Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro – filling decides everything
This smartphone is made for those people who are interested in maximum performance at an adequate price. And here you can not argue. The compromise is perfect. Plus, a gorgeous screen, great sound and a set of useful features.
The maximum picture quality on the screen of the Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro smartphone is provided by the OLED screen. These are not just organic pixels that TV manufacturers report. Everything is much more complicated:
- 100% DCI-P3 coverage.
- Sensor layer discretization 960 Hz.
- Maximum brightness 1300 nits. Moreover, in game mode, there are actually 550 nits (manual setting) and 820 nits (automatic setting).
- There is a fine-tuning of color modes.
- The display can be set to 60, 90 or 120 Hz. And in economy mode, the frequency itself drops to 30 Hz.
The powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip is complemented by an active cooling system. Yes, the cooler is installed inside the case. There will definitely not be any friezes in games. In general, in AnTuTu, the smartphone gives out 1 points. Although, the players are no longer on it. Of interest is the number of frames in games on Ultra quality settings. Just for example:
- PUBG Mobile - 90 Fps.
- Genshin Impact - 60 Fps.
- LoL Wild Rift - 120 Fps.
Nice functionality in the smartphone Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro
The gadget has a dual battery that is able to balance the charge. As a result, the Genshin Impact toy, at maximum quality settings, will last more than 5 hours. It's on one charge. Comes with a 65W power supply. It will charge your smartphone from 0 to 55% in just 15 minutes. It is strange that in the international version, fast charging is 65W, while in the Chinese version it is 80W. This is due to some certificates for the American market. Not the point, 65 watts is also normal.
At first glance, the Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro smartphone is a brick. Only when turned on, it glows like a Christmas tree. It's the built-in RGB lighting that makes it so bright and unique. The color and frequency of the indication can be customized for events. Or turn it off altogether.
A deep bow to the manufacturer for the modern USB Type-C connector. It understands USB 3.1 and HDMI protocols. Better-known brands that are limited to the USB 2.0 standard need to take a cue. Fingerprint scanner under the screen. For a more sensitive tactile feedback, 2 powerful vibration motors are installed.
Very pleased with the camera unit. It is definitely not for the mind in the Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro smartphone. Photos and videos come out perfect. In general, like all mobile equipment of this Chinese brand. True, the macro, for all these years, has not been corrected. The footage is disgusting.
Well, the price of the Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro smartphone is a gift of fate. Only $650-800. An analogue in terms of performance (for example, Asus ROG) goes up over the $1000 mark. And here is a modern chip, the best screen in the world, abundant functionality, autonomy, convenient control. A complete set of goodies for real gamers.
