of RedMagic devices is the rectangular screen – a custom 6.85” OLED panel from BOE. It has 1216p+ resolution and a refresh rate up to 144Hz, though each game supports different frame rates.
Speaking of, the Snapdragon chip is paired with the RedCore R3 Pro gaming chip. This is responsible for super resolution upscaling to hit 120fps in multiple titles, but also deals with input (for low latency touch detection) and cooling too.
The display has a one finger sampling rate of 2,500Hz, for multiple fingers it is 960Hz. That’s not the only control, though. As usual, RedMagic has included tw
