The 9S Pro is one of a few flagship Android smartphones with the latest Leading Edition of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC on the global market. Now, the brand has finally revealed that it can be ordered for less than $700, even though it has one of the most cutting-edge displays (and flashiest cooling systems) around.

Nubia's RedMagic brand has an early- and a late-2024 version of its flagship UDC display smartphone, the latter of which is very similar to the first except that it has the faster version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, called the processor's Leading Edition.

Its common ground with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra does not end there, as the resulting 9S Pro is actually officially available outside China. It is now available through its own online store as well as on Amazon from today (July 31, 2024).

However, it should be noted that the 9S Pro is cheaper (before shipping, at least) direct from RedMagic, as it starts at $649/€649 as a base model in Sleet (black) with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, as opposed to $749 via Amazon.

The 9S Pro can also be ordered as 16GB/512GB top-end SKUs in Snowfall silver or transparent-effect Cyclone colorways. All 3 options have updated ICE 13.5 cooling with "New Frost Cooling Gel Materials" and an RGB-lit fan, an industry-leading 6,500mAh battery with 80W wired charging.
