ZTE’s RedMagic has launched its new gaming flagships– the Red Magic 7S and Red Magic 7S Pro– in its home country China and both the phones pack some serious tech. The newly launched gaming handsets have terrific spec sheets full of high-end hardware.

The lineup includes an array of features like Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Soc, a 6.8-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with up to 165Hz refresh rate, a built-in fan with LED lights, an under-display camera, and a lot more. Let’s check out more details about the two monstrous smartphones.

The Red Magic 7S and 7S Pro have similar design like the previous generation models. Red Magic is consistent with the design of its smartphones and it’s not trying to overdo it like “some” brands. Both smartphones have designs similar to the Red Magic 7 and 7 Pro launched earlier this year. However, both phones feature an under-display front camera and have a neat front panel.

The smartphones have two pressure-sensitive gaming triggers along with the volume rocker and power button on the right side. While on the left, there is a red switch to activate liquid cooling.

Red Magic 7S Pro Unveiled

The Red Magic 7S Pro is the higher-end model and has features similar to the Standard model. The device houses the same 6.8-inch AMOLED display but with a 120Hz refresh rate. The smartphone is equipped with Red Magic x Qualcomm LTM dimming technology.

The 7S Pro is also powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, but it also has the company’s proprietary Red Core 1 which is a dedicated gaming chipset for enhancing the performance of the device. The smartphone comes with an advanced Ice 10.0 cooling system.

The rear camera sensors on the Red Magic 7 Pro are the same as the standard variant, however, it has an upgraded 16-megapixel selfie camera. The Nubia Red Magic 7S Pro is fueled by an increased 5,000mAh battery and supports a higher 135W fast charging support. It comes with a standard 165W gallium nitride charging head. The smartphone runs Red Magic 5.0 based on Android 12.

Red Magic 7S Pro is also launched in a special transformer edition model. The special edition model will have a transformer-inspired design. It will match the iconic appearance of Bumblebee. In addition, the device will come in a special hexagonal-shaped retail box and will pack a Bumblebee-inspired external cooler, a protective cover, and a few other accessories.
