A Nubia-made phone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 appeared in benchmarks in late August, and we suspected it might be a new Red Magic phone. We now have more solid proof that was indeed the case as Red Magic has confirmed that its 9 Pro will launch on November 23.
The date announcement came via a social media post, where the brand’s gaming wing said the new phone will not only bring evolution in design, performance, battery life and screen.
The teaser does not include the image of the smartphone. Looking at Red Magic’s previous Pro models, we should probably expect a triple camera setup, a cooling fan and an under-display selfie camera.
According to a Geekbench listing from August, the Red Magic 9 Pro will have a 12GB RAM option. However, it may have more powerful options, such as 16 GB or even 24 GB.
The phone will likely ship with Android 14, the latest version of RedMagic OS, and a hardware switch on the side to toggle gaming mode out of the box.
We’ll know everything at next week’s launch, but there should be teasers and trailers in the days leading up to the event.
