Characteristics of Nubia Red Magic 8Pro
A flat and elegant profiled design
We will certainly not exaggerate if we call the Nubia RedMagic 8 Pro a simple, beautiful and attractive smartphone. You’ll definitely agree with us when you discover its sharp, thin angled edges that give it a flat profile. Added to this is its glass rear panel, semi-transparent or matt finish, which makes it easy to grip and which carries LED lights. The back of the phone also reminds us of the Nothing phone 1.
As for the dimensions of the RedMagic 8 Pro, it measures 163.98 x 76.35 x 8.9mm; it weighs 228g. Even if it is less light than some of its competitors, this smartphone will certainly not be the heaviest on the market.
The Nubia RedMagic 8 Pro sports a rectangular AMOLED display. This 6.8-inch HDR-capable screen might be the biggest on the market. It has a definition of 1116 x 2480 px with a refresh rate of 120Hz. It also benefits from a maximum brightness of 1300 nits which gives the smartphone very good readability even in direct sunlight.
We can regret this during the fact that the Nubia RedMagic 8 Pro is not waterproof and dustproof despite its integrated fan and air duct, helps to evacuate the heat.
An improved but just classic camera
The Nubia RedMagic 8 Pro has a triple sensor camera on the back: a 50MP Samsung GN5 main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle sensor and a 2MP lens. This hardware configuration is associated with a “Camera” application that allows you to take shots, photos or video, in several modes. At the front, the smartphone carries a 16 MP selfie camera located under the screen.
Some image tests attribute an appreciable result on the image quality of the RedMagic 8 Pro camera, even if they claim that the selfie is less satisfactory. The camera has been improved compared to other Nubia versions But Overall, the strong point of the RedMagic 8 Pro is certainly not at the camera level.
A battery of power and autonomy at the level of gaming smartphones
With 6,000 mAh of battery power, the Nubia RedMagic 8 Pro wants to compete with competitors like the Doogee V30, Asus’ ROG Phone 6, or some Samsung Galaxy F and M series.
The phone comes with an 80W fast charging power supply, with no wireless charging capability. It takes about 30-40 min to refuel the battery for 5 days of battery life in normal use based on the results of several tests.
Impressive performance
ZTE’s Nubia RedMagic 8 Pro integrates the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. This chipset, which will probably equip most of the high-end smartphones of the year 2023, already obtains on a test platform like AnTuTu a score almost equal to 1 .3 million points.
The chip is paired with 8 to 16 GB of RAM. The phone has internal storage that varies between 128 and 512 GB.
With this configuration, there is no doubting the high performance and very good fluidity of the experience with the Nubia RedMagic 8 Pro, especially for games.
