Red Magic 9 Pro
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 gaming phone with flat back.
The Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro is a flagship Nubia smartphone released Dec 2023, with a launch price of $649. It pairs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with a 6.8" FHD+ AMOLED 120Hz, UDC display, a 50 MP + 50 MP UW + 2 MP macro main camera and a 6500 mAh, 80W battery. In SpecEagle's editorial review it scores 89/100 — Flat back, max power. Standout strengths: flat back with no camera bump — sits flush and 6500 mah + active fan + 8 gen 3. Main trade-off: camera still a step behind.
Flat back, max power.
Red Magic 9 Pro replaced the usual camera bump with a flush flat back — the camera sensors integrate into the body. Add Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, an internal fan and a 6500 mAh battery, and you get the most undistracted gaming slab of 2024.
