Developed together with Tencent Games, RedMagic announced Tencent
edition of RedMagic 6 and 6 Pro gaming phones, as it had promised. These feature a 6.8-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen with 165Hz refresh rate, 500Hz single finger touch sampling rate and 360Hz multi-finger touch sampling rate with Touch Choreographer, an intelligently adaptive technology that selects the most accurate refresh rate between 60Hz/90Hz/120Hz/165Hz based on your activity, resulting in a more comfortable visual experience and saving battery power.
The response time is as low as 8ms, which makes the device extremely responsive, enabling players to hit and play faster and more accurately, said the company. These have a screen-to-body ratio of 91.28%.
This uses CPHY-DSI Technology for the first time in the industry that increases the transmission rate for high quality images by twice as much as before and uses 20-50% less power. These have 10bit and full DCI-P3. The 6th generation fingerprint sensor under the display unlocks 50% faster compared to the last generation.
Upgraded to ICE 6.0 Cooling System Ensures Top Core Performance
Tencent RedMagic 6 series uses the new ICE 6.0 Multi-dimensional Cooling System with a built-in turbofan. The built-in high-speed centrifugal turbofan can reach up to an astounding 20,000 rpm and the canyon air duct design for airflow increases the air heat transfer coefficient by 500%. There’s also a large copper foil, covering the battery, while a vapor chamber (the world’s thinnest at 0.33mm) sits behind the motherboard, connected by thermal paste. Even the intense graphically demanding games run smooth and cold on Tencent RedMagic 6 Series.
The built-in turbo fan uses a brushless motor, is energy-saving and silent at only 28 decibels, and has a very long working life. This time, the fan blades are increased to 59, and are as thin as 0.1mm, and the maximum speed at the end of a blade is 14m/s. With the air heat transfer coefficient being increased by 500%, the CPU’s core temperature to be reduced by 16℃, ensuring continuous and stable output of the core performance.
The back of the RedMagic 6 Pro adopts an aero-grade heat dissipation ice blade design. The material selected is a high thermal conductivity aviation aluminum alloy material with a thermal conductivity of 200W/(mK). It greatly enhances the heat dissipation and thermal conductivity of the back cover, and can reduce the tactile temperature of the fuselage surface by 3-5 degrees on average.
These are powered by Snapdragon 888 with 5G SA/NSA and run RedMagic OS 4.0 based on Android 11. These have RAM Boost memory compression technology that expands virtual memory, so that 12GB RAM is used like 18GB RAM. The phones have 400Hz Dual Pro Shoulder Triggers and Classic gaming aesthetic design with RGB light strip. The RedMagic 6 Pro has 4500mAh dual cell battery with 120W quick charging that takes 17 minutes to charge and the RedMagic 6 has 5050mAh battery with 66W quick charging.
