As the name of the device itself indicates, the phone comes with a transparent back panel, and given that it’s a gaming smartphone, the company has tried to retain the gaming-like look of the phone’s design.

Coming to the specifications, the Red Magic 8 Pro Transparent Silver Edition features a 6.8-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with support for a high refresh rate of up to 120Hz, a 960Hz touch sampling rate, PWM Dimming + DC Dimming, 93.7% screen-to-body ratio, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and 1300 nits peak brightness.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, coupled with 12GB of LPDDR5x RAM and has UFS 4.0 storage. It also packs the company’s self-developed Redcore R2 game chip, which takes care of the sound, light, vibration, and touch-integrated magic control as well as mobile light tracking.

It is also equipped with ICE 11.0 magic cooling system with a built-in fan, full-through air duct, 3D ice-level double-pump VC liquid cooling, graphene under the screen, and up to 10 layers of heat dissipation materials.

In the camera department, the Red Magic 8 Pro features a triple-camera setup on the back that includes a 50MP Samsung S5KGN5 primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens, and a 2MP macro lens. On the front side, there’s a 16MP snapper tucked under the display of the device, for taking selfies and video calling.

The phone runs the Android 13 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own RedMagic OS custom interface. It is powered by a 6,000mAh battery which supports 80W wired fast charging and 65W wireless charging.
