After being unveiled in China earlier this month, ZTE nubia has officially released the RedMagic 8S Pro in the global market.
RedMagic 8S Pro
The global variant of the RedMagic 8S Pro retains most of the specs of its Chinese counterpart. This includes the 6.7-inch FHD+ LTPO AMOLED panel with a 120hz refresh rate and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Leading Version.
The chipset is coupled with 12/16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256/512GB UFS 4.0 storage. Additionally, it is equipped with the Red Core R2 gaming chip to assist in processing.
It also has the same 50MP triple rear camera and the second-generation 16MP under-display camera on the front. The device carries over the 520Hz touch sampling rate shoulder trigger buttons and RGB light.
Unsurprisingly though, the global variant supports a lower fast charging speed at 65W compared to 80W in China.
