RedMagic 10 Pro's $1,499 Golden Saga Phone Is Coming to MWC 2025

From CNET: The $649 RedMagic 10 Pro already has many of the latest features like Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, but at Mobile World Congress 2025 the company plans to show how high-end it can go. RedMagic will show off its $1,499 Golden Saga phone -- which was recently announced and includes gold and silver elements -- alongside a new Mora Pink edition of the RedMagic 10 Pro.

The Golden Saga phone, which is available for preorder ahead of a March 31 ship date, is crafted in gold and has a cooling system that's silver and gold-plated with carbon fiber along with a sapphire glass rear cover. Aside from the higher-end metals, this Golden Saga edition has 24GB of memory and 1TB of space and is powered by the same Snapdragon 8 Elite processor that's in the standard RedMagic 10 Pro. The standard 10 Pro with 24GB and 1TB of storage costs $999 -- $500 less than the Golden Saga.

What's interesting about RedMagic's nearly $1,500 gaming phone is how it stacks up against its rival, the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro. Both have a $1,500 model with 24GB of memory and 1TB of storage -- but only RedMagic's includes gold and silver accents. While RedMagic is hitting that price using these materials, Asus uses a second screen rear LED display that can play simple games.
