Editorial report

ZTE nubia RedMagic 8 Pro+ 12 GB / 512 GB / China / 165W technical sheet

The nubia RedMagic 8 Pro+ suits buyers who put high-end hardware first: its performance is among the best of phones of its time. Its 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage are also among the highest capacities of that period, while 165 W fast charging is among the most powerful options. The clearest trade-off for carrying it is its 230 g weight, heavier than most phones of its time.

Its 6.8-inch AMOLED display pairs a 120 Hz refresh rate, typical of its time, with 1300-nit peak brightness, higher than that of most phones launched around then. The screen covers 89.1% of the front, also more than on most phones of the period. The fingerprint reader sits under the display. Storage reaches 1 TB and is not expandable.

The camera setup comprises a 50 MP camera, an 8 MP ultrawide and a 2 MP macro camera. The 50 MP camera records video up to 8K at 30 fps and slow motion at 240 fps; its f/1.9 aperture is narrower than that of most phones of its time. Android 13, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 and NFC round out the specifications. The nubia RedMagic 8 Pro+ earns a NeoScore of 7.0, better than most phones of its time. It is a strong fit for buyers seeking top-tier hardware who are comfortable with a heavy phone.
