nubia has announced the RedMagic 7 and RedMagic 7 Pro, the company’s new flagship gaming phones, in China, as it had announced. Both the phones are powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, feature nubia’s signature cooling system, with its built-in turbofan, a refresh rate of up to 165Hz refresh rate and 960 Hz touch sampling rate. The REDMAGIC 7 Pro is the first gaming smartphone equipped with under-display camera technology.
The REDMAGIC 7 Pro has under-display camera (UDC) technology, with tripod-shaped pixel arrangement and wave-shaped electrode wiring. It also includes seven layers of high-transparency materials, a built-in UDC Pro screen display chip, and more. Operated by the ACE circuit design, the entire screen is perfect for display and shooting.
These have 500Hz touch sampling shoulder triggers, with a response speed as low as 7.4ms. The shoulder triggers make use of a five-channel high performance custom IC to enable a smoother gaming experience and also support a variety of complex actions that can all be custom-made by the player. The anti-sweat and ergonomic design of the shoulder triggers make them more comfortable and ensure their accuracy throughout the player’s gaming experience.
The REDMAGIC 7 and REDMAGIC 7 Pro feature a new ICE 8.0 cooling system. This has a nine-layer cooling structure, creating the first gaming smartphone with a cooling material area of up to 41279mm² and a 4124mm² super large VC cooling plate.
Compared to the previous generation, this includes a built-in turbofan that can reach up to 20,000rpm with a core heat source temperature lower than 3°C. The canyon air duct for the phones also has a second air inlet, which helps to increase airflow by 35% compared to previous REDMAGIC devices. The canyon air duct is made of metal, and the newly added 45° angle opening on the back forms double air inlets, achieving a temperature drop of 2.4°C.
As for the built-in turbo fan, it uses an energy efficient brushless motor that is very quiet at only 28 decibels. This built-in turbofan helps to cool the CPU’s core temperature by 16°C, ensuring continuous and stable output
of the core performance. Integrated with an aerospace-grade Composite Phase Heat Dissipation Material (PCM) the thermal conductivity is increased by 400 times, the ICE 8.0 also includes a new rear cover opening, a new thermally conductive gel containing rare earth materials, a Vapor Chamber (VC), a middle frame, and graphite sheet; all to improve heat dissipation to maintain peak performance while playing.
The REDMAGIC 7 Series can be paired with a new Turbo Cooler featuring an innovative turbo centrifugal fan with a heat dissipating capacity of 17%, a maximum cooling of two degrees lower, and is 3-decibels quieter than competitors. Boosted with RGB light effects, it comes with a silicone gel clip and is available in two versions: transparent and gray. In China, nubia also offers a new Magnetic Cooler accessory with a cooling fan for iPhone users.
The “Born For Winning” series includes air-cooled fast charging supporting up to 135W quick charging and a 5000mAh battery for the REDMAGIC 7 Pro, which can be fully charged in 15 minutes. The REDMAGIC 7 has a 4500mAh dual-cell battery with up to 120W air-cooled fast charging and can be fully charged in just 17 minutes. Both these come with 165W GaN charger.
