The RedMagic 5S is a good choice for people after a dedicated gaming phone. With its high-end components, smart cooling features, and rapid refresh screen, the 5S gives gamers everything they could need. But if you’re not looking for a gaming phone, we’d look elsewhere.

This gaming phone is an eye-catching gaming great available for a very fair price. But that comes with some compromises when it comes to everyday use.

This phone is all about the gaming. The software itself has specialized features, catered to make gaming even better, plus the addition of the built-in triggers is ideal for titles such as Call of Duty Mobile and Fortnite. If you’re looking to take advantage of the 144Hz refresh rate, opt for titles...
