RedMagic Titan 16 Pro review: A gaming laptop made by a smartphone manufacturer
Regular visitors to this website may already be familiar with the "RedMagic" brand from the gaming smartphone segment (for example the Nubia RedMagic 9 Pro). The RedMagic Titan 16 Pro is Nubia's first foray into the gaming laptop world. Its data sheet holds no surprises: A Core i9-14900HX is paired with a GeForce RTX 4060. This is joined by a 16-inch screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio, Thunderbolt 4, DDR5 RAM and 2 SSD slots.
Whether Nubia can stand up to the already well-established competition remains to be seen. The Titan competes against the following devices: The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX9, HP Victus 16 (2024), Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (2024), XMG Pro 16 Studio (Mid 24) and the Gigabyte G6X 9KG (2024).

Please note: We have recently updated our rating system and the results of version 8 are not comparable with the results of version 7. More information is available here.
Case - Nubia has gone for an aluminum case
You should always keep a cleaning cloth nearby: The matte-black case's surfaces are super sensitive to collecting fingerprint marks. The aluminum case's base unit and lid can only be twisted a small amount and we didn't encounter any build errors. Applying pressure to the back of the lid doesn't result in any image changes. The very tight hinges hold the lid firmly in position and it only wobbles minimally. Its maximum opening angle is 130 degrees and you can open it with one hand.
Along with the laptop's backlit keyboard, two LED elements bring some color into the mix: The RedMagic lettering on the hinge cover and the logo on the lid shine in all the colors of the rainbow. All elements can be controlled individually. The lettering also serves as a battery indicator: a red flashing light indicates a low charge level.
Within the comparison field, the Titan proves to be one of the most compact and lightweight devices. Even so, the differences compared to the competition are pretty small.
Connectivity - The Titan features Thunderbolt 4
The Titan is equipped with three USB-A ports (2x USB 3.2 Gen 2, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1) as well as one USB-C port (Thunderbolt 4). The latter supports Power Delivery and DP Alt mode. It has a total of two video outputs (1x HDMI, 1x DP). An audio jack and an ethernet port (1 GBit/s) round out its total package.
The video outputs, network socket and power connection are all situated on the back of the device, so corresponding cables shouldn't get in your way during use. A positive is that there is a USB-A port on the left and right side of the laptop.
SD card reader
The SD card reader (reference card: AV PRO microSD 128 GB V60) isn't one of the fastest of its kind but it delivers solid data rates in the medium-fast range. Comparing this with the values of the Blade 16 (2024) proves that significantly higher transfer rates could be possible.

Communication
There are no surprises when it comes to its network options: Wired connections are handled by an established Gigabit Ethernet controller (RTL8168/8111, 1 GBit/s) from Realtek. Intel's WiFi 6E chip (AX211) delivers good to very good data rates under optimal conditions (no WiFi devices in the vicinity, short distance between laptop and server).
Webcam
The webcam (2.1 MP) is a standard affair, including support for Windows Hello. The camera doesn't have a mechanical cover or a physical on/off switch.
Accessories
Aside from the usual documents (quick-start guide and warranty information), no additional accessories are included with the laptop.
Maintenance
After removing all of the screws on the bottom of the case, the bottom case part can be removed with the help of a plectrum or flat spatula. Then you can access the memory banks (of which one is occupied), SSD (PCIe 4, M.2-2280), second SSD slot (PCIe 4, M.2-2280) WLAN module, BIOS battery, fans and the battery.
Sustainability
Lots of cardboard, little plastic: The laptop is enclosed in a film, while a thin foam mat protects the top of the device. The printed quick-start guide is in a plastic bag. A removable base plate makes repairs to the laptop possible—the entire hardware is accessible. Software updates shouldn't be a problem for the next few years—after all, Windows 11 is used as its operating system.
It remains to be seen how Nubia will handle the supply of spare parts and support for its own software. At the time of testing, there is still no download area for the Titan on the Nubia website.
Warranty
We cannot provide any information regarding the laptop's warranty—it is likely to be for around 12 months, which is standard in the United States. We consider extended warranties to be unlikely.
Input devices - The RedMagic laptop with RGB lighting
Keyboard
Nubia has gone for a chiclet keyboard including a numerical keypad. The evenly-lit keys feature a short travel and a clear pressure point. The keyboard doesn't yield when typing on it. A positive is that its offset arrow keys are full-sized. Its RGB backlighting is split into four zones, and our test device has a QWERTY keyboard layout. We can't say whether the manufacturer offers localized layouts.
Touchpad
A multi-touch clickpad (approx. 11.7 x 7.5 cm) with a glass surface serves as a mouse replacement. It has a short travel and a clear pressure point. The pad can be deactivated if required.
Display - An IPS panel with DCI-P3 coverage
It seems that the work-friendly 16:10 aspect ratio has established itself, as most laptops in the comparison field have screens with this aspect ratio—including the Titan. Nubia has equipped its laptop with a matte, viewing-angle-stable IPS display (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) with a diagonal of 16 inches. The panel is super bright and its contrast meets the target value. It is perfectly possible to read from the screen outdoors. A positive is that the 240-Hz panel shows no signs of PWM flickering and supports G-Sync. Alternative displays are not available.

* ... smaller is better
The panel covers the sRGB and DCI-P3 color spaces completely or nearly completely, but not the AdobeRGB space—this is similar to the screens of most competitors. Its decent color reproduction straight out of the box can be increased into the very good range by performing a calibration: Then, its color deviation drops from 3.19 to 0.69 (target: DeltaE < 3). At the same time, its grayscale depiction looks much more balanced.
Our color profile can be downloaded and used free of charge. A link can be found in the info box of the display.

Performance - Raptor Lake and Ada Lovelace power the laptop
The Titan 16 Pro is aimed at gamers and creators, whereby its focus probably lies on the former. A Core i9-14900HX and a GeForce RTX 4060 power the laptop. Its MRSP is US$1,699. Nubia offers additional variants of this device, but they can't yet be found globally.
Testing conditions
Three manufacturer-specific performance profiles (see table) are available to choose from. Balanced mode (benchmarks) and office mode (battery tests) were used during our test. The GPU mode was set to dynamic (= Optimus). Each profile can be called up directly via a separate key in the top row of the numeric keypad. Alternatively, you can change them via the Goper application (control center of the laptop).
| Balanced mode | Gaming mode | Office mode | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Limit 1 (HWInfo) | 45 watts | 100 watts | 35 watts |
| Power Limit 2 (HWInfo) | 140 watts | 140 watts | 140 watts |
| Noise (Cyberpunk 2077) | 50 dB(A) | 53 dB(A) | 47 dB(A) |
| Performance (Cyberpunk 2077) | 66 fps | 66 fps | 60 fps |
Processor
The Titan only has one CPU option available, namely the Core i9-14900HX (Raptor Lake). Its 24 CPU cores (8P + 16E = 32 threads) reach maximum clock rates of 5.8 GHz (P) and 4.1 GHz (E). Continuous multi-thread load (CB15 loop) caused the CPU clock to drop significantly from the first to the third run. After that, a fairly constant level was maintained. The gaming mode profile ensures a significantly higher performance level.
The three power modes deliver very similar single-thread performance at around the same level as the CPU's average. Its multi-thread performance differs to a much greater extent: Only gaming mode resulted in values at the level of the CPU's average during our test, whereas the other two modes were significantly lower.
More information on the Core i9 can be found in our analysis article.

System performance
The smooth-running system provides enough power for demanding applications such as gaming, rendering and streaming. However, some of its computing power remains unused as the RAM (16 GB, DDR5-5600) only runs in single-channel mode—the laptop's low memory transfer rates compared to the competition confirmed this. Installing a second memory module (= dual-channel mode active) would provide a remedy to this.

Graphics card
The GeForce RTX 4060 (3,072 shaders, 128-bit bus, 8 GB GDDR6) is currently a (lower) mid-range gaming GPU. Nubia grants it a maximum TGP of 140 watts—more isn't possible. Its benchmark results are slightly above the RTX-4060 average (balanced mode). Gaming mode doesn't result in an increase. Switching between dGPU and Optimus doesn't require a restart—Advanced Optimus is supported.

Emissions - Too loud, too hot
Noise emissions
The Titan is by no means a quietly running laptop. Even in idle mode, the two fans are constantly audible. Cyberpunk caused the level to climb to a loud 50 dB(A) (balanced mode) or an even louder 53 dB(A) (gaming mode). Office mode resulted in an only slightly more moderate value of 47 dB(A). The fans are quieter in battery mode and occasionally stand still.

Stress test
The extreme stress test scenario (Prime95 and Furmark in continuous operation) checked the system's stability under full load. The CPU operated at high clock rates at the start of the test, but was then throttled to values below 2 GHz. The GPU worked at full power.
Speakers
The stereo speakers produce a pretty decent sound overall. The bass could do with being a little more pronounced.

Power management - The Titan 16 delivers mediocre runtimes
Power consumption
Its power consumption is normal for the hardware installed. Cyberpunk 2077 and the stress test were run with constant power consumption. The power supply (280 watts) is sufficient in size.

Runtimes
The 16-inch device achieved runtimes of 4:40 h during the WiFi test (accessing websites using a script) and 5:16 h during the video test (short film Big Buck Bunny (H.264 encoding, FHD) in a loop)—not great values. Some of its competitors run for significantly longer.

Pros
Cons
Verdict - Room for improvement
A Core i9-14900HX and a GeForce RTX 4060 ensure QHD gaming at high to maximum settings. The installed hardware isn't used to its full potential, as the RAM runs in single-channel mode. It's recommended that a second memory module be installed.
Nubia's debut product does what it is designed to do: Bring games onto its screen smoothly. But the competition doesn't exactly need a reason to be afraid.
Its emission values are extremely disappointing: The laptop produces (too) much noise over the entire load range—plus, it heats up a lot. Its bright, true-color IPS screen (16-inch, 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, 240 Hz, G-Sync, DCI-P3) with a work-friendly 16:10 aspect ratio, on the other hand, left a good impression on us.
The laptop's battery life won't knock anyone's socks off. You would expect (slightly) more from a gaming laptop with an 80 Wh battery. At least its installed USB-C port (Thunderbolt 4) supports Power Delivery (and DP Alt mode). This means that you don't necessarily always have to carry the bulky proprietary power supply with you.
One fact that you should consider before purchasing the device: In contrast to established manufacturers such as Acer, Lenovo or HP, Nubia doesn't really have a presence globally. As a result, it isn't possible to estimate what the situation will be regarding spare parts supply, support and repairs.
Its price of US$1,699 certainly doesn't speak in favor of the laptop: For example, a nearly identical configuration of the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (with the exception of its RAM which is 32 GB instead of 16 GB) currently only costs US$1,350. Another alternative could be the XMG Pro 16 Studio (Mid 24). The price for a comparable version of this device is about US$2,000 (with Windows 11) or US$1,950 (without Windows as an operating system).
Price and availability
The Nubia RedMagic Titan 16 Pro is available from 08/29/2024 and can be purchased for US$1,699 via the RedMagic store.
