Nubia has already officially announced that it will release the Red Magic 9s Pro on July 3. Red Magic has also opened reservations for the new phone. This morning the company revealed a number of detailed renders of the phone revealing the design changes. So, let’s take a look.

Red Magic 9s Pro official renders

According to the images, the phone will come in four color options, which are reportedly called Dark Knight, Day Warrior, Deuterium Front Transparent Dark Night, and Deuterium Front Transparent Silver Wing. The phone will be officially launched at the Red Magic E-sports Universe New Product Launch Conference.

As you can see from the images, two of the four versions will come with a transparent finish near the motherboard and air vent. Other than that, the design language is similar to the predecessor, with flat sides and sharp corners. However, there are some notable changes. On the back, the camera modules are moved to the side and the flash module is also relocated from the top of the camera module to the side of it. The Red Magic logo is also moved from the center to the side. The fan now mimics the third camera, while the third sensor is placed inside the flash module.

On the front the phone boasts narrower bezels as compared to the Red Magic 8s Pro.

According to previous rumors, the phone will come with a multi-layer precision heat dissipation ICE 13.5 magic cooling system, equipped with 10,000-level ice-grade VC + innovative frost cooling gel + alloy shark fin high-speed centrifugal fan. It is expected to be able to reduce the body temperature by up to 19.5℃ and the CPU core temperature by up to 25℃.

The phone will be powered by last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. However, it it said that the Cortx-X4 prime core of the SD 8Gen 3 chipset will be overclocked to 3.4GHz. For reference, the prime core in the regular version of the chipset clocks at 3.3GHz. In addition to that, the GPU clock is also said to be increased by 1GHz. Not to mention, the phone will boast LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

The Red Magic 9s Pro could equip a large language model for AI features. It is said that the LLM will offer a first-word response time of 1 second. So we can say that there will be some text-based features. It could be similar to the text generation and summarization features already available in many flagship devices. Nonetheless, there isn’t much information available about the AI features at the moment.
