RedMagic 9 Pro: Affordable flagship smartphone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and active cooling available for preorder at a discount

Preorders for the RedMagic 9 Pro have begun. The model can be preordered until January 2. Nubia's preorder process is unusual: interested parties can secure a discount of $30 for $1, and the smartphone should arrive at the customer's home one day before the actual release.  Users who recommend the smartphone via a corresponding link may even win a higher discount of $400 or the smartphone itself. The smartphone comes with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage for $649, while the model with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage costs $769 without a discount.

The 229-gram smartphone is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is intended to deliver consistently high performance with a special cooling system - a special fan is also used for this purpose. A 6.8-inch display with a resolution of 2480 x 1116 and a maximum brightness of 1600 cd/m² is installed. Corning Gorilla Glass protects the AMOLED screen from damage. The color accuracy or color deviation is specified as a Delta E value of less than 1.

A total of four cameras are installed: the rear camera has a resolution of 50 MP and the front camera has a resolution of 16 MP. The 6500 mAh battery can be charged with up to 80 watts. Operation with two SIM cards is supported, even on the 5G network. Lastly, two shoulder buttons for video games are also available.
