ZTE nubia Red Magic 7S Pro

Stellar Performance ; Responsive gaming controls ; Not the gaudiest design for a gaming phone

Awful, buggy UI ; In-display selfie cam an odd choice ; Battery not huge for a gaming phone

The Red Magic 7S Pro is an incredibly powerful gaming phone with slick physical controls and a relatively reserved look, but it makes some weirdly non-gaming-friendly design decisions, and its software remains a mess.

Large and fast 120Hz OLED panel, the UD selfie camera is inconspicuous.

No Auto brightness boost.

Sadly, though, some issues are hard to neglect, and they keep us from giving Red Magic phones an excellent score and recommending them over the years. The most prominent issues are the display's lack of auto brightness boost, making it hard to use...

Powerful in every way ; Fun and in-you-face design (though not for everyone) ; Gaming mode ups your game ; RGB lights are fun

Software is not done cooking yet ; Cameras are bad

Superb performance ; Impressive battery life ; Effective built-in cooling

Hit-and-miss cameras ; Lower refresh rate than regular model ; Heavy and bulky ; Only guaranteed one Android version update

The Red Magic 7S Pro is an accomplished gaming phone, but Nubia’s cheaper models are a better bet for most people. The minor upgrades here simply don’t justify a new release.

Effective cooling system with 20,000 RPM fan ; Uninterrupted gameplay thanks to under-display camera ; Shoulder triggers are practical ; 5,000mAh battery with 65W fast charging

Speakers can use some bass ; UDC and cameras are still mid-tier ; Bulky form factor ; No wireless charging

If you're deadset on a gaming phone and want the most spec'd out offering, look no further than this. The RedMagic 7S Pro is rich in software features, equipped with shoulder triggers to give you an upper hand, and is one of the only devices that I've...

The REDMAGIC 7S Pro is one hell of a phone and easily among the most powerful on the market. And when it comes to gaming phones, it’s cheaper than what you’ll get from the Asus ROG Phone line.

Everything about it is fast – gaming, internet speeds, display refresh, touch response. ; Price for performance – blistering fast while being much cheaper than other gaming phones with the same chip ; Excellent screen ; Fast charging and included...

I wish the cameras were better. Images ranged from fine to lousy, especially in lower light conditions. ; As cool as the under-display selfie camera is for an uninterrupted display, video calls and selfies were washed out and blurry ; Wireless charging...

Incredibly well built ; Bright, notchless, AMOLED display ; Built-in active cooling ; Red Core 1 gaming co-processor ; UFS 3.1 storage speeds

Gaming design cues may be polarizing ; Cameras are only average ; No IP rating ; No wireless charging

The latest internal specs, combined with an excellent active cooling system, make the RedMagic 7S Pro the fastest phone I've ever used. The software has also matured to the point where I could recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new flagship...
