Nubia is gearing up to unveil the Red Magic 7S series on July 11. Just like last year, the new series also consists of two models – a standard Red Magic 7S and a higher-tier Red Magic 7S Pro. The smartphones are an upgraded version of Red Magic 7 and 7 Pro with newer chipset and features.
The latest smartphones are expected to offer powerful performance and some impressive over-the-top features. Here’s everything that’s known about the new gaming phones ahead of their official announcement.
Nubia Red Magic 7S, 7S Pro Launch Date
Nubia has already confirmed the launch date of the Red Magic 7S series. The company will be holding a launch event for the Red Magic 7S and 7S Pro at 3 PM IST on July 11 in China. The phones may go up for sale a week after the launch.
In addition, Nubia has also teased a special Transformers Edition of the Red Magic 7S Pro, which is expected to launch alongside the standard and pro models.
Red Magic 7S, 7S Pro Design
The official renders of the Red Magic 7S Pro are out. The Red Magic 7 will have the same design as the Pro model. The renders suggest that the rear of the smartphones will have a design similar to the previous generation models. However, they will have some interesting changes on the front.
The two phones will have an under-display camera on the front. The right side will sport pressure-sensitive triggers for gaming. Unlike previous-gen models, the Red Magic 7S and 7 Pro will also have the volume rocker and power button placed on the right-hand side. The left side of the smartphones will have a red switch to activate liquid cooling.
The phones can be seen to have a semi-transparent back which does not showcase the components of the smartphone, however, gives a pretty good idea of where the good stuff is located.
The camera module of the device has been altered. It now has a rectangular shape with a triple camera setup arranged in a square fashion. Next to the camera module, there will be a cooling fan that will feature a cool RGB LED.
The SIM card tray will be at the bottom, along with the bottom-facing speaker and the USB-C connector. The 3.5mm headphone jack will be located at the top right corners of the smartphones.
Nubia will also launch Red Magic 7S Pro in a special transformer edition model. As per the renders, the special edition model will have a transformer-inspired design. It will match the iconic appearance of Bumblebee. Moreover, the device will come in a special hexagonal-shaped retail box and will pack a Bumblebee-inspired external cooler, a protective cover, and a few other accessories.
Red Magic 7S, 7S Pro Specifications
Processor and Storage
The hardware specifications of the smartphones are pretty great. Both Red Magic 7S, and 7S Pro feature Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. Since both smartphones are expected to feature almost identical specifications, their performance will also be fairly similar.
The two smartphones are expected to arrive in four different RAM variants – 8GB, 12GB,16GB, and 8GB. Talking about internal storage, the Red Magic 7S Pro will likely come with up to 1TB of storage, whereas the standard 7S will be limited to 512GB storage.
Display
The Red Magic 7S and 7S Pro will both likely be equipped with a 6.8-inch OLED panel and offer a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The refresh rate on the Pro model may go up to 165Hz and it might also offer a 720Hz touch sampling rate. Red Magic 7S, on the other hand, will likely support a refresh rate of only 120Hz. It may offer a brightness of up to 700 nits and color accuracy will likely be better than previous models. The display will house an in-display camera and fingerprint sensor and it may have Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top.
Cameras
The Red Magic 7S and 7S Pro are not exactly photography-focused phones but they still have a decent camera, just in case. Both the gaming phones are expected to have a triple rear camera setup on the back consisting of a 64 MP main camera, 8 MP ultrawide, and 2 MP macro shooter along with an LED flash.
The front camera scene is interesting with the two phones. They feature an under-display camera just like ZTE Axon 40 Ultra. The camera is likely to be 16-megapixel, however, don’t expect your selfies to look very good. Selfies from an under-display camera are not very satisfactory, they are blurry and have too much softening effect.
Miscellaneous
Both phones are expected to arrive with a lot of Gaming-focused features like pressure-sensitive physical triggers, Game space, and intelligent heat dissipation and cooling system. The smartphones will be equipped with ICE 10.0 liquid-cooling technology and a unique cooling fan for faster heat dissipation.
In terms of software, the handsets are expected to run Red Magic 5.0 based on Android 12. They will have a USB type-c port, Bluetooth 2.0, NFC, 3.5mm Jack, and 5G connectivity.
Battery
The Red Magic 7S will likely draw power from a 4500mAh battery with 120W fast charging support. On the contrary, the Pro model could have a 5000mAh battery and may carry absolutely bonkers 165W fast charging support. Both smartphones will likely charge in under 20 minutes. It is worth mentioning that there is no wireless or reverse charging in the phones.
