Red Magic has just announced its new gaming flagships– the RedMagic 7S and 7S Pro– in its home country China and both the phones pack some serious tech. The newly launched gaming handsets have terrific spec sheets full of high-end hardware. The lineup includes an array of features like Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Soc, a 6.8-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with up to 165Hz refresh rate, a built-in fan with LED lights, an under-display camera, and a lot more. Let’s check out more details about the two monstrous smartphones.
Red Magic 7S and 7S Pro Design
The Red Magic 7S and 7S Pro designs resemble the previous generation models. Red Magic is consistent with the design of its smartphones and it’s not trying to overdo it like “some” brands. Both smartphones have designs similar to the Red Magic 7 and 7 Pro launched earlier this year. However, both phones feature an under-display front camera and have a neat front panel.
The rear of the smartphones has that same iconic semi-transparent look with a few tweaks. The Red Magic 7S has a strip-like camera module with cameras aligned linearly. Whereas the Pro model has a rectangular camera island with cameras arranged in a squircle fashion. Next to the camera module, you’ll find the fan-favorite cooling fan that comes with RGB lights.
The smartphones have two pressure-sensitive gaming triggers along with the volume rocker and power button on the right side. While on the left, there is a red switch to activate liquid cooling.
Red Magic 7S Specifications
The Red Magic 7S flaunts a 6.8-inch AMOLED Full HD+ display with LTM and DC dimming. Interestingly, it has a 165hz refresh rate which is higher than the Pro model. The handset is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, paired with up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. To keep the phone cool during heavy gaming, the company has equipped the smartphone with ICE 9.0 liquid-cooling technology. Moreover, the device also has a built-in fan that can circulate air at speed of up to 20,000RPM.
Additionally, the smartphone is equipped with a Magic GPU stable frame engine that supports rendering and imaging synchronization, a five-fold rendering buffer, and intelligent recognition of TC supplementary frames.
It’s not a photography-focused phone but still has some decent camera specs. The device is equipped with a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 64MP primary camera accompanied by an 8MP wide-angle lens and a 2MP macro lens along with an LED Flash. At the front, the handset offers an 8MP under-display camera sensor for selfies and video calls. The gaming phone is backed up by a 4,500mAh battery with 120W fast charging support.

The 7S Pro is also powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, but it also has the company’s proprietary Red Core 1 which is a dedicated gaming chipset for enhancing the performance of the device. The smartphone comes with an advanced Ice 10.0 cooling system.
The rear camera sensors on the Red Magic 7 Pro are the same as the standard variant, however, it has an upgraded 16-megapixel selfie camera.
