The subsequent REDMAGIC 6 series, launched in 2021, is the first smartphone to include a display with a 165Hz refresh rate, as well as an improved cooling fan (up to 18,500 Tr/min instead of 16,000).[6]

Towards the end of 2023, REDMAGIC unveiled the REDMAGIC 9 Pro, featuring Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a 6,500 mAh battery and the ICE 13 cooling system capable of lowering down the device temperature by up to 18°C.[8]
