nubia Red Magic 8S Pro's global launch date revealed
The nubia Red Magic 8S Pro unveiled earlier this month is currently only available in China, but that will change next week since the company has announced the Red Magic 8S Pro will make its international debut on July 18 at 8 AM EST.
nubia also introduced the Red Magic 8S Pro+ alongside the 8S Pro, but the company hasn't mentioned that on its event page, suggesting it's only the Red Magic 8S Pro that will escape China next Tuesday.
The nubia Red Magic 8S Pro is powered by what nubia calls a "Leading version of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2," with the reason likely being the higher clock speed of the Prime core (3.36GHz vs. 3.2GHz of regular SD 8 Gen 2). The smartphone comes with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage and runs Android 13-based Redmagic OS 8 out of the box.
The Red Magic 8S Pro is built around a 6.8" 120Hz AMOLED screen protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and has a resolution of 2,480x1,116 pixels. The display also has a fingerprint scanner underneath for password-less phone unlocking.
The Red Magic 8S Pro features four cameras - 50MP primary, 8MP ultrawide, 2MP macro, and 16MP selfie (under display). It also has stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a 6,000 mAh battery with 80W wired charging.
The Pro+ model shares most of the specs with the 8S Pro, except that it packs a 5,000 mAh battery with 165W wired charging support and comes with up to 24GB RAM and 1TB of storage onboard.

Software support is bad on Nubia phones. Also that selfie camera is just awful on this.

Bought the 8 Pro Plus and I'm having second thoughts. For the third time 🤣 The OS is just horrible. Especially coming from a Pixel 7 Pro.
