While the 9S Pro boasts impressive power, a key question remains: will the available game library fully utilize its capabilities? Competitors like Apple have successfully secured next-gen titles such as Resident Evil 7 and Assassin's Creed Mirage for their mobile platforms. The Redmagic 9S Pro will likely focus on existing mobile games, including titles from MiHoYo and high-fidelity games like Call of Duty Warzone Mobile. Considering a potential price point comparable to the 9 Pro (around £500), this might not be enough to justify the cost for all gamers.
