What's different on the Red Magic 6S Pro and hardware overview

SMARTPHONE RECOVERY PRO REVIEW FULL

Since there are some upgrades to the 6.8-inch display, we also need to test its performance.ДЇor every other aspect of the Red Magic 6S Pro, head over to our full and extensive review of the vanilla Red Magic 6. We have our work cut out for us as well - since the Red Magic 6S Pro is essentially the same as the Red Magic 6 in terms of design, exterior, as well as most of its other specs, aside from the chipset, we need to focus on performance - burst and sustained, thermal-throttling behavior and battery endurance on the new model. In that sense, the Red Magic 6S Pro has its work cut out for it - tame the Snapdragon 888+ and its heat output to the best of its abilities and for extra points, do it better than the ROG Phone 5s Pro.

This is evident from specs alone but also became really clear after we tested the ROG Phone 5s Pro after its upgrade to the same Snapdragon 888+ chip. The Snapdragon 888+ is mostly a 'flex' on paper rather than a source of actual, better in-game performance over the Snapdragon 888 but it does run hotter. That's arguably the most important task the Red Magic 6S Pro has to pull off - keep the Snapdragon 888+ well-cooled, with as little thermal-throttling as possible. So we might see the heat part of this equation having less weight here. The built-in fan means the Red Magic 6S Pro has active cooling, and it is not a closed, passively-cooled system. An active, built-in cooling fan has been a staple of the Red Magic line for some time now, and it is also present here. That being said, the Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro is not exactly your typical smartphone. Not exactly ideal in your typical smartphone - essentially a thermally-isolated and closed system, with a fixed power and heat envelope, as well as limited battery capacity. With that, inevitably, introducing more heat and more battery drain. The Snapdragon 888+ takes all of that and, among other things, bumps up the maximum frequency of the Prime Kryo 680 CPU core from 2.84 GHz up to 2.95 GHz. The thing is that the Snapdragon 888 already got a bad rep for running quite hot and siphoning plenty of power. ZTE does also claim the new revision includes internal cooling improvements, which could actually turn out to be the most important part of the update, at least going by our impressions from the ROG Phone 5s Pro.

Just like the ROG Phone 5s is, to the vanilla ROG Phone 5. The Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro is essentially a Red Magic 6, with an upgraded Snapdragon 888+ chipset and souped-up display touch sampling.

This is the same rat race that spawned the latest ROG Phone 5s pair into existence and the very same one that is behind nubia's decision to create the Red Magic 6S Pro, which we have for review today.

Gaming phones have to offer buyers the latest and greatest hardware since if they don't, the competition definitely will. Click here for our full and extensive review of the vanilla Red Magic 6, which the Red magic 6S Pro is based on.ДЇor a gaming device like the ZTE Nubia Red Magic 6, keeping up with the latest silicon releases comes with the territory.
