The RedMagic 8S Pro is an upcoming gaming smartphone, set to be the first device in Malaysia to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 ‘Leading Version’. Starting at RM3,699 with a 14 August launch date, if you’re an early bird you’ll be able to snag it with a RM550 discount.

In conjunction with the launch of the RedMagic 8S Pro, RedMagic Malaysia will be knocking down the price of the RedMagic 8S Pro across the board with a RM550 discount. This first sale promo will start from 14 August and last till 18 August, and will be happening exclusively on the RedMagic Malaysia official store on Shopee.

Here’s how much the RedMagic 8S Pro will be going for during the launch promo on Shopee:

• RedMagic 8S Pro, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage – RM3,699 RM3,149
• RedMagic 8S Pro, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage – RM4,499 RM3,949

As a quick recap, the RedMagic 8S Pro will feature an overclocked Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 dubbed the ‘Leading Version’; it’s essentially similar to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processors found on Samsung’s flagships from this year.

That gets mated to up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, with a 20,000RPM cooling fan keeping things cool. It comes with Android 13 out of the box with RedMagicOS 8.0 skinned over it. The RedMagic 8S Pro is also one of the few smartphones out there with a notchless and cutout-free display, packing a 6.8-inch, FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate capable of a peak brightness of 1300nits.

There’s RGB lighting of course, along with touch sensors on the side to act as shoulder trigger buttons. Other features include a huge 6,000mAh battery with support for 65W fast charging, stereo speakers, a 3.5mm audio jack and a triple rear camera on the back housing a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro sensor while a 16MP under display front camera rounds it off.
