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 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.

Reports have revealed that Nubia is working on the Red Magic 7S series of gaming smartphones. A few weeks ago, the Red Magic 7S with the NX679S model number and the Red Magic 7S Pro with the NX709S model number were spotted on the 3C certification platform in China. Both devices have now received approval from the TENAA authority of China. Here is all the information about the Red Magic 7S duo that has surfaced through their TENAA certifications.

Red Magic 7S, 7S Pro specifications (rumored)

The Red Magic 7S and 7S Pro are both fitted with a 6.8-inch OLED panel that offers a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The Red Magic 7 and 7 Pro, which debuted earlier this year, supported a 120Hz and a 165Hz refresh rate, respectively. Hence, it is likely that their updated editions will also offer the same refresh rate.

It looks like the same 3.2GHz octa-core processor powers the Red Magic 7S and 7S Pro. In all likelihood, both devices may come equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. Both devices are expected to arrive with 8 GB / 12 GB / 16 GB / 18 GB of RAM.

The Red Magic 7S will come with 128 GB / 256 GB / 512 GB of storage, whereas the Pro variant will come with an additional storage option of 1 TB. The duo will come preloaded with the Android 12 OS and Red Magic UI.

However, the Pro model could be equipped with a 16-megapixel under-display selfie snapper like the Red Magic 7 Pro. The vanilla model will feature a 4,500mAh battery, whereas the Pro model will house a 5,000mAh battery. Both phones were spotted with a 165W charger at 3C. However, it is likely that vanilla may offer slightly slower charging speeds as compared to the Pro model.
