Reception
Redmagic's products have been noted for their competitive pricing and gaming-focused innovations. However, reviews often note trade-offs in non-gaming features, such as camera performance and software updates, compared to mainstream smartphones.[19]
The Redmagic 10 Pro, in particular, has drawn attention for its mobile gaming performance at a lower price than competitors, although Wired's product review platform warned that "nongamers should look elsewhere". "Assuming you don’t mind the enormous, angular design, which isn’t very pocket-friendly, you may balk at the slightly janky software, the inconsistent camera performance, or the lack of wireless charging," the review said.[20]
