What You See Is What You Get: Exploring the REDMAGIC 10 Pro Screen Performance
When it comes to gaming, what you see truly is what you get. A powerful processor might handle the action, and top-tier speakers may amplify the thrill, but the screen is where the magic happens. The REDMAGIC 10 Pro, with its cutting-edge display technology, delivers a visual feast that makes every frame count to bring the game to life.
As far as specs go, the screen is a 6.85-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a lightning-fast 144Hz refresh rate, and an astonishing touch sampling rate that peaks at 2500Hz. With a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, the screen thrives under most lighting conditions, ensuring immersive visuals for both gaming and everyday use. Let’s dive into how this powerhouse of a screen performs under the scrutiny of benchmarks and the heat of battle.
Breaking Barriers: The World’s First 144Hz Notchless Display
The REDMAGIC 10 Pro is the first smartphone to feature a 144Hz AMOLED display with no interruptions. That means no notches and no punch holes, just pure visual immersion and 144Hz of power. This groundbreaking design is paired with the industry’s largest screen-to-body ratio, an impressive 95.3%.
This not only enhances gaming but also elevates everyday viewing, making movies, apps, and browsing feel seamless and immersive. The expansive, uninterrupted screen truly sets the REDMAGIC 10 Pro apart, delivering a flawless canvas for gaming excellence.
The REDMAGIC & BOE Collaboration That Gave Us Brilliance
The journey to creating the REDMAGIC 10 Pro’s stunning, uninterrupted display was no small feat. Through a partnership with BOE, REDMAGIC was able to achieve the world’s first 144Hz notchless display using a groundbreaking under-display camera design, which required integrating a second screen layer over the main display.
This innovation came after five years of research, a $76M investment, and a meticulous 20-step coating and calibration processes. By blending the two layers seamlessly, we were able to create a solid viewing experience, setting a new standard for full-screen design in smartphones.
Resolution and Refresh Rate: Pushing the Boundaries
The REDMAGIC 10 Pro introduces a higher resolution of 1216 x 2688, falling between traditional FHD+ and 1.5K resolutions. While the difference might not drastically change gaming for fast-paced titles, the review from TechRadar highlights that it provides a sharper visual experience without overburdening the GPU.
Complementing this is a 144Hz refresh rate, up from 120Hz in previous models. Although some competitors offer refresh rates as high as 185Hz, the 144Hz mark is perfect for most games and ensures smoother visuals without compromising frame rates or energy efficiency. Overall, the reviewer gave the REDMAGIC 10 Pro’s display a score of 4/5.
The Brightness Breakthrough
One area where the REDMAGIC 10 Pro sets itself apart is its brightness. While the reviewer’s lab tests found the device’s brightness to be lower than REDMAGIC tests, according to GSMArena, the REDMAGIC 10 Pro achieves a peak brightness that’s 500 nits higher than its predecessor. The reviewer also believes that this time around, REDMAGIC was able to achieve a maximum brightness level that’s suitable for this class of smartphone. This makes the screen perfect for gaming on the go, ensuring that every detail remains visible no matter where you play.

Setting a New Standard for Touch Responsiveness
The REDMAGIC 10 Pro boasts an impressive peak touch sampling rate of 2,500Hz, paired with an average rate of 960Hz. This translates to ultra-responsive touch input, ideal for precise controls and fast-paced gameplay. Compared to competing devices like the ROG Phone 9 Pro, which caps its touch response at 720Hz, the 10 Pro clearly delivers a significant edge in screen responsiveness, ensuring that every tap, swipe, or button press is registered instantly, including with its shoulder buttons.
