[Gadgets] ZTE nubia Red Magic 9 Pro - Full phone specifications

[Aronus]

The Red Magic 9 Pro by nubia has arrived early this year, probably due to Qualcomm making its top-tier chipset available earlier than usual.

Either way, this year's top-tier gaming smartphone from Red Magic is out, and it comes along with a slew of meaningful upgrades. A worthy generational improvement.

 

In addition to the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC on board, the handset boasts a brighter display, twice the standard storage, a new 50MP ultrawide camera, a bigger battery, and the global variant finally gets USB 3.2 Gen2.

 

To handle the powerful chip, nubia has once again upgraded the cooling solution, now called ICE 13. It incorporates a 10-layer heat dissipation sheet with a bigger surface, and the cooling fan now goes up to 22,000 RPM while reducing noise emissions.

 

The handset also boasts upgrades to the stereo speaker setup, more gaming features, better LED lighting around, including the shoulder triggers, and a slimmer design. That last bit is impressive, given the 500 mAh battery increase over the last generation.

So, without further ado, let's see how the new Red Magic 9 Pro runs games and how well it fares in our usual set of tests.
