Hands-On with Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro+: Massive 24 GB RAM for Only 18 Million

Hands-on with the modern, rugged design of Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro+

Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro+ boasts an incredibly beautiful, luxurious, and modern design with intricate decorative lines that perfectly embody the essence of a typical gaming phone. Specifically, Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro+ features a square metal frame that creates a robust and powerful feel when looked at closely.

At first glance, I thought the design would be uncomfortable to hold, especially when putting it in my pocket due to its very angular corners. However, according to some Chinese reviewers, the grip feels very comfortable, thanks to the edges and corners being meticulously crafted by ZTE to create a soft contact point. Moreover, the device has overall dimensions of 164 x 76.4 x 8.9 mm, weighing around 230 grams, providing a certain level of grip when held.

The back of the Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro+ is crafted from flat glass. Beneath the glass layer, it is adorned with lines resembling carbon fiber, not only making the device visually appealing but also providing a solid feel. Additionally, at the top left corner of the back, the LED RGB lighting system is prominently displayed, while on the right corner, the image of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip is showcased.

Overall, the design approach of the Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro+ back panel is exceptionally unique, showcasing the ruggedness of a gaming phone in a very sophisticated manner by concealing itself beneath the glass. However, this glass surface is highly prone to sweat and fingerprint marks after extended use, so users should remember to clean the device regularly or use the provided back cover included inside the box.

In addition, the back of the Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro+ stands out with a cluster of 3 protruding cameras placed in the middle of the upper corner. These 3 cameras have specifications of 50 MP + 8 MP + 2 MP respectively, quite impressive for a gaming phone. Nevertheless, gaming phones haven't focused much on cameras, so the camera specs like these are quite decent, ensuring good photo capturing ability under adequate lighting conditions, clear image details, and authentic colors.

Turning to the front, Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro+ still inherits the advantages of the previous Nubia Red Magic generation with a completely flat screen and a hidden 16 MP selfie camera underneath. The bezels surrounding the screen are extremely thin, giving the impression that this is a reflective mirror rather than a mobile screen. Equipping the hidden selfie camera under the screen also creates a seamless, expansive display without any distractions.

Regarding the display specs, Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro+ features a 6.8-inch AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution (1,116 x 2,480 pixels), capable of displaying 100% DCI-P3 colors. With these specs, the device can reproduce sharp images with high color accuracy. Additionally, Nubia Red Magic 8S Pro+ is equipped with a 120 Hz refresh rate, 960 Hz touch sampling rate to provide users with smooth touch gestures while gaming or browsing. Moreover, the 2 trigger buttons on the right side have a touch sampling rate of 520 Hz, ensuring instant response for precise actions during FPS gaming.
