Red Magic 5S key specs and highlights

Red Magic 5S sports a similar design but with an improved cooling system. The company used a silver-plated cooling pad dubbed as ICE Ag which should deliver better results than conventional copper heat pipes. In addition, the device retained the 15,000 RPM spinning fan from its predecessor. It helps cool down the phone while charging at its 55W peak speeds.

The device also sports an RGB lighting and capacitive touch triggers with a higher 320Hz touch rate for gamers.

144Hz screen

In the front, the handset uses a large 6.5-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with no notch and slim bezels. It has a 144Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. 

Inside, it is powered by the 7nm Qualcomm-made Snapdragon 865 SoC, 16GB LPDRR5 RAM, 256GB UFS 3.1 storage, and 4,500mAh battery with 55W fast charging.

For cameras, it has 64MP Sony IMX686 main cam, 8MP ultra-wide cam, and a 2MP macro shooter. In the front, it has an 8MP f/2.0 snapper.

The rest is similar to the Red Magic 5G.
