Acoustic and Haptic Immersion: How the REDMAGIC 9S Pro Brings Games to Life

When it comes to immersive gaming, people often look at the graphics of a game or device. While graphics do play a major role in immersion for gamers, it’s not the only factor that decides what truly brings these games to life. Therefore, a great gaming device will ensure that its user can be truly immersed in the game using every possible sense. While the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 leading version processor, immaculate ICE 13.5 cooling system, and 6500 mAh superior battery make the REDMAGIC 9S Pro the best gaming phone available, we also know it takes a lot more than that to truly immerse the audience.

The Science of Sound

For many gamers, achieving this immersion is critical to winning, boosting creativity, and connecting to the gameplay. Studies have called this being “in the zone” – which is the psychological intertwining of immersion and flow. One of the best senses to achieve immersion – other than graphics – has always been sound design.

The use of sound to achieve immersive gaming involves the curation of ambient and interactive special effects (SFX). This can include looping sounds to paint a more comprehensive mental image of the surroundings or amplifying sounds caused directly by a player’s movements. These spatial sounds help players identify alerts, targets, or objectives while keeping them immersed in the game. 

Immersive Audio Excellence

Naturally, REDMAGIC knows that sound is critical to creating the ideal immersive gaming experience. This is why the REDMAGIC 9S Pro comes equipped with 3D sound effects using a 1.6cc large chamber to provide crisp, clear, and quality sound. The audio capacity of the gaming phone is optimized entirely with Snapdragon Sound with Qualcomm® aptX™ Lossless technology that retains all of the original content - bit for bit – to ensure music identical to the original recording. The system is designed to deliver lossless audio when users are listening to lossless streaming source content – such as Amazon Music HD – and allows the device to scale back the bitrate in busy RF environments to ensure no dropouts or audio glitches.

Moreover, users can seamlessly optimize their gaming with the Snapdragon Sound feature found in the REDMAGIC 9S Pro. The technology uses end-to-end audio systems for a completely immersive gaming experience designed to fully synchronize your audio experience with the action you see on the screen. Snapdragon Sound also delivers a latency of less than 90 milliseconds to allow you to hear and respond to sound in near-real time. aptX is designed to preserve the integrity of the sound so you can enjoy your game to the max.

The REDMAGIC 9S Pro also boasts a DTS:X Ultra certification – tailored specifically for gaming and Extended Reality (XR) encounters that adds another layer to the audio experience. The DTS:X Ultra technology is designed to support static, multi-channel, and object-based audio to ensure clear and spatial delivery of sound effects – ensuring that every detail and sound will come to life on your REDMAGIC 9S Pro to give you an immersive and exciting gaming experience like no other.

The REDMAGIC 9S Pro supports playback from WAV, AAC, MP3, AMR, FLAC, OGG, and APE. The prestigious gaming phone also boasts impressive dual 1115K speakers that have been designed to provide immersive surround sound, deep bass, and crystal-clear clarity. Noel Campion even went on to commend the sound design of the REDMAGIC 9S Pro by stating that its stereo speakers with loud and clear audio and DTS Ultra certification “provide an immersive in-game audio experience.” 

Campion went on to state that the inclusion of a headphone jack is a welcome feature for wired audio enthusiasts who prioritize low latency and sound quality. He concluded that the REDMAGIC 9S Pro is a solid choice for gamers looking for a high-performance device without breaking the bank and that its powerful chipset, impressive cooling system, and immersive display make it truly formidable.

Feel the Vibes. Feel the Game.

Another key element to immersive gaming has always been the inclusion of haptics – or vibrations. These are electronically generated movements that a user experiences through touching a gaming console or screen that match up to movements, responses, or experiences in a game. Haptic feedback creates a more immersive gaming experience by allowing users to physically feel feedback on their gaming device as they move through the game. Whether you're being punched, falling, or building up to an attack – haptic feedback is integral to pulling you into the game completely. 

According to Medium, people are not connected to a product, but to how it feels in their hands and the perceptions they get from it. Haptic feedback is a way to enhance the user experience and convey information to the user. For gaming phones, haptic feedback improves immersion, engagement, navigation, competitive advantage, and personalization. When combined with visual and audio features, haptic feedback assists in creating a realistic, immersive, and truly enjoyable gaming experience. 

The REDAMGIC 9S Pro emphasizes haptic feedback with a vibration motor that’s 43% bigger and 30% more powerful than its predecessors. The gaming phone is also fine-tuned with 4D haptic feedback for an immersive PUBG Mobile adventure.

Immersion You Can Feel and Hear

For a truly great gaming experience, you need to trust a gaming device that prioritizes immersion along every feature. While the 120Hz refresh rate and 520Hz response triggers ensure stellar graphics splashed across the 6.8-inch bezel-less AMOLED display – the REDMAGIC 9S Pro provides so much more than exceptional visuals when it comes to immersion. This is done by ensuring that your audio and haptic feedback also play a pivotal role in bringing your game to life and keeping you winning.
