Powerhouse Potential, Game Library Considerations

While the 9S Pro boasts exceptional processing power, a key question remains: will the available game library fully utilize its capabilities? Competitors like Apple have successfully secured recent AAA titles like Resident Evil 7 and Assassin's Creed Mirage for their mobile devices. The Redmagic 9S Pro will likely focus on existing mobile games, including titles from MiHoYo and high-fidelity options such as Call of Duty Warzone Mobile. Considering a potential price point around £500 (if comparable to the 9 Pro), this might not be enough to sway all gamers.
