Day to day, we’re all exposed to screens. From work to leisure, a large chunk of your life is spent staring at your computer screen or scrolling on your phone for hours on end. Studies show that globally, people average 6 hours and 40 minutes of screen time per day. Now, you might be thinking about the psychological and antisocial aspects of this sobering statistic, which are valid; however, people often overlook the much more literal and direct harm caused by the screens themselves. More specifically, the blue light that is being emitted.
As a gaming smartphone and electronics brand that markets many of the devices you might find yourself glued to each day, we at REDMAGIC believe that it is our responsibility to reduce the negative impact of blue light emissions and effects. In this blog article, we take a look at the stellar display of our REDMAGIC 10S Pro and its dazzling capabilities while also focusing on how it was engineered to reduce blue light and eye fatigue, all without compromising on gaming capacity and features. For now, let’s look into what blue light is and how it can be harmful.
Harmful Excessive Blue Light Exposure
By definition, blue light is a type of light that the human eye can see. It also has the shortest wavelength and highest energy. Around a third of all visible light is considered blue light. The biggest source of blue light is from the sun, but it can also come from artificial sources in smaller amounts, such as fluorescent lights, LED screens, computer monitors, smartphones, and tablet screens. However, our eyes aren’t well equipped to filter out blue light the way they can protect the eye from certain damaging lights, which is what makes it so dangerous.

Naturally, we know that staring directly at the sun will damage your eyes, and while the blue light we get from screens is much lower, it can still have harmful effects. According to the University of California’s Davis Health blog, constant exposure to blue light over time could damage retinal cells, causing vision problems and being linked to cataracts and eye cancer. Commonly, constant blue light exposure leads to dry eyes and eye strain, which in turn may lead to headaches, blurred vision, and neck and shoulder pain.
Now, we don’t want you to start throwing devices into garbage cans just yet because there are actionable ways to drastically reduce the harmful effects of blue light exposure over time. The simplest would be to avoid spending too much time in front of screens. However, that can be quite difficult in the modern world. This is why we feel that the onus falls on manufacturers to install the correct safeguards and limitations to reduce the impact of harmful blue light exposure. At REDMAGIC, we are committed to creating powerhouse gaming devices that will not compromise your health. So now, let’s look at how we’ve put that dedication into practice with our latest 10S Pro.
The REDMAGIC 10S Pro: A Display That Delivers
Our REDMAGIC 10S Pro has already made waves across the industry and boasts a variety of unique, ungraded, and new features that make it a generational gaming smartphone. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version and our RedCore R3 Pro chip, the 10S Pro easily elevates performance to new heights. Our specialized and enhanced ICE-X cooling system with repositioned liquid metal 2.0 also helps to ensure smooth gameplay, rapid processing, and efficient heat dissipation. With an impressive 7,050 mAh battery and up to 1TB of RAM, the 10S Pro is built for serious gaming and endurance while also being ideal for everyday use. However, what we want to focus on today is the 10S Pro’s immaculate display.
The 10S Pro comes equipped with an immersive 1.5K display and 95.3% screen-to-body ratio. The phone’s exclusively customized BOE AMOLED full screen also has a 1.5K smooth resolution, amounting to 2,688 x 1,216 pixels. The screen has been optimized to maintain the phone’s sleek size and smaller bezels while offering a larger display. The mid-frame is just 0.7mm thick, contributing to the compact and lightweight design.
Another great innovation with the 10S Pro is the upgraded display. The phone’s dazzling screen was custom-designed by BOE to provide a truly immersive and borderless experience through the use of ultra-slim bezels and a next-generation under-display camera. To achieve these smaller bezels for a seamless display, we partnered with BOE to completely redesign and upgrade the pixel circuitry of the display, setting a new milestone in display technology.
BOE technology partnered with us a while back to develop a new under-the-display OLED camera solution, which would allow full-screen smartphone OLED displays to use higher quality cameras than before. This partnership has been tremendously fruitful and has set the tone for us to create superior devices that do not compromise quality.
The 10S Pro also sports the brightest full screen to date with an impressive 2,000 nits of peak brightness that still prioritizes exceptional clarity and power efficiency, while the 100% DCI-P3 color gamut makes every color truly pop.
With a 144Hz ultra-smooth refresh rate, you can also enjoy rapid response times and next-level gaming visuals. The maximum 2500 Hz touch sampling rate and 950 Hz multi-finger touch sampling rate also work together to make gaming seamless, Our unique Magic Touch feature also ensures instant responses, enhanced fingertip sensitivity, rapid first-frame rendering, and subsequent reporting, which all work together to provide instant response times and seamless visuals for fast-paced gaming or heavy processing.
Now, while our 10S Pro enhanced display is built for precision gaming and vibrant visuals to keep you dialed in, we also focused heavily on how we could reduce the impact of blue light emissions during extended gaming sessions. This is why we ensured that our 10S Pro has certified eye protection and Low Blue Light features to keep your eyes safe while you game.
Certified Comfort: REDMAGIC 10S Pro TÜV & SGS Eye Protection
Behind the scenes, we put in the work to ensure that every blue light emission would be actively filtered out and reduced through our hardware-level low blue light protection. While most devices might use filtering software to lower blue light emissions, we pushed the bar farther to engineer lower blue light protection into the hardware of our display itself, all without lowering the image quality by even a pixel.
Our eye protection feature also comes certified by SGS – a company that performs objective optical testing of displays, simulating human visual perception for blue light and flicker evaluation, alongside human factor testing that uses volunteers to assess brain activity, eye movement, and visual function via electroencephalogram (EEG) and Critical Flicker Frequency (CFF) tests.
Our eye protection technology was also certified further by TÜV Rheinland to ensure that only the best quality safety standards were met along the way. Now, the 10S Pro boasts an SGS and TÜV Rheinland certification to ensure that your display actively reduces blue light emissions and minimizes eye strain. However, we still want you to remain in control, which is why our low blue light eye protection is also fully customizable.
Clearer Visuals with a Kinder Design
We know that the grind never ends, and we always push you to win more games and be the best. However, this also means taking into account the possible negative effects of extended gameplay. This is why our gaming devices focus on elements like advanced cooling mechanics, ergonomic shoulder triggers, and durable designs. At REDMAGIC, your well-being is a top priority for us. The REDMAGIC 10S Pro is an ideal example of quality gaming design that won’t compromise your safety along the way.
