The Red Magic 6 Pro has made history as the world's first smartphone to ship with a massive 18GB of RAM, and it pairs that headline figure with a 165Hz refresh rate display. Built in partnership with Tencent Games, the Red Magic 6 Pro is a gaming-focused handset that also became the first phone in the world to offer such a high refresh rate display. It launches alongside the standard Red Magic 6, giving the phone lineup two distinct gaming options. For mobile gamers who have long wanted more memory headroom and the smoothest possible visuals, the Red Magic 6 Pro sets a new high-water mark on paper, combining a record-breaking amount of RAM with a refresh rate no other handset had matched at launch.
Red Magic 6 Pro display and gaming features
Both the Red Magic 6 and Red Magic 6 Pro use an AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate. The screens include Touch Korean Grapher technology and intelligent adaptive technology that adjusts the refresh rate to match what you are doing. The response rate is 8ms, which helps gamers play fast-paced titles, while CPHY-DSI technology doubles the transmission rate of high-quality images for smoother visuals.
Cooling, price and availability
Both phones in the Red Magic 6 series feature a new ICE 6.0 multi-dimensional cooling system with a built-in turbofan that the company claims spins at up to 20,000rpm. On pricing, the Red Magic 6 starts at 3,799 Yuan (around 42,760 rupees), while the Red Magic 6 Pro is priced at 4,399 Yuan (about 49,510 rupees). Sales begin in China from March 11, though there is no word yet on a global launch.
Red Magic 6 Pro full specifications
Both phones share a 6.8-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 1080x2400 pixel resolution and are powered by the Snapdragon 888 processor. RAM options go up to 18GB, and storage scales up to 512GB. The devices run the company's own Android-based Red Magic OS 4.0, with an in-display fingerprint sensor and stereo speakers backed by three microphones.

Cameras and battery
Both phones carry a triple rear camera setup led by a 64-megapixel main lens, joined by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. Selfies are handled by an 8-megapixel front camera. The Red Magic 6 Pro packs a 4,500mAh battery with 120W fast charging, while the standard Red Magic 6 uses a larger 5,050mAh battery with 66W fast charging.
Is the Red Magic 6 Pro worth it?
Taken together, the Red Magic 6 Pro is a clear statement of intent for gaming-first buyers. The 18GB of RAM, 165Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 888 processor and ICE 6.0 turbofan cooling are all aimed squarely at sustained, high-performance play, while the 120W fast charging on the Pro model keeps downtime short between sessions. The trade-off is the smaller 4,500mAh battery on the Pro compared with the 5,050mAh cell on the standard Red Magic 6, so buyers who prioritise charging speed over outright capacity will lean toward the Pro. With sales starting in China from March 11 and no confirmed global launch yet, availability remains the main question mark for buyers outside that market.
