Editorial report

ZTE nubia RedMagic 8 Pro 16 GB / 512 GB / Global technical sheet

The ZTE nubia RedMagic 8 Pro suits buyers looking for a gaming-focused phone who put performance first, but at 228 g it weighs more than most phones of its time. Its hardware is among the best of that period, combining 16 GB of RAM, up to 512 GB of storage and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Its AnTuTu v9 result is also among the highest of its time. Storage is not expandable.

The 6.8-inch AMOLED display has a 120 Hz refresh rate. Its peak brightness of 1,300 nits and 89.1% screen-to-body ratio are better than those of most phones launched around the same time. Gorilla Glass 5 is among its display features. The 228 g weight is a significant downside for anyone seeking a lighter phone.

The 6,000 mAh battery and 65 W charging are better than those of most phones of its time. Connectivity is also better than most, with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC and dual Nano-SIM. The camera setup includes a 50 MP camera, an 8 MP ultrawide and a 2 MP macro camera; overall, its camera is better than that of most phones of the period. Its f/1.9 aperture, however, is less bright than that of most.

With a NeoScore of 7.2, the RedMagic 8 Pro is best suited to buyers who prioritize gaming performance, memory and a high-capacity battery, and can accept its weight and less-bright aperture.
