Nubia launches Red Magic 7S and 7S Pro: full gaming with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

Mobile gaming has long been the largest and most profitable slice of the entire videogame landscape. And it is therefore natural that over time the smartphones dedicated to gaming will tend to increase. Nubia with its Red Magic brand was one of the first companies to believe in the sector, and has no intention of giving up, quite the contrary. After Red Magic 7 and 7 Pro, which also arrived in Italy in April, the company has just made official two new gaming phones in China, Red Magic 7s And 7s Pro. The Pro model should be the first (and possibly the only one) to land even on the global marketprecisely on 2 August in early bird, while the full launch will take place on August 9.

Left Red Magic 7S, right Red Magic 7S Pro.

For what concern designfew surprises: the two devices they reflect the lines of Red Magic 7 and 7 Pro respectivelywith the basic model (7S) which stands out for the rear photographic module (main 64 MP + ultra wide 8 MP + macro 2 MP) enclosed by a vertical traffic light element, while on the Pro there is a more compact and almost square solution .

The main difference between the two brothers, however, is in front: Red Magic 7S in fact has two clearly visible frames above and below the display, with the one in the upper part that houses the 8 MP selfie cam, while Red Magic 7S Pro has better optimized edges and above all the front camera hidden under the screen.

Also in this case on the left you will find Red Magic 7S, on the right Red Magic 7S Pro.

The panel used on the two devices is the same, that is a 6.8-inch AMOLED with a resolution of 2,400×1,080 pixels and a refresh rate that goes up to on the 7S 165 Hz but with touch sampling a 720 Hz while on the Pro it comes to 120 Hz and yet offers a sampling of the touch a 960 Hz,.

UNDER THE SHELL

But let’s get down to business, and let’s see how the two phones are made under the body. Starting with the heart, which is the same for both, that is Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, Qualcomm’s top processor. As for the memory configurations, Red Magic 7S can be equipped with 8, 12 or 16 GB of RAM LPDDR5 while on Red Magic 7S it starts from 12 GB of RAM and you can go up to 18, with a third median option consisting of 16 GB.

And the two smartphones also integrate a chip dedicated to the functions more specifically devoted to gaming: is called “Red Core 1“, and deals with the management of the back keys, the vibration and making the light and sound effects more engaging during gaming. In terms of storage Red Magic 7S can arrive with 128 or 256 GB, while for Red Magic 7S Pro the options are 256GB, 512GB or 1TB – all memories, however, are of type UFS 3.1.

There battery from Red Magic 7S has a capacity of 4,500 mAh and supports fast charging a 120 Wwhile that of Red Magic 7S Pro is wider – 5,000 mAh – and even faster to reload with ai support 165 W.

ACTIVE COOLING SYSTEM ICE 10.0

A characteristic aspect of gaming phones is the particular attention paid to the active cooling system. In fact, these are devices that sacrifice some features that are instead privileged in the consumer market (camera, aesthetics, weight, size) with the aim of putting in the hands of users a product that is not only powerful, but also capable of sustaining high-level performance. for a continuous period, since games can be very stressful applications, and that it is in the consumer’s interest to be able to use them for a long time.

Red Magic 7S has a cooling system with 9 layers of graphene, while that of 7S Pro has 10 layers (called Ice 10.0): in both cases there is a fan with “shark fin” design (and the inevitable RGB LEDs to underline its presence) that can be pushed up to 20,000 rpm and, according to the manufacturer, is able at the same time to increase the air pressure and therefore the ability to dissipate heat reducing the noise at the same time.

PRICES AND AVAILABILITY

Red Magic 7S and Red Magic 7S Pro will be available in different colors: Dark Knight, Deuterium Front Transparent (for 7S), Deuterium Transparent Shadow. In addition, 7S Pro will also be available for purchase inBumblebee special edition (yellow with black details) that will make Transformers fans happy.
