What are the shared specs of the two RedMagic 9 Pro series devices?
For the most part, the RedMagic 9 Pro and 9 Pro+ share the majority of their specs. Among these include a 6.8-inch BOE AMOLED panel with a 2480x1116p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel boasts 1600nits of peak brightness and a 2160Hz PWM dimming.
Both devices feature an under-display 16MP front camera as well as an under-display fingerprint sensor which can also monitor your heart rate.
They also have a 50MP Samsung GN5 sensor as a main camera joined by a 50MP ultrawide snapper, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 at the helm, and the updated ICE 13 cooling system which covers 10,182mm2 of the devices.
The next-generation cooling system has a graphene layer below the display and a larger air duct which all contribute to the up to 18° C decrease in running temperature. The system is joined by a fan which now spins at 22,000 RPM and is said to offer 30% better thermal conductivity.
What are the differences between the RedMagic 9 Pro and 9 Pro+?
The major difference between the two devices is in the battery department and charging speeds. The RedMagic 9 Pro has a larger 6500mAh battery but slower wired charging support at just 80W. Meanwhile, the 9 Pro+ has a smaller 5500mAh battery but supports up to 165W wired fast charging.
Moreover, the 9 Pro+ features 16 or 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. The 9 Pro only offers 12BG LPDDR5X RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage.
