Red Magic has finally made its flagship Red Magic 9 Pro gaming smartphone available in India. This Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered device was initially launched in the global market back in December 2023. That said, the brand is shipping these phones from its global website to Indian customers, so you won’t be able to find these devices in your local market.
As for the pricing, and available configurations, the 12GB + 256GB configuration has a price tag of $649 (₹54,038), whereas the top-end 16GB + 512GB model of the device costs $799 (₹66,528). Customers in India will have to pay some additional taxes. We tried shipping these devices to New Delhi, where the total cost came out to be $895.62 (₹74,573) for the 12GB + 256GB config and $1,102 (₹91,757) for the 16GB + 512GB config.
While these prices may look excessive, the Red Magic 9 Pro will still cost comparatively less than the ROG Phone 8 Pro, which is the only other current-gen gaming smartphone available in India. The ROG Phone 8 Pro has a starting price of ₹94,999 (16GB + 512GB), while the 24GB + 1TB model costs ₹1,19,999.
Red Magic 9 Pro specs:
The Red Magic 9 Pro features a 6.8-inch Full HD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 960Hz touch response rate. The screen supports 10-bit color depth, covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and reaches a brightness of 1600 nits. It includes an in-display fingerprint sensor for security and shoulder triggers for gaming.
Powered by the Octa-Core Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and Adreno 750 GPU, the phone offers multiple RAM and storage options with UFS 4.0 technology. It runs on Android 14 with Redmagic OS 9.0 and supports dual SIM cards. The camera system includes a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 16MP under-display front camera.
