RedMagic 12 Pro sets new performance Benchmark for Android devices

Benchmark tests reveal impressive performance. The RedMagic 12 Pro nearly doubled the multi-core score of a Pixel 11 Pro in Geekbench 7 testing and outperformed it in single-core tests. While the iPhone 18 Pro Max edged ahead slightly in single-core performance, the RedMagic 12 Pro was only marginally behind in multi-core tests, representing the highest scores seen by reviewers. Real-world usage confirms these results, with the phone exhibiting exceptional speed and responsiveness.

The phone’s user interface, a blend of Android and iOS elements, provides a smooth and elegant experience. Animations are fluid, app loading is instantaneous, and the near-bezel-less display enhances the immersive feel. Notably, the front-facing camera is seamlessly integrated into the display without a visible pinhole or island.

The device’s design incorporates glass front and back panels, lending a premium feel, alongside customizable RGB lighting zones. AI features, including a call assistant, live translation, and a notepad application, further enhance functionality. A demonstration using the notepad app showcased the device’s remarkable processing speed.

Despite its strengths, the RedMagic 12 Pro’s focus as a gaming phone is somewhat undermined by the inclusion of casual, non-serious games preinstalled. While these can be deleted, their presence detracts from the overall premium experience.

Despite this minor criticism, the RedMagic 12 Pro stands out as a top-tier flagship device, surpassing even Google’s Pixel phones in performance.
