nubia will launch Red Magic 9S Pro with overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

The Red Magic 9S Pro gaming smartphone by nubia is coming on July 3, and there were uncertainties around what upgrades are coming compared to the Red Magic 9 Pro.

Today, the ZTE-owned brand gave us the answer – an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with a Cortex-X4 core, clocked at 3.4 GHz (instead of 3.3 GHz). The GPU frequency is also increased 10% to 1 GHz. Later, the phone appeared on Geekbench, flexing its computational muscle.

The new phone will have LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, which is not really a surprise since both memory standards were also part of the previous series. Red Magic said the new phone will be "powered by AI," as is the norm these days.

Marketing talk aside, the Red Magic 9S Pro will likely keep the same overall design as the 9 Pro - flat from all sides, including no camera bumps on the back.
