Design

The ZTE Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro is a smartphone that combines a sleek and elegant design with powerful gaming capabilities. It features squared and minimal lines, with symmetrical sides and a satin and elegant back cover, which is quite unusual for a gaming phone.

The aluminum frame gives the phone a more traditional Android phone appearance, rather than a typical gaming device. The matte surface on the back adds grip to the phone, making it easier to hold during gaming sessions.

The ZTE Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro strikes a balance between sturdy construction and comfortable handling, weighing 228g and measuring 8.9mm in thickness. It also retains the gaming phone aesthetic with customizable RGB zones on the back panel, which can be adjusted to 16.8 million colors and 4096 adjustable brightness. Additionally, there are LED indicators on the back that can act as notification indicators.

On the sides of the device, you’ll find the volume rocker, power button, red switch for gaming mode, touch triggers, USB Type-C port, SIM tray, 3.5mm audio jack, and lower and upper audio speakers. The back of the phone houses three vertically arranged cameras, slightly protruding. Similarly, the Red Magic has a slider which puts the phone in gaming mode, and the adaptable shoulder triggers enhance the gaming experience.

In addition, the cooling system has been upgraded with ICE 12, featuring a new duct structure, cooling gel, and a larger vapor chamber cooling plate. There is also a graphene layer beneath the display.

Display

The android phone also features a panel with 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a 20:9 aspect ratio. This panel is HDR 10+ certified and offers sharp visuals and vibrant colors with a resolution of 1116×2480 pixels, making it perfect for gaming and multimedia consumption. It has a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz and a touch sampling rate of 960Hz.

Additionally, the ZTE Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro also has an in-display fingerprint scanner..  The peak brightness is 1300 nits, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for protection. There is also the front camera located below the display, providing an immersive screen experience. What sets the under-display camera technology apart is the 7-layer transparent system to hide the notch.

The display measures 89.1% screen-to-body ratio, leaving minimal bezels or borders around it. This high screen-to-body ratio is desirable as it maximizes the available screen real estate, providing a more immersive and visually engaging experience.

Camera

Just like the he ZTE Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro, this device features a triple camera setup on the rear, consisting of a 50-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 2-megapixel macro shooter. The camera app is described as straightforward and easy to use, with quick controls for HDR, aspect ratio selection, and flash.

In daylight conditions, photos taken with the primary camera showed accurate colors and recognizable objects. However, zooming in revealed some grain in the output. The ultra-wide-angle camera captured a wider field of view but resulted in distorted edges and less detailed photos compared to the primary camera.

Furthermore, when shooting close-ups, the ZTE Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro locked focus quickly, producing sharp and well-separated subject shots with added depth effect for the background. The macro camera also allowed for close-up shots with decent results.

On the front, selfies taken with the 16-megapixel front camera were crisp with good edge detection in portrait mode. It captures attractive self-portraits even in low light condition.

Video recording capabilities included 8K resolution for the primary camera and 1080p for the front camera. While video stabilization was done electronically, the footage was generally stable in 1080p during daylight conditions. However, there was a shimmer effect when walking around while recording 4K video, and low-light video recording showed a similar shimmer effect.

Hardware and Software

The ZTE Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 under the hood. This the same processor available in the more premium ZTE Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro+ and an upgrade compared to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 provided for the ZTE Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro and ZTE Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro Plus.

The chipset has an octa-core chip based on the 4nm architecture with up to 3.36 GHz clock speed. Additionally, the chip is also coupled with a Adreno 740 GPU for graphic processing.

Th phone lacks an external storage space, hence the internal storage can not be expanded.

Furthermore, the ZTE Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro is equipped with a substantial 6000 mAh battery. It also supports fast charging capabilities, including 65W wired charging with PD3.0.

This Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro also runs Android 13, which ensures that users have access to the latest software advancements and innovations, providing a smooth and enjoyable user experience.
