Despite the fact that the rest of the market continues to grow in performance, power and inheriting some of its striking characteristics, ‘gaming’ phones continue to have their niche and lines such as the Red Magic from Nubia continue to progress at a good pace. The last one to arrive still belongs to its sixth generation and passes in front of the Red Magic 6 and Red Magic 6R. We welcome the new Red Magic 6S Pro.
Unsurprisingly, the new Red Magic 6S Pro inherits some previous features to have a base from which to grow, and it does so by adding more power with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888+. But the touch frequency is also increased for the screen that now has, eye to the data, 720Hz. The highest ever recorded on a mobile phone.

One more leap of power
We start with the specifications of the new Red Magic 6S Pro talking about its power jump thanks to the presence of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888+. The phone is accompanied by several RAM and internal storage options, being able to configure even a model with 18GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 internal space in the transparent version of the terminal. An awful lot of memory for one of the most powerful mobiles of the moment.
As for screen we have a 6.8-inch AMOLED with 20: 9 ratio and FullHD + resolution It reaches 2,400 x 1,080 pixels and offers 165Hz of refresh rate. But when it comes to the touch panel we have 720Hz for a game that is crying out for us to play with it all. In the battery we find 4,500 mAh with fast charge, eye, 120W. Power everywhere.
We get to the cameras and here we have 64 megapixels in front of the rear gear with 8 megapixels super wide angle as the first accompaniment and 2 megapixels macro as the second. And on the front, 8 megapixels for selfies. The fingerprint reader is embedded in the screen, by the way, and now also detects heart rate to improve detection accuracy.
We close talking about connectivity and here we find native 5G, WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.1 in addition to dual GPS, audio connector and the USB type C port for charging and file transfer. We do not want to leave out the dual speakers with support for DTS X Ultra that complete a rather round equipment in many ways but not at all light with its 215 grams of weight. And yes we have Android 11 under RedMagic OS 4.4.
