RedMagic 9 Pro claims top spot in latest AnTuTu performance chart

RedMagic has "claimed the throne" in terms of the latest AnTuTu charts with a new, 2 million-plus score for its new flagship smartphone the 9 Pro. 

It has beaten other new Android devices like the Vivo X100 and the iQOO 12 series with a total score of 2,188,631 - which, while impressive, is reduced compared to another pre-launch AnTuTu leak linked to the Chinese-market exclusive 9 Pro+. 

Nevertheless, the global 9 Pro is now painted as a class-leading smartphone, due in no small part to its series' signature active fan-based cooling - according to RedMagic, at least. Then again, it might lose its crown to the upcoming Asus ROG Phone 8 series.

Meanwhile, the smartphone has become available on Amazon alongside its 7 and 7S Pro predecessors, starting at $749 for an opaque black unit with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

There are also transparent options with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage for $899 - then again, each price is currently $100 lower on RedMagic's own site.
