Which should you buy?
The Red Magic 10 Pro is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 10.1 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
Pick the Red Magic 10 Pro if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. The biggest gaps in its favor are antutu, ram, battery capacity, among others.
Pick the V40 Pro if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are front camera, weight, pixel density, among others.
Both ship with comparable main camera, 5g support, wired charging, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Red Magic 10 Pro is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
