Nubia launched the Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro series gaming smartphones globally on Monday, January 16, 2023. The new Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro 5G is the first in the world to feature the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The handsets made their debut in China, last month. However, for the global variants, the company has altered the branding of the Pro Plus model, which is called the Red Magic 8 Pro “Void.” Additionally, because of its textured, opaque back body, the base model is referred to as “Matte.” This latest series of smartphones is a follow-up to the company’s older Red Magic 7 Pro lineup.
Moreover, the global variant offers a 6,000mAh battery and 65W charging support. The handsets run on Android 13-based RedMagic OS 6.0 out of the box. Let us know more about the specifications, price, availability and other details of the newly launched handsets.
