In late December, Nubia released the world’s most powerful gaming smartphone, dubbed the Red Magic 8 Pro. But it only went on sale in China, starting at 3,999 yuan ($590). The Pro+ version for the global market changed its name to the Void. Both went on sale internationally today.
The global version of the Red Magic 8 Pro is only available in 12GB + 256GB configuration. It comes with the back cover of the Dark Knight. At the same time, the Red Magic 8 Pro Void is only available in the version of 16GB + 512GB, with a transparent back cover.
The battery and charging parameters of the two global versions of the phone are the same. They both come with a 6000mAh battery + 65W flash charging solution. As a reminder, the Chinese version of the Red Magic 8 Pro has a 6000mAh battery + 80W flash charging option, while the Red Magic 8 Pro+ has a 5000mAh battery + 165W flash charging solution. Thus, the international versions have been fully downgraded in terms of charging.
However, the rest of the key features remain unchanged when compared with the Chinese versions. The Red Magic 8 Pro series is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 + full blood version LPDDR5X memory + UFS4 native storage. Also, it supports mobile light chasing.
In terms of screen, the Red Magic 8 Pro series uses a 6.8-inch 2480×1116 flexible OLED straight screen.
