3. Announcement. Global Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro with slower charging (+ first reviews) - Mobile News World - Helpix

In December, a few days before the New Year, a couple of gaming smartphones were announced in China Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro and Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro+.

Red Magic 8 Pro

In fact, these two are almost the same apparatus. The difference is only in batteries, charging speed and amount of memory.

And now the global Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro appears. In fact, it is almost like Chinese. Just slowed down a bit. But more memory was poured. Here, let's put all three devices in a table for clarity.

8-12 GB 12-16 GB 12-16 GB Persistent
memory 128-256 GB 256-512 GB 256-1024 GB

And let me briefly remind you of the characteristics.

Iron. Naturally, the most powerful chipset available on the market, ie. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with fancy cooling system. And, by the way, one more possible difference from the "Chinese". I do not see in the official description any references to an auxiliary additional branded R2 chip.

Top memory, LPDDR5x and UFS4.0.

Screens. AMOLED 6.8" (112 cm²) Tall� Resolution 1116x2480 (400 ppi), refresh rate up to 120 Hz.

I already said about the battery. 6000 mAh, 65 W charging.

Cameras. 16 MP in front (moreover, the front camera is hidden under the screen). 50 + 8 + 2 MP rear - main camera, wide-angle, macro. The sensor of the main camera is quite solid Samsung ISOCELL GN5.

Other. There is a standard audio output, support for 5G networks, an NFC module, Wi-Fi 6E. The fingerprint scanner is located under the screen.

With game gadgets, everything is relatively standard. Powerful vibration motor, stereo speakers, trigger keys.

And about money. For Far Zabeels announced prices of $649 (₽43,900) and $799 (₽54,000) for the 12+256 and 16+512 GB versions, respectively.

For Europe - €649 (₽47,500, $702) and €749 (₽54,800, $810).

The global Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro was clearly given out in advance to a number of English-speaking reviewers, so at the same time as the announcement, there was a mass publication of the first reviews. Hiding a few things under the cat.
