Reviews for the Nubia RedMagic 11S Pro

80% REDMAGIC 11S Pro Review
Source: CG Mag Online English
The REDMAGIC 11S Pro offers plenty as a gaming smartphone that should not break the bank, in relation to other flagship brands—but still requires some tweaks here and there.

80% RedMagic 11S Pro Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
The RedMagic 11S Pro is a further optimised version of the already great RedMagic 11 Pro with immense, flagship-grade performance, solid battery life, and a bright, detailed and zippy screen. It is a fair bit dearer than its predecessors at £709/$849, though, and the dual 50MP camera array isn’t up to snuff for a phone at this price. The normal RedMagic 11 Pro has a lot of the same fundamentals as this 11S Pro, and gives you a similar result for a little bit less in terms of money – it’s only the real power users who will benefit from the extra performance by its overclocked SoC. The new Honor 600 Pro is a more rounded choice at a little bit of a higher price tag, with a much stronger camera system, similarly solid battery life and less polarising looks, although it doesn’t have as much grunt under the hood.
