Nubia RedMagic 8 Pro: The flat all-screen gamer with an internal fan and a 6,000 mAh cell.
SpecEagle Editorial·Jan 2023·$649·Score 82/100
8 Pro buys the 8 Gen 2, a physical fan and a giant battery for the price of a vanilla flagship, with a clean flat front uninterrupted by a notch. If your phone is mostly a Genshin machine it is the rational pick of its year; if you shoot photos, look elsewhere.
