The Vivo S20 series was just announced in China with a price tag that rivals the Oppo Reno 13 series. So now, here’s a comparison between the higher end Vivo S20 Pro and Oppo Reno 13 Pro. So here’s everything we need to know.
1. Vivo S20 Pro or Oppo Reno 13 Pro: Design & Display
Vivo S20 Pro
Oppo recently released the Reno 13 Pro with an attractive new design. The device measures a slim 7.6mm and is built using a glass back and aluminum alloy frame. This adds to its premium feel, while the front sports a tall 6.83-inch AMOLED display. This screen offers a 120Hz refresh rate, 1.5K resolution, and 1200 nits of peak brightness.
On the other hand, the Vivo S20 Pro features a plastic middle frame but has a marginally slimmer 7.43mm body. So the Reno 13 Pro clearly has an edge in terms of design, but the display is based on preference. 6.83 inches is quite tall and some might prefer the Vivo S20 Pro’s smaller 6.67-inch screen. This is a Q10 OLED panel from BOE that offers 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an impressive peak brightness of 5,000 nits.
2. Performance
Oppo Reno 13 Pro
The Oppo Reno 13 Pro is equipped with MediaTek’s new Dimensity 8350 SoC. This is a mid range processor that is paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage. On the other hand, the Vivo S20 Pro is a budget flagship phone that features MediaTek’s flagship grade Dimensity 9300+ SoC. So the latter clearly offers better performance overall.
3. Battery & Fast Charging
This model is powered by a sizeable 5,500mAh battery pack, which supports 90W wired fast charging. Meanwhile, the Reno 13 Pro has a slightly larger 5,800mAh cell that supports 80W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. Wireless charging is an important feature to some users, so this could also be an important factor to consider when choosing between the two models.
4. Verdict
Oppo Reno 13 Pro
Both the Vivo S20 Pro and Oppo Reno 13 Pro have a starting price tag of 3,399 Yuan or about 469 US Dollars for the 12GB + 256GB models. For this price, the Reno model offers wireless fast charging, a more premium design, higher IP69 rating for water and dust resistance, and a slightly larger battery pack.
On the other hand, Vivo’s budget friendly flagship packs a more powerful chipset, three 50MP cameras, thinner body, and a screen that’s not too tall. So if performance isn’t too important to you, the Reno 13 Pro may seem like a better package overall. However, for mobile gaming enthusiasts or those who don’t prefer a large device, the Vivo S20 Pro may seem like the better value.
Xiaomi launched its highly anticipated 2024 flagship, the Xiaomi 15 series, in China back in October. Powered by the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the series introduced major upgrades in both design and performance.
While the phone has only been available in the Chinese market until now, a recent listing on the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) certification site suggests that a global launch could be just around the corner.
Xiaomi 15 FCC listing hints imminent global launch
The listing reveals that the global version of the Xiaomi 15 will come in two variants: 12GB RAM with 256GB of storage, and 12GB RAM with 512GB of storage. Significant in context, the Chinese version is available with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage, which makes the global version a bit inconvenient for the extreme power users.
Other than that, the device will feature Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.0, based on Android 15, signaling an enhanced software experience.
The FCC listing further confirms that the device has passed essential communications and security tests, which are required for it to be sold in markets like the US.
What to expect from the Xiaomi 15 global version?
While specific details about the global version of the Xiaomi 15 remain limited, we can expect it to largely mirror the features of the Chinese model. Here’s what we know so far:
The Xiaomi 15 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, built on TSMC’s 3nm process. This includes a custom Oryon core running at a clock speed of 4.32 GHz, paired with an Adreno 830 GPU for excellent gaming and processing performance.
The global variant will feature a 6.36-inch LTPO OLED display with a resolution of 1200 x 2670 pixels. The screen supports dynamic refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz and offers a peak brightness of 3200 nits, along with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ certifications for an exceptional viewing experience.
As for the cameras, the Xiaomi 15 will come with a triple setup on the back, each sensor offering 50 MP resolution. This includes wide-angle, ultra-wide, and 3x telephoto lenses. For context, the Pro model‘s camera setup differs only in the telephoto lens, which offers a longer 5x optical zoom.
Battery and charging wise, the standard model gets a substantial upgrade: a 5,400 mAh cell, up from the 4,610 mAh battery in the Xiaomi 14. It also supports fast 90W wired charging, along with 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging.
The Xiaomi 15 series runs on Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.0, which is based on Android 15, bringing new AI-driven features and a refined user interface.
Although the global release date has not been confirmed, based on Xiaomi’s release patterns, it is likely that the Xiaomi 15 series will launch in February or March 2025, following the launch of the Xiaomi 14 series earlier this year.
Earlier this month, Nubia unleashed the Red Magic 10 Pro series, rocking the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the latest and greatest from Qualcomm. The lineup consists of two phones: Red Magic 10 Pro and Red Magic 10 Pro+ (full review). Both of them are solid gaming phones, probably the best you can have right now for the ultimate smartphone gaming experience.
While both gaming powerhouses share the same DNA, there are some key differences that set them apart. In this article, we’ll explore those key differences to help you decide if the Plus model is worth going after.
There is not much difference between the latest Red Magic models. The main difference is the battery capacity and charging speed — the Red Magic 10 Pro has a 6,500mAh capacity with 80W fast charging, while the 10 Pro+ has a bigger 7,050mAh battery with 120W fast charging support.
The gaming powerhouses also share differences in the RAM and storage capacities, with the more premium model offering larger configurations. The standard Red Magic 10 Pro packs 256GB or 512GB storage paired with 12GB RAM, while the Pro+ either comes in 512GB or 1TB with 16GB or 24GB of RAM. However, there are no differences in RAM and storage technologies, as all configurations use LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 Pro storage. Here’s how these configurations are priced at:
Red Magic 10 Pro (12GB/256GB) – CNY 5299 (~INR 62,000/$735)
Red Magic 10 Pro (12GB/512GB) – CNY 5799 (~INR 68,000/$800)
Red Magic 10 Pro+ (16GB/512GB) – CNY 5999 (~INR 70,000/$830)
Red Magic 10 Pro+ (24GB/1TB) – CNY 7499 (~INR 87,500/$1040)
The rest of everything, including the design, is the same on both devices. It’s practically impossible to differentiate the two just by looking at them. Both Red Magic 10 Pro models have aluminum frames, while the front and back are made of glass. They have a 6.85-inch AMOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and 2000nits of peak brightness. The display has protection, though it is unspecified by the Nubia.
The gaming beasts are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is arguably the most powerful chip for Android devices, combined with the fastest RAM and storage to offer exceptional performance. The added gaming features and software optimizations further improves the gaming experience.
The camera specs are also unchanged. Both have three sensors on the back: a 50MP primary sensor (with OIS), a 50MP ultrawide shooter, and a 2MP macro shooter. The other side houses a 16MP selfie shooter. The devices allow 8K video recording using the rear cameras, while only 1080p with the front camera.
An excellent gaming phone must have solid connectivity features, and both Red Magic 10 Pro models excel in this area. The gaming phones support the newest Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 technologies, along with a fast USB type-C port with DisplayPort functionality.
Which one should you choose?
As the two don’t really bring much differences, picking one should be easy. If you want extended gaming sessions without needing to plug in frequently, go for the Plus model. However, the standard model, with its substantial 6,500mAh battery, is still an excellent option.
The storage and RAM requirements are also crucial as they vary depending on your gaming needs. The standard model offers up to 512GB storage and 12GB RAM, which is sufficient for most users. But if you need more power and storage, the Plus model is a clear winner.

Oppo recently unveiled the Reno 13 and 13 Pro in China, offering a refined design and exciting new software features. While these phones are currently exclusive to the Chinese market, it appears that global availability could be just around the corner.
The Oppo Reno 13 Pro has been spotted on multiple certification platforms outside China, including India’s BIS and UAE’s TDRA (with model number CPH2697), suggesting an imminent global launch. With certification listings in India and the UAE, it’s likely that the Reno 13 Pro will hit global markets, including India, in the coming months.

A larger 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 1272 x 2800 resolution, offering a 120Hz refresh rate and 1200 nits of peak brightness. This is a bigger screen compared to the 6.7-inch panel on the Reno 12 Pro.
The phone is the first to ship with the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 SoC, which might be a step down from the Dimensity 9200+ found in the Reno 12 Pro but still promises solid performance.
As for the cameras, the phone is expected to feature a powerful 50MP+50MP+8MP triple-camera setup with 3.5x optical zoom and ultrawide capabilities. For selfies, you’ll get a 50MP front camera, making it one of the most powerful selfie shooters in its category.
On the inside, there’s a 5,800mAh battery (up from 5000mAh of the Reno 12 Pro) that supports 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. It means reasonably lower downtime paired with longer battery life, which is one of the key aspects of a good user experience.
Design-wise, the phone features a sleek look with flat sides and rounded edges. It’s expected to come in Black, Purple, and Pink colors, and could also sport an IP66+68+69 rating, making it water-resistant.
In China, the Reno 13 series starts at 2699 yuan (₹31,429), with the Reno 13 Pro priced at 3399 yuan (₹39,581). While pricing for the Indian market is not confirmed, tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore suggests the Reno 13’s Indian variant will be priced similarly to the Reno 12, starting at around ₹32,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra towards the end of September this year. Now the highly anticipated Galaxy Tab S10 FE series appears to be on the horizon, as the company has officially listed these tablets on its US website.
This suggests that the launch of the affordable tablet lineup could be just around the corner. The new FE branded tablet will likely target consumers looking for a more budget-friendly alternative to the flagship Galaxy Tab S10 range.
The mention of the Galaxy Tab S10 FE series on Samsung’s official website is a significant development, as it marks the first official recognition of these tablets. While Samsung hasn’t disclosed specific details about the devices yet, there’s a notable promotion on the website that offers US customers free one-year access to Goodnotes, a popular note-taking app for Android, for those who purchase and activate any Galaxy Tab S10 or Tab S10 FE models by July 31, 2025. This further confirms that the FE series launch is imminent.
What to expect from the Galaxy Tab S10 FE?
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE lineup is expected to follow the strategy of its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series, which launched in October 2023 and included two models: the regular Tab S9 FE and the slightly more expensive Tab S9 FE+. It’s likely that the upcoming Tab S10 FE series will follow a similar approach, offering at least two models to cater to different price points.
Tab S10 FE models will likely continue to use the Exynos chipset, with speculations pointing toward the Exynos 1580, which is also expected to power the upcoming Galaxy A56. This would be an upgrade from the Exynos 1380 used in the Tab S9 FE series, suggesting improved performance and efficiency.
There are also rumors that the Tab S10 FE series could feature a 12MP primary camera, a significant upgrade from the 8MP lens found in the Tab S9 FE models. This would likely improve the overall camera experience, making it more suitable for casual photography and video calls.
If the pricing follows the same trend as the Tab S9 FE series, expect the base model to be priced around ₹36,999 in India, with the higher-end FE+ model possibly reaching ₹46,999.
First up, the Xiaomi 15 Pro, we all love Xiaomi products, especially the flagship phones every year. The 15 Pro this year has earned our favor as the flagship phone that is the closest to perfection. And if you are wondering about the reasons, there are:
Snapdragon 8 Elite, USB 3.2 Gen2
6.7 inches 2K resolution display, 1700nits peak brightness, much less power-hungry display panel
These are the best hardware you can see on flagships, also you can’t go wrong with the photography capability on Xiaomi, After so many years of shooting photos on Xiaomi, we love the pure Leica-style look, and you will too. And now the HyperOS 2.0 is much smoother than before, plus the AI features are coming along, you really can’t find many flaws on this 15 Pro. Unless you want to buy the shiny glossy water texture colorway, but make sure you get a case for it. So if you are looking to buy it right now, you can get it on Geekwills, coupon code is here.
Next, the Oneplus 13. We know there are still a lot of die-hard OnePlus fans out there, so the 13 this year is a new gen that you really can’t pass by. Other than the screen being micro-curved and more eye-protective, the frame has also been flattened, so the overall feel of holding it has finally changed. Also, the texture and the pattern of the back on each colorway are very different, paired up with some good-looking cases, they still have the Oneplus characters.
The hardware is also head-to-head with other flagships
Snapdragon 8 Elite, UFS 4.0 flash storage, a really big cooling system
6000mAh battery, and 100W wired and 50W wireless charging
The camera system is as top-notch as before, you can’t go wrong with good hardware and Hasselblad imaging. Surprisingly, it also supports IP68 and 69 weather resistance. So I would say the Oneplus 13 and the Xiaomi 15 Pro are the two flagships we recommend the most, nonetheless, Oneplus 13 is cheaper. Which one to go with, it all depends on you, the discount code is here.
Now when it comes to sub-flagship, the major contender is the IQOO 13. And a lot of you are asking about the full review, well let’s see if we make a comparison with other phones. Before that, you can still make a purchase of this phone without any worries, only if you want the performance only.
It still has the Snapdragon 8 Elite, plus the Q2 gaming chip, 2.5D 6.82 inches 2k 144Hz screen, so it is fully capable of being used as a pure gaming phone.
It also has a 6150mAh battery, 120W charging and bypass charging, good enough for a long time gaming or daily use.
The most unique thing about this gen is the light ring around the camera module, it will light up differently in many situations.
Speaking about the cameras, some of you said the photos we took still look good, well yes, if you practice, you can still take good-looking photos with this phone. So overall other than the cameras being a bit behind the flagships, you still have a very powerful phone if you pick the IQOO 13, and it’s priced at $599, very good deal. The discount code is here.
Now the next phone is one that we haven’t reviewed, but still a good budget option for many people, which is the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus. This phone has a much better design in my opinion, the details are mainly in the camera deco and the back panel, I would say it is much in line with some flagships. And one major highlight of it is the drop and water resistance, it comes with Corning Gorilla Glass at the front and back, also a lot of special structures inside, so it can withstand a 1.8m of drop and IP68 waterproofing.
It is driven by the Snapdragon 7S Gen 3, a mid-range chip, but good enough for daily use or mid to low-demand gaming.
It also has 1.5K eye-protection display, 120Hz refresh rate, 3000nits peak brightness.
The battery is 6200mAh, with 90W fast charging.
It also supports wet hand, oily hand touch control, so no worry in those situations.
For imaging, it has a triple camera setup, a combo that has a performance beyond its price range.
So overall, the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus is a phone that is far better than before, much like a sub-flagship, with a price of 200 dollars range. I think you already have an answer to whom this phone is for, and there is a discount below.
Moving on to the tablet category, the long-awaited Lenovo Legion Y700 2024 is the one that a lot of you wanted. Even before our review, a lot of fans had made their purchase, it really shows the love of this tablet. So why is it so popular?
Mainly because it has a perfect 8.8-inch size with a powerful 8 Gen3 chipset inside, 12GB or 16GB LPDDR5X Ram, and 256GB storage.

The Vivo S20 Pro and Redmi K80 Pro are two high-end smartphones recently launched in China, each bringing powerful features and cutting-edge technology to the table. While both cater to premium users, they have distinct differences in display, performance, cameras, battery life, and design. Here’s a detailed comparison to help you decide which device suits your needs.
The Vivo S20 Pro features a 6.67-inch 1.5K AMOLED quad-curved screen with HDR10+ support, a 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 5000 nits of peak brightness.
It utilizes BOE’s advanced Q10 panel, providing excellent color reproduction and 2160Hz PWM dimming for reduced eye strain. Its slim profile of 7.43mm and weight of 193g make it sleek and lightweight.
In contrast, the Redmi K80 Pro offers a 6.67-inch 2K AMOLED flat screen, jointly developed with TCL. It supports HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and 12-bit color for an ultra-vivid visual experience.
While its peak brightness reaches 3200 nits, slightly lower than the Vivo S20 Pro, the ultra-narrow bottom bezel adds to its modern design. The Redmi K80 Pro is slightly thicker (8.39mm) and heavier (212g) but offers higher durability with IP68 + IP69 ratings, making it water and dust-resistant.
2. Design
The Vivo S20 Pro is available in several elegant colors: Phoenix Feather Gold, Purple Air from the East, Jade Dew White, and Pine Smoke Ink. Its design features sophisticated photolithography and embroidery, enhancing its premium aesthetic.
The Redmi K80 Pro offers premium durability with a glass back and metal frame. It comes in sleek Snow Rock White, Mountain Green, and Mysterious Night Black color options, plus an exclusive Automobili Lamborghini Squadra Corse Champion Edition.
3. Performance
Under the hood, the Vivo S20 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ SoC, a 4nm chipset with the Immortalis-G720 GPU. It promises stellar performance and achieves an impressive AnTuTu score of 2.25 million points. The device equips 12GB / 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and sports up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
In contrast, the Redmi K80 Pro features the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC and a D1 gaming chip, delivering top-notch performance. It comes with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and equips up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage for blazing-fast data speeds. The device sports an advanced cooling system with a vapor-liquid separation design and a 5400mm² cooling area for effective thermal management. Additionally, it features Xiaomi’s T1S signal enhancement chip to ensure strong and reliable connectivity.
The Redmi K80 Pro is a complete winner here due to its Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and faster UFS 4.0 storage. Its superior cooling system also makes it a better choice for heavy gamers.
4. Cameras
The Vivo S20 Pro boasts a 50MP Sony IMX921 primary sensor with OIS, ensuring sharp and stable shots. It includes a 50MP ultra-wide camera and a 50MP IMX882 periscope telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom and CIPA4.5 stabilization. The device features Aura Light technology to improve low-light photography and is equipped with a 50MP front camera with autofocus for crisp, high-quality selfies.
In contrast, the Redmi K80 Pro is powered by a 50MP Light Fusion 800 sensor with both OIS and EIS for exceptional image stability. It includes a 32MP ultra-wide camera and a 50MP 2.5x floating telephoto lens. The device supports 8K video recording and boasts movie-grade dynamic range with Xiaomi AISP 2.0, enhancing computational photography. However, it is equipped with a 20MP front camera, which is less advanced compared to the Vivo S20 Pro.
The Vivo S20 Pro shines with consistent performance across all three rear cameras, while the Redmi K80 Pro excels in advanced image processing capabilities.
5. Battery and Charging
Both phones boast large batteries with fast charging capabilities. The Vivo S20 Pro comes equipped with a 5500mAh battery supporting 90W fast charging, which promises rapid recharge times.
On the other hand, the Redmi K80 Pro includes a massive 6000mAh battery with even faster 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, providing not only quick charging but also the convenience of wireless charging.
6. Software and Additional Features
The Vivo S20 Pro runs Android 15 with OriginOS 5, providing a smooth and customizable user experience. It features an in-display optical fingerprint sensor and Hi-Res audio.
The Redmi K80 Pro runs Xiaomi HyperOS 2.0 based on Android, offering a clean interface. It includes a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for faster and more accurate biometric authentication.
Both phones feature advanced connectivity options with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and multiple navigation systems.
7. Pricing
The Vivo S20 Pro is priced at 3,399 yuan ($469) for the 12GB + 256GB variant, with the 16GB + 512GB model costing 3,999 yuan ($551). On the other hand, the Redmi K80 Pro starts at 3,699 yuan ($510) for the 12GB + 256GB option, going up to 4,799 yuan ($662) for the 16GB + 1TB version.

8. Conclusion
The Vivo S20 Pro and Redmi K80 Pro both bring impressive features to the table, catering to distinct user preferences. The Vivo S20 Pro stands out with its elegant design, brighter display, and consistent camera performance, making it a strong choice for users who prioritize aesthetics and photography. On the other hand, the Redmi K80 Pro shines with its powerful performance, advanced cooling system, superior fast charging options, and robust durability, making it ideal for gamers and power users.
Choosing between the two depends on individual needs. If you value design and affordability, the Vivo S20 Pro is a compelling option. However, for those who need raw power, enhanced durability, and extra features like wireless charging, the Redmi K80 Pro is worth the higher price.
REDMI launched its performance-oriented K80 and K80 Pro phones on November 27 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite chips respectively. Now Xiaomi has officially announced that REDMI K80/Pro refreshed the K series’ first-sale record, exceeding 660,000 units in one day (statistical time is up to 24:00 on November 28, 2024).
RDMI K80 / K80 Pro specs and price:
The entire series is equipped with a 2K 6.67-inch screen consisting of customized M9 luminous material. This is paired with an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor (on both models), which is an upgrade from the optical fingerprint sensor of the predecessors.
On the inside, both phones now house much bigger batteries – 6000mAh on the K80 and 6550mAh on the K80 Pro, up from 5000mAh of the predecessors. Surprisingly, this year’s Pro model, despite housing a massive battery, supports 90W wired charging, down from 120W of its predecessors (at least on paper).
As for the cameras, the K80 Pro now boasts a 2.5x telephoto (50MP), up from 2x of its predecessor. The ultrawide also has 32MP resolution, up from 12MP of the K70 Pro. So you can expect sharper images whether you want to zoom in or out.
The standard model is a lot similar to its predecessor though, with a 50MP main and 8MP ultrawide. REDMI has ditched the useless 2MP macro camera making a better use of your money and the space inside.
In terms of in-hand experience, despite packing a massive jump in battery capacity, both phones weigh almost the same, thanks to the new Si/C battery technology. Besides sticking to the flat design, the company has also opted for a circular camera module this time around.
The 12GB + 256GB version of the REDMI K80 and K80 Pro is priced at 2,499 Yuan ($346) and 3,699 Yuan ($511) respectively.
While I shared the notable changes REDMI made this year, you can learn more about the standard and Pro models here.
Redmi‘s K series has always been about packing a performance punch at a competitive price. This year, however, things seem to be shifting. The K80 and K80 Pro arrive with a new design language, a focus on premium materials, and a price tag that might surprise longtime K-series fans. We got our hands on both phones in China shortly after launch, and here are our first impressions.
The first thing you’ll notice is the packaging redesign. Gone is the familiar black box; the K80 series comes in a sleek white container with a redesigned, more minimalist Redmi logo.
Inside, it’s business as usual: phone, case, charger, and a SIM ejector tool. The K80 Pro boasts a 120W charger, while the standard K80 sticks with a 90W adapter.
Redmi K80 / K80 Pro unboxing and hands-on
Visually, the K80 series makes a departure from previous iterations. Both phones ditch the previous design for a look that closely resembles the Xiaomi Civi 4, with a prominent circular camera island on the left.
The standard K80 we received comes in white with a frosted finish that hides a flat, glossy back panel (fingerprints, anyone?). The K80 Pro, on the other hand, sports a more comfortable 2.5D curved back in black.
Thankfully, both phones share a 2K 6.67-inch panel with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3200 nits. Those specs put them right up there with the Xiaomi 15 Pro, and the bezels look minimal as well.
Under the hood, the differences become more apparent. The K80 Pro boasts the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, while the standard K80 uses the still-capable Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Camera-wise, the Pro features a 50MP main sensor with a more versatile triple-camera setup. The K80 keeps things simple with a decent 50MP dual-camera system.
This is just a first look, of course. We’re putting both phones through their paces to see how the performance, camera quality, and battery life hold up in our full review. Stay tuned.
The gaming phone market has been heating up, and if you’re a gamer looking for the ultimate mobile gaming experience, the Red Magic 10 Pro Plus is here to steal the show. But how does it stack up against other phones in this niche, including the ASUS ROG 9 Pro? Let’s dive into the details of the Red Magic 10 Pro Plus in our comprehensive review, now live on our channel!
When it comes to design, the Red Magic 10 Pro Plus doesn’t look as “gamer-centric” as its predecessors. The low-profile Black version we tested hides its RGB elements, making it look like an ordinary smartphone until you power it up for gaming.
The body is slightly larger but still very comfortable to hold, with rounded corners that make using the triggers feel a bit more comfortable than last year. The fan and cooling vents are still present, though the noise has been dialed up by around 10% with an increase in fan RPM.
While the 10 Pro Plus retains key features like the NFC, headphone jack, and trigger buttons, some of the features gamers may want—such as wireless charging and telephoto cameras—are still absent. However, despite a lack of significant changes to its design, the Red Magic 10 Pro Plus still feels like a powerhouse of a gaming device.
6. Display: a visual delight for gamers
Red Magic never had the best display compared to other flagships, but the 10 Pro Plus this year made massive strides in this area, thanks to the improved display that rests in front of the under-screen camera. The resolution, refresh rate, and peak brightness have all been significantly improved.
The bezels are narrower, bringing the display closer to flagship standards, and the refresh rate stays at a smooth 120Hz in most non-gaming apps. While there’s a slight regret with a slightly wider lower bezel, the display quality is nothing short of fantastic—especially for gaming.
For most, the Red Magic 10 Pro Plus’s screen should be more than sufficient, offering fantastic gaming visuals and an overall polished look.
5. Performance: unbeatable gaming power
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and featuring liquid metal thermal compound, the 10 Pro Plus delivers exceptional gaming performance.
Playing demanding games like Genshin Impact is now a breeze, and with frame interpolation and AI-enhanced image quality, you can enjoy 120 FPS at 2K resolution. While there’s a bit of temperature increase when both features are turned on, the performance is still impressive. The addition of controller support makes long gaming sessions even better. In our testing, the fan didn’t even turn on while testing Genshin Impact whine the frame interpolation and the upscaling were off.
4. Gaming features:
Red Magic knows what gamers need, and they’ve included a ton of customizable options to ensure the best gaming experience. From voice changers to aim assist and bypass charging, the 10 Pro Plus offers a comprehensive set of tools to help you game at your best. The game space feature is one of the most robust settings, providing customization for all your gameplay needs.
One standout feature is the ability to play games like Genshin Impact at 2K resolution on an external monitor, which makes the 10 Pro Plus not just a great mobile gaming device but a versatile one.
3. Camera: gaming over photography
Let’s be real—gaming phones aren’t known for their photography prowess, and the Red Magic 10 Pro Plus is no exception. The cameras, while functional, won’t blow you away. They work well for casual shots, but if photography is a priority for you, this may not be the phone to choose. The automatic exposure does an okay job, but for more serious photography needs, you’ll want to look elsewhere.
2. Battery and charging:
With a 7,000mAh battery, the Red Magic 10 Pro Plus feels like a beast. The phone lasts impressively long, even with heavy gaming sessions. Charging is fast too, with 120W wired charging that can fully recharge the device in just around 30 minutes. Additionally, the phone can be used to charge other devices at 7W, making it almost like a portable power bank. Whether you’re gaming or using the phone for everyday tasks, the battery life and fast charging make it a top-tier choice.
1. Conclusion: should you buy the Red Magic 10 Pro Plus?
So, should you consider upgrading to the Red Magic 10 Pro Plus? If you’re looking for a top-of-the-line mobile gaming experience, this phone is a must-have. It excels in performance, display, and battery life—three areas crucial for gaming enthusiasts. While the camera and some design features might not be ideal for everyone, the overall experience is unmatched.
If you already own the previous Red Magic 9S Pro, the upgrades in the 10 Pro Plus may not feel revolutionary unless you’re after a better display and bigger battery. But for those new to the Red Magic line or gamers who demand the best, the 10 Pro Plus is a fantastic choice.
You can grab the Red Magic 10 Pro Plus from Geekwills and get your hands on this beast of a phone.

Redmi recently unveiled its newest flagship smartphone, the K80 Pro. The K-series has carved a niche for itself by offering high-end specs at a competitive price point. This year’s K80 Pro promises to be even more compelling due to a strategic shift by Redmi.
Redmi is elevating the K-series to become its premium offering, effectively bridging the gap between Xiaomi’s top-of-the-line numbered series, like the Xiaomi 15. The shift makes the K80 Pro a more premium device than its predecessors.
With these changes in mind, let’s delve into a detailed comparison of the Redmi K80 Pro and its predecessor, the Redmi K70 Pro, to see how they stack up.
Both phones boast a large, 6.67-inch OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. While both offer 2K resolution display, the K80 Pro includes Longjing Glass 2 for added front protection, whereas the K70 Pro lacks any hardened glass protection.
However, the K70 Pro takes the edge in terms of peak brightness, 4000 nits compared to the K80 Pro’s 3200 nits. The difference is unlikely to be noticeable in everyday use.
The K80 Pro also features the next-generation ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under the display, while the K70 Pro utilizes a more traditional optical sensor.
The design language across the two generations remains fairly similar. Both phones are relatively bulky, with the K80 Pro weighing slightly more at 212g compared to the K70 Pro’s 209g. The extra weight likely comes from the K80 Pro’s larger battery.
An interesting change is the K80 Pro has IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance rating, which the K70 Pro lacked. This means the K80 Pro can survive a dunk in up to 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes.
2. Performance
Perhaps the biggest difference between the two phones lies in the heart of the device – the processor. The K80 Pro comes with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite (3nm), while the K70 Pro features the still-powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4nm).
The new chip can reach a clock speed of a staggering 4.32GHz and is claimed to deliver a 45% improvement in multi-core performance while consuming 52% less power.
Additionally, the K80 Pro features an in-house D1 chip, which handles super-resolution, frame generation, and “super HDR” for games. The chip helps boost frame rates in demanding games and reduces the load on the Snapdragon, resulting in lower power consumption.
Both phones include effective cooling systems to manage heat. The K70 Pro uses a 5000 mm² heat-dispersing area with a vapor chamber, while the K80 Pro is equipped with a new 3D dual-loop vapor chamber, which is said to lower temperatures by up to 3°C.
3. Camera Systems
Both phones sport triple-lens rear camera systems with a 50MP main sensor. However, the K70 Pro’s telephoto lens lacks OIS (optical image stabilization) compared to the K80 Pro, which might result in slightly shakier zoomed-in photos.
The K70 Pro also has a lower resolution (12MP) ultrawide sensor compared to the K80 Pro’s 32MP offering. The selfie cameras differ slightly as well, with the K80 Pro sporting a higher resolution 20MP sensor compared to the K70 Pro’s 16MP option.
4. Battery Life and Charging
The K80 Pro comes with a larger 6000mAh battery, compared to the K70 Pro’s 5000mAh capacity. Both phones support 120W wired fast charging, but the K70 Pro charges fully in just 18 minutes due to its smaller battery. In contrast, the K80 Pro takes 28 minutes to reach 100%. Additionally, the K80 Pro includes 50W wireless charging which is missing from the K70 Pro.
5. The Verdict
The Redmi K80 Pro is a clear evolution over the K70 Pro. It offers a more powerful processor, better battery life, faster charging, and camera upgrades.
However, these upgrades come with a price increase. The K80 Pro starts at 3,700 yuan for the base 12/256GB model, which is 400 yuan more than the K70 Pro’s launch price. Even so, it remains more affordable than many other Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered phones, making it an excellent choice for those seeking latest tech without spending that much.
