Tag: Redmagic 8S Pro + Launch

HIGHLIGHTS 1. The Red Magic 8S Pro series is the world’s first gaming phone to feature 24GB RAM. 2. The devices also feature the new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 SoC. 3. There is a 6000mAh battery under the hood. 4. The RedMagic 8S Pro is set to be the world’s first smartphone with 24GB RAM. 5. The RedMagic 8S Pro is seen with never-seen-before AnTuTu benchmark scores. The Red Magic 8 Pro was among the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phones, coming at the very end of 2022. Now company is bringing the improved Red Magic 8S Pro with Qualcomm’s next best chip, better cooling and a cooler-looking exterior. The major change on the S-model is that it uses the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2, a faster version of the 8 Gen 2 chip that powered the 8 Gen 2. The Plus version boosts the prime core from 3.2GHz to 3.36GHz and increases the GPU clock speed from 680MHz to 719MHz. What this means is that the 8S Pro should have 5% higher CPU and 5.7% higher GPU performance. Yes, this is basically the same configuration as the “for Galaxy” chips but with a neutral branding. This is the first phone to use this particular version of the chip. Anyway, the phone comes in several configurations, you can choose up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. But there is a Pro+ model with twice that, we'll get to it in a bit. The Red Core 2 chip makes another appearance and offloads some tasks from the Snapdragon. The chipset’s performance level is maintained by the improved ICE 12 cooling system. Compared to ICE 11 (used by the 8 Pro), the new system adds 5W/mK thermal paste and improves the air duct used by the 20K RPM fan. Every variant of the 8S Pro has RGB lighting on that fan (previously, this was exclusive to the premium transparent version). Speaking of variants, the new model keeps the aviation-grade aluminum frame and front glass, the back material depends on the variant you pick, which also dictates how much RAM and storage you get. The phone is built around a large 6.8” AMOLED display with 1,116 x 2,480px resolution (20:9) and 100% DCI-P3 coverage. Like the previous model, this panel peaks at 1,300 nits of brightness and as DC dimming. Protection is provided by the sheet of Gorilla Glass 5 on top. The display has a refresh rate of 120Hz and a touch sampling rate of 960Hz. There are two shoulder triggers with 520Hz touch sampling rate (7.4ms response time). The dev team claims they have optimized the software responsible for those triggers. The phone runs on a 6,000mAh battery with 165W fast charging, something that was exclusive to the Pro+ version of the Red Magic 8 (and that one had to sacrifice battery capacity, it had 5,000mAh in its tank). The new cooling system also includes a graphene layer below the screen, which helps spread out the heat during charging. The camera configuration hasn’t changed. The 16MP front-facing camera is under the display, so that it doesn’t get in the way of game graphics. The rear camera is based on the 50MP GN5 sensor (1/1.57”). Wired connectivity is on the level – there is a 3.5mm headphone jack and the USB-C port can do video out if you want to play on a larger display, wireless screen sharing is an option as well at up to 120Hz with Red Magic Studio. For those times when playing without headphones, there are two speakers with DTS:X Ultra sound. The Red Magic 8S Pro goes on pre-order today and will go on sale on the 11th (next Tuesday). The base 8/128GB model starts at CNY 4,000 ($550/€510/₹45,500), you can see a price breakdown below. Note that the Aurora variant (with a transparent back) is only available in two memory configurations and they are a bit pricier than the other two colorways. As we mentioned earlier, there is a Red Magic 8S Pro+ as well - this one starts at 16GB of RAM and 256GB storage for CNY 5,500 ($760/€700/₹62,500). Once again the Aurora version has separate storage options, going all the way up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB storage for CNY 7,500 ($1,035/€950/₹85,000). You read that right, this is the first phone with 24GB of RAM. Nubia has launched the Red Magic 8S Pro series as the world’s first gaming smartphone series with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 SoC. The new gaming phones from Nubia have been launched as an improved version of the Red Magic 8 Pro, which was released earlier this year with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The new Red Magic 8S Pro also gets better cooling and a new design. The Red Magic 8S Pro+, which sits at the top of the lineup, features up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM, which might seem like an overkill for Android phones launching in 2023. You can also buy the phone with up to 1TB of storage. One last thing - there is a Red Magic 8S Pro+ Bumblebee limited edition (16/512GB) for CNY 6,500, which comes with a bespoke yellow design for the back along with multiple matching acceessories. Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro Series: Price and Specifications Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro series consists of two devices. The Red Magic 8S Pro is available with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Its base model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage has a starting price of CNY 3999 (roughly Rs 45,400). The top-end storage option with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage is priced at CNY 5499 (roughly Rs 62,400). The Red Magic 8S Pro also gets a special Aurora variant, which has a special rear panel design and is priced at CNY 4999 (roughly Rs 56,800) for the 12GB + 256GB model. The top-end 12GB + 512GB variant is priced at CNY 5699 (roughly Rs 64.700). There is the Red Magic 8S Pro+ as well, which starts at CNY 5499 (roughly Rs 62,400) for the base 16GB RAM variant with 256GB storage. It goes all the way up to CNY 7499 (roughly Rs 85,200) for the top-end 24GB RAM variant with 1TB storage. Notably, the Red Magic 8S Pro+ is the world’s first smartphone to feature 24GB RAM. Obviously, this does not mean the combination of physical and virtual RAM that we see many brands promoting in India. Moving on to the hardware, the Red Magic 8S Pro series features an aviation-grade aluminium frame. The phone has been launched with multiple back panel options as mentioned above. On the front, all models have a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a 20: 9 aspect ratio, a 1,116 x 2,480-pixel resolution and 1440Hz PWM high-frequency dimming. The 10-bit display offers up to 120Hz refresh rate support along with a 960Hz touch sampling rate and 1300 nits of peak brightness. There is an under-screen 16MP front camera. Under the hood, the devices feature a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 SoC, which is the world’s first. It is essentially the “For Galaxy” version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which has a peak clock speed of 3.36GHz. Nubia has also packed an ICE 12.0 magic cooling system with a built-in fan for keeping the thermals in check. Also, there is the Red Core 2 chip to help enhance gaming performance. There is also a 6,000mAh battery with support for up to 165W fast charging. On the back, the devices feature a triple-camera setup with a 50MP Samsung GN5 primary camera sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP macro sensor. The devices feature a 3.5mm headphone jack, support for Wi-Fi 7, a triple-microphone system, shoulder triggers, etc. The devices boot on the latest Android 13-based RedMagic OS 8.0 system out of the box.
