REDMAGIC introduced its latest gaming phone as “The Chill That Never Quits” due to its upgraded ICE 13 cooling system for uninterrupted gaming sessions. The international version boasts the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and has a flat back with no camera bump for added comfort. The Snapdragon chip offers improved performance (32% increase in CPU and 34% increase in GPU) while reducing power consumption — a win-win for mobile gamers.
The Red Core 2 is a dedicated gaming chip by REDMAGIC, further optimizing the device. Coupled with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, the CPU and GPU power consumption have both been reduced by up to 38%. Toss in a 6500mAh dual-cell battery with 80W super-fast charging, the REDMAIGC Pro 9 gaming smartphone lasts up to 56 hours on a single charge.
The ICE 13 cooling system is a 10-layer cooling system that includes a double-layer super large vapor chamber plate located under the screen. The system also features a high-speed turbofan that operates at just 4DB thanks to its ultra-thin blades, shark fin internal inlet, energy-efficient coil, and metal cover. As REDMAGIC states:
The improved heat dissipation in this phone is achieved through a larger VC area, a straighter air duct, and reduced wind resistance. This prevents heat from being stored centrally at the CPU, allowing the built-in fan with a speed of 22,000 rpm to dissipate the heat faster. As a result, the temperature of the CPU core, which is the main source of heat in the phone, is reduced by up to 25°C compared to the previous generation. This improvement ensures that there is no reduction in CPU frequency due to excessive temperature.
REDMAGIC press release
