It shouldn’t be long until we meet the new generation of mobile gamers from Nubia. The Red Magic 8 Pro must be the most advanced model by utilizing the highest performing hardware in the industry. This Thursday (08), the TENAA updated the model’s certification with its first real photographsrevealing its design ahead of release.
As noted, the Red Magic 8 Pro will have a version with a transparent design similar to previous generations, but will replace the predecessor’s smooth curves with flattened sides and straight edges reminiscent of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Check out:
Instead of reusing the rectangular module of the Red Magic 7 Pro, the new model should have a triple set of cameras aligned vertically. We are talking about a main lens with a 50 MP sensor, an ultrawide lens with an 8 MP sensor and a 2 MP depth sensor. The front camera should offer 16 MP resolution.
TENAA had revealed last Tuesday (06) that the Red Magic 8 Pro will be equipped with a 6.8-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2,480 x 1,116 pixels and a refresh rate of 165 Hz. Although it is impossible to deduce from the image, it is possible that the model follows in the footsteps of its predecessor and use a front camera under the display🇧🇷
To ensure maximum gaming performance, the phone will come with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Qualcomm’s most advanced processor. The platform should work with up to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage. Furthermore, the proprietary Red Core 1 chip should enhance the audio experience for gamers.
According to rumors, the Red Magic 8 Pro will be released in two versions: one with a giant 5,720 mAh battery; and another with a 4,900 mAh battery. The 3C certification, which calls the smartphone by the technical name “NX729J”, indicates that at least one of the variants will support fast charging at 165 watts.
So far, Nubia has not confirmed any details regarding the Red Magic 8 and Red Magic 8 Pro, but the expectation is that both models will be announced between January and February 2023 as the first mobile gamers with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
