Powerhouse Potential, Game Library Considerations
A key question surrounding the 9S Pro is its game compatibility. While boasting exceptional power, it remains to be seen which upcoming titles will fully utilize its capabilities. Competitors like Apple have already secured next-gen games like Resident Evil 7 and Assassin's Creed Mirage for their mobile devices. The Redmagic 9S Pro will likely initially focus on existing mobile games, including titles from MiHoYo and high-fidelity games such as Call of Duty Warzone Mobile. At a potential price point of around £500, this might not be a sufficient draw for all gamers.
