The REDMAGIC 7 Pro is coming soon; here are all the reasons you should be investing in Nubia's mobile gaming powerhouse.
If you are a mobile gamer, investing in a gaming smartphone is a no-brainer. And when it comes to gaming phones, few come close to the value and features offered by the new REDMAGIC 7 Pro.
Want to know more? Here are 9 reasons the REDMAGIC 7 Pro is the best gaming smartphone on the market.
The design of the REDMAGIC 7 Pro is unlike anything on the market. The transparent glass back panel, the sleek yet stylized aluminum backplate, and flat sides give the phone a bold aesthetic that immediately catches the eye.
On the Obsidian model, there are symmetrical RGB breathing lights that can display more than 16 million colors. So, you can customize the look of your phone to your heart’s content.The Supernova version adds a turbo fan that you can see through the transparent back of the phone and comes equipped with a light on each of the four blades.
Move on to the sides, and you’ll see a volume rocker, a power button, two touch-sensitive shoulder triggers, and a game switch.
All in all, the design of the REDMAGIC 7 Pro makes the phone a joy to behold.
The display is at the center of the modern smartphone experience. For gaming-first smartphones, the display serves as both a canvas and a controller. So, it needs to be beautiful to look at and exceptionally responsive.
REDMAGIC 7 Pro has one of the best displays among gaming phones.
The screen on the REDMAGIC 7 Pro is a blazing fast 120 Hz AMOLED panel with 600 nits of peak brightness and a resolution of 1080 x 2400, resulting in a pixel density of 387 PPI.
Plus, with an insane touch sampling rate of 960 Hz, the panel will register all of your inputs with minimal lag. This is a huge advantage for people who play competitive first-person shooters and fighting games.
Because REDMAGIC 7 Pro has an AMOLED screen, the colors are incredibly rich with inky deep blacks. The panel covers 100% of the DCI-P3 gamut, ensuring that you see content the way it was meant to be seen.
For gaming, the bigger the screen the better. Therefore, the screen on the REDMAGIC 7 Pro comes in at 6.8 inches with non0-existent bezels and no camera cut out. There is also an under-display fingerprint scanner that doubles as a heart-rate monitor.
The combination of thin bezels, and an under-display camera has resulted in a screen-to-body ratio of 87%. So, no matter the game you are playing or the movie you are watching, the screen will pull you in.
Put simply, REDMAGIC 7 Pro’s display is a sight to behold and a joy to game on.
No phone can call itself a gaming phone unless it has class-leading performance. Unsurprisingly, REDMAGIC 7 Pro has the most powerful Qualcomm chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 packs 8 cores, the most advanced of which can be clocked up to 3 GHz. According to Qualcomm, the CPU is significantly more powerful and up to 30% more power-efficient than the previous-gen Snapdragon 888+.
On the GPU side of things, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has the new Adreno 730 which is 30% faster than the previous gen and up to 25% more efficient. The result is awesome gaming performance and longer battery life.
Combine this with 16GB of LPDDR5 memory and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and you get a phone that doesn’t skip a beat, no matter the workload.
Put simply, from playing the most demanding games like Genshin Impact to watching YouTube and multitasking, REDMAGIC 7 Pro can handle it all.
An unavoidable side effect of using ultra-powerful SoCs is that they produce a lot of heat. In a structure as compact as a smartphone, this added heat can substantially throttle performance and damage internal components if not dissipated.
REDMAGIC 7 Pro has a revolutionary ICE 9.0 cooling system that can shave up to 5 degrees compared to the previous generation REDMAGIC phones.
The cooling system consists of a turbofan that can spin at up to 20,000 RPMs, a 4124mm2 vapor chamber cooling plate, a highly conductive copper foil, dedicated airways to blow out the heat, and a specially designed heat dissipation backplate.
As a result, REDMAGIC 7 Pro never throttles, even when running the most demanding games.
Furthermore, you can slap on a REDMAGIC Turbo Cooler on the outside for that extra bit of heat dissipation during the most intense battles.
In short, the REDMAGIC 7 Pro has the most advanced cooling system of any REDMAGIC phone to date.
With the REDMAGIC 7 Pro and its 960 Hz touch sampling rate, on-screen controls are more responsive than ever. In addition to this, REDMAGIC 7 Pro also offers two shoulder triggers with a 500 Hz touch sampling rate.
Providing a controller-like feel, the shoulder triggers on the REDMAGIC 7 Pro are a much more ergonomic input method than the touch controls.
And because these shoulder triggers have a speedy 500 Hz touch sampling rate, you can be sure that every shot of yours will count.
If there is one thing that substantially elevates the gaming experience of a player, it’s impactful feedback. Through the use of dual stereo speakers and dual x-axis linear vibration motors, REDMAGIC 7 Pro provides precise feedback and makes you feel everything that is happening on the screen.
Moreover, the dual stereo speakers offer DTS:X Ultra Surround Sound to immerse you in the scene and provide directional awareness during gameplay.
One of the standout features of the REDMAGIC 7 Pro is the presence of a custom Red Core 1 chip. This chip is meant to aid the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.
Let’s assume you are playing Call of Duty mobile. During your playthrough, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is responsible for creating and displaying the frames that you see on screen. To ensure that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 can do that the best, the Red Core 1 handles the less critical but still important tasks like processing audio and delivering haptic feedback.
So, the presence of the Red Core 1 gaming chip results in better overall system performance since the main SoC doesn’t have to handle everything.
Power and performance mean nothing if you can’t game on your phone for more than a few hours. This is exactly why the REDMAGIC 7 Pro has a gigantic 5000mAh battery to ensure that you aren’t reaching for the charger every few hours.
And when it is time to charge, the bundled 65W GaN fast charger tops up the REDMAGIC 7 Pro in no time at all. And, even though the device only comes with a 65W charger in the box (if you are outside China), all versions of the phone support 135W charging thanks to Qualcomm Quick Charge 5.
REDMAGIC OS 5.0 running on top of Android 12 powers the Red Magic 7 Pro. It is an OS built to take your mobile gaming to the next level.
Some of the most impressive features of the REDMAGIC OS 5.0 include:
In short, REDMAGIC OS 5.0 is jam-packed with handy features that take your mobile gaming experience to the next level.
The REDMAGIC 7 Pro has a lot going for it. From the bold gaming-focused design to top performance, the phone has everything you need for an optimal gaming experience.
It truly is a beast of a phone, both inside and out.
