  "account": "The RedMagic 12 Pro, RedMagic's latest flagship phone, has just been internationally launched. This device, which outperforms other flagship devices, caught the attention of a Google Pixel fan who tested it to compare with their Pixel 9 Pro. The phone's impressive performance was evident from the moment of initial setup. After benchmarking the phone with Geekbench 7, it emerged that the RedMagic 12 Pro excelled in both single-core and multi-core performance compared to both the Pixel 11 Pro and the iPhone 18 Pro Max. The phone's speed and smoothness were so remarkable that it felt like magic. RedMagic's Android \"skin,\" which combines elements of Android and iOS, makes the phone feel smooth and responsive. The interface is sleek, with notifications sliding down seamlessly and app launchers opening instantly. The display is edge-to-edge, with no bezels or interruptions. The phone's slim design and smooth glass back add to its premium feel. The 12 Pro also features liquid cooling, which not only enhances performance but also makes the phone feel luxurious to hold. Despite the impressive specs, the phone comes with some preinstalled non-serious games like Puzzle Spark and Mahjong Blast, which might seem out of place on such a powerful device. However, these games can be easily deleted. Overall, the RedMagic 12 Pro is a top-tier flagship phone that rivals even the best Google Pixel devices. Its superior performance, smooth interface, and premium design make it stand out in the crowded market of Android phones.",
  "summary": "If it’s possible to release a flagship phone while at the same time making it appear more like a midrange phone, Red Magic has found a way.",
