EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectations of battery and camera performance) Six months after Redmagic 10 Pro, the 10s model brings minor updates: IP54 element protection, faster clock speed on it's SD 8 Elite chip, AF on it's ultrawide camera, minor AI and software improvements and RGB Led customizable lights on the phone's back (mimicking Asus ROG design). Redmagic 10s Pro is a beautiful piece of tech with flat, square design, bright, 430ppi notch-free screen with small bezels, great tactile buttons and very stable OS with tons of gaming and hardware connection options. The full fledged desktop replacement feature is well implemented and allows for working on a monitor while using phone's screen for other tasks.
Both phones here were scored by me, using the same ten categories, with no ads, sponsorships, or manufacturer relationships — this comparison is as objective and honest as it gets.
