Now, speakers are not really something I look for whenever I buy a phone, but I guess years of using flagships have spoiled me. When I had the OnePlus 10 Pro in my hands, I was often disappointed by how its speakers performed. However, with the Redmagic9 Pro, the story changed almost entirely.
The Redmagic 9 Pro's stereo speakers are perhaps the best I have heard in a long, long time. The spears are loud, they are crisp, and they have enough detail that would make you want to use them more. That is why whenever I am playing Call of Duty on the phone, I never really plug in my headphones because the speakers do the job just fine and without any issues.
The same goes for notifications, in general. I was missing out on many of them when I had the OnePlus 10 Pro, but here, the phone ensures I never miss a notification, thanks to how loud the speakers can get. Thankfully, they are loud without being annoying or overbearing. I do miss the Alert Slider, and I wish we could map the Game Space switch to perform different tasks, but this is a very small nitpicking on an otherwise excellent smartphone.

About the author: I have been tinkering with Android devices ever since the early days of the HTC Desire. Over time, I have grown a fondness for the ecosystem and now I cannot live without it. Although some might believe that I have sold my soul to Android, but I believe it is not the case. You can find me writing tutorials and posting guides on a number of different smartphones. When I am not writing here, I am wasting myself away in books, journals, or on Steam.
