The REDMAGIC 8 PRO is the most sophisticated gaming smartphone on the market
The REDMAGIC 8 PRO is out now, and, wow, it's a beauty. Built with a fully-flexible AMOLED screen, the REDMAGIC 8 PRO is the eighth iteration of the world's most sophisticated gaming smartphone series, and builds on its forerunners' state of the art cooling system, 165Hz refresh rate, and UDC technology. With 16GB of RAM and 512GB of memory, you can enjoy all of your favorite games in the palm of your hand on one of the most stylish-looking handsets around.
So what's under the hood of the REDMAGIC PRO 8? The short answer is a lot. Take the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, for example – the fastest chipset REDMAGIC phones have ever seen, powered by LPDDR5X memory, with optimized storage via UFS 4.0. Moreover, the Qualcomm's Adreno GPU offers 42% improved performance over previous REDMAGIC models; while the REDMAGIC PRO 8 delivers 50% improved power efficiency. The Kryo CPU provides 37% more power efficiency too, while WiFi 7 means users can enjoy unparalleled wireless connectivity wherever they're online.
With a super-long lasting battery life, courtesy of its 6000mAh dual cell battery and 65W super fast charging, REDMAGIC PRO 8 users can game on-the-go for longer than ever before. And the smartphone's ICE 11 cooling system, that comes with an upgraded double layered liquid cooling plate - the aptly named Vapor Chamber - and ten layers of heat dissipation materials (with a maximum fuselage temperature of 41.70°C), combined with its 20,000 RPM high-speed centrifugal fan with ultra-thin blades at 0.01mm in width, means the REDMAGIC PRO 8 feels as cool as it looks.
Up Your Game
Another of the REDMAGIC PRO 8's best features for gaming is its ultra-responsive shoulder triggers. Purposefully designed for rapid reactions in the heat of virtual battle, the REDMAGIC PRO 8 comes equipped with extremely responsive 520Hz shoulder triggers for the perfect mobile gaming experience. Expect response rates as fast as 7.4ms as you storm the chaotic warzones of PUBG: Battlegrounds, Fortnite, Genshin Impact, Apex Legends and more. As the action in these games unfolds at breakneck speeds, players can rely on the REDMAGIC PRO 8's Magic GPU by nubia, which supports a quintuple buffer effect system that ensures images are constantly optimized – in turn making screen display the number one priority throughout each gaming session.
Add all of this to the REDMAGIC PRO 8's 50 megapixel camera, RGB gaming lights with 16.8 million colors, potent dual-stereo speakers, and REDMAGIC's signature Game Space for organizing all your gaming needs. To the latter end, the REDMAGIC PRO 8's improved gaming dashboard offers a comfortable, streamlined experience, which in turn promises improved control of the REDMAGIC plug-in service.
Moreover, users can apply AI backgrounds tied to their favourite games in the Game Space launcher; whereas the REDMAGIC PRO 8's operating system includes Nubia's "XR Labs," where users can view REDMAGIC's mascot Mora in augmented reality, and even create a 2D Mora to rub shoulders with while livestreaming.
With all of that, the REDMAGIC PRO 8 really is the quintessential gaming smartphone, and a must-have for gamers and tech enthusiasts determined to up their game. Fancy it? Of course you do – head over to the official REDMAGIC website for more information.
