ZTE nubia Red Magic 7Pro / ZTE nubia Red Magic 7 Pro

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

No Auto brightness boost.

There's also the subpar camera performance, bad battery life, poorly translated software and dim screen that don't really make a case for an affordable, all-around flagship. The UD selfie camera novelty and the extra gaming features, which are pretty...

Uncompromising hardware and excellent performance ; Dedicated gaming controls ; Super-fast charging

Thick and heavy handset ; Poor software experience ; Only average cameras

The Redmagic 7 Pro builds on what was already a powerful and capable gaming phone with better battery life, improved cooling and impeccable performance. Additions such as an under-display selfie camera help it stand out, but it remains a bulky handset...

Blisteringly fast performance ; Gorgeous, buttery smooth display ; Decent battery life ; Stellar thermal management ; Transparent design is still cool...

...but gamer aesthetic isn’t for everyone ; Cameras are dull ; No wireless charging support ; Lack of IP rating ; Photo watermarks on by default

The RedMagic 7 Pro picks up where the RedMagic 7 falters, making for a fantastic gaming phone. This SnapDragon 8 Gen 1 rocket packs a big battery, a chunky, premium build quality and superior thermal management.

Class-leading performance ; Solid battery life ; Most responsive display in any phone

Iffy under-display selfie camera ; Refresh rate down to 120Hz ; Relatively expensive

The Red Magic 7 Pro is the most ambitious gaming phone Nubia has ever made, but it doesn’t get everything right. Unless you need a more responsive screen or longer battery life, the regular model offers better value for money.

Solid, updated design ; Fantastic performance ; Smooth 120Hz UDC display with adjustable refresh rate ; Fairly decent camera ; Loud speakers ; Solid battery life ; 3.5mm audio jack ; Phone stays cooler during extended gaming with fan ; Runs on Android...

NextWord Browser ; Same camera as previous devices ; Few months slow on Android security updates ; Some stock Android software duplicated

Like its predecessors, the REDMAGIC 7 Pro is a solid-performing gaming device with flagship specs, a smooth display, decent battery life, and fast charging. The big update with the 7 Pro over the 7 is higher baseline RAM and storage configurations as...

16GB RAM and 256GB base configuration is plenty ; Turbofan and shoulder buttons are practical ; 3.5mm headphone jack ; Notch-free display

Front and rear cameras are lackluster ; No IP rating for water and dust resistance ; No wireless charging

Impressive power ; Reliably smooth mobile gaming ; Gorgeous display and audio ; Slick design

It's big and heavy

At $799, the RedMagic 7 Pro is one mean beast. But if you care about your phone also providing the best photography or software experience, then this isn’t the handset for you.

120 Hz AMOLED bezel-less display ; Cool transparent and backlit design ; High-quality stereo speakers ; Unmatched performance without overheating

Disappointing camera module ; Battery life could be improved for longer gaming sessions ; No IP certification ; Fuzzy update policy

Let's return to Redmagic's goal at the beginning of this review, which is "to provide an unparalleled gaming experience to allow young people to play without limits." In that light, I find the mission to be a total success. But that's exactly what I...

Unique design and premium feel ; Brilliant 120Hz OLED display ; Excellent performance in games and apps ; All-day battery life with fast charging ; Great haptics in games ; Price and availability ; What's in the box ; Design ; Specifications ; Cameras...

Enormous and wide device ; Camera is OK at best, not great ; It lacks standard Android 12 features, and it’s a bit buggy ; The speakers left me unimpressed ; No IP water or dust resistance ; Unique and eyebrow-raising transparent design ; Premium and...

The nubia REDMAGIC 7 Pro is one of the best gaming smartphones in 2022. It has a large, responsive, and beautiful display. It performs excellent under-load, and it’s one of the best devices if you want to take your gaming experience to a whole new...
