Our reliance on phones has made the demands placed on them higher every day, but perhaps none have to work as hard as a gaming phone. Today REDMAGIC is launching its 12 Pro Plus, and it’s among the first to use the powerful, just-released Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 is the first smartphone processor with a 5GHz CPU, helping the REDMAGIC 12 Pro Plus handle refresh rates in high-action sequences.
