Last year in November, Nubia announced the Red Magic 9 Pro and Magic 9 Pro+ in China. Today, Nubia officially announced the release of the new Red Magic 9S Pro series AI gaming phone for the home market at the Red Magic Esports Universe new product launch conference on July 3.
Red Magic 9S Pro incoming: Here’s what to expect
Red Magic is yet to disclose any details about the Red Magic 9S Pro. Rumors suggest that the device will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version chipset. It is nothing but an enhanced version of the SDS8G3.
To recall, Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip in October of last year. It offers a maximum processing speed of 3.36GHz. In January 2023, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S24 series, equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip for Galaxy. The said chipset is an overclocked version of the SD8G3, working at 3.9GHz.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version, which is expected to power the Red Magic 9S Pro, is likely to offer the same clocking speed of 3.39GHz. There is a possibility that it will also offer better GPU performance, like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Leading Version, which powered the Red Magic 8S Pro last year. To say it again, the Red Magic 9S Pro will be the first non-Samsung phone to feature an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
The other specifications of the Red Magic 9S Pro are not known yet. However, it seems that the main difference between the 9S Pro and the existing 9 Pro is that the former will have a faster chipset.
Rumor has it that Nubia may reveal the Red Magic gaming laptop at the upcoming launch event, in addition to the Red Magic 9S Pro. The rumored specifications of this laptop include a 14th-generation Core i9 processor, an RTX 4070 independent graphics card, and an integrated metal body.
