nubia Red Magic 10 Pro and 10 Pro+ unveiled with SD 8 Elite, huge batteries

Ivan, 13 November 2024

Red Magic 10 Pro and Red Magic 10 Pro+ flagships are here and they have what the brand calls the Snapdragon 8 Elite "Extreme Edition".

The pair mostly shares the same specs. The main difference is the battery and charging - the 10 Pro has a 6,500mAh battery with 80W charging, while the 10 Pro+ ups it to a 7,050mAh silicon-nitride pack with 120W charging.

While the nubia Red Magic 10 Pro packages 256GB or 512GB with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM as standard, the Pro+ comes with either 512GB or 1TB and either 16GB or 24GB of RAM. That's UFS 4.1 Pro, a faster standard than UFS 4.0.

Being gaming-focused phones, the Red Magic 10 Pro and Pro+ have a highly sophisticated thermal system. It all starts with a 12,000mm2 3D ice-step vapor chamber, which Red Magic says is 18% bigger than on the previous phone. Then there's a 5,2000mm2 copper foil and a graphene layer.

The nubia Red Magic 10 Pro series relies on the in-house Red Core R3 gaming chip with support for 120fps at "2K" resolution with super-resolution and super-concurrency. There are also 520Hz shoulder keys for extra gaming control and dual X-axis linear vibration motors. The series has kept a 3.5mm audio jack.

Both phones share a 6.85-inch 1216x2688px BOE Q9+ AMOLED with a 144Hz max refresh rate and 960Hz touch sampling rate. The panel can ramp up to 2,000 nits and supports DC dimming and 2,592Hz PWM dimming.

The display hides a 16MP under-display selfie camera.

Round back, there are two 50MP cameras (wide 1/1.5-inch OV50E40, and ultrawide OV50D), and a 2MP macro sensor.

Correction .. Asus updated their site: ROG 9 Phone Pro has ... LTPO has ultra-responsive 720 Hz touch sampling rate 9600Mbps LPDDR5X Ultra using UFS4.1 Pro as well.

So it seems BOTH RM 10 Pro/Pro+ & ROG 9 Pro will have ... 960Hz touch sampling rate on the LTPO screen, and 520hz capacitive Touch triggers ... yet thus far reported and reviewed ONLY the ROG 9 Pro you can customize them at decent length...
