Editorial report

ZTE nubia RedMagic 8S Pro 8 GB / 128 GB / China technical sheet

The nubia RedMagic 8S Pro is aimed at people looking for a gaming phone with powerful hardware, ample memory, and a high-capacity battery. Its main trade-off is its build: at 228 g and 9.5 mm thick, it is heavier and thicker than most phones of its time.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage make for an ambitious setup. Its AnTuTu result of 1,326,652 is among the highest of its time, and its hardware ranks among the best. The 6.8-inch AMOLED display has a 120 Hz refresh rate, 400 ppi density, and an 89.1% screen-to-body ratio. Its pixel density and screen-to-body ratio are better than those of most phones of its time, while 120 Hz is typical.

The 6000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time and supports 65 W charging. The 50 MP camera is joined by an 8 MP ultrawide and a 2 MP macro camera; the camera overall ranks better than most. Connectivity also ranks better than most, with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, 5G, and dual Nano-SIM support.

With a NeoScore of 7.2, the RedMagic 8S Pro suits people prioritizing performance, memory, and battery capacity in a gaming phone, provided its heavy, thick build fits their preferences.
