The Nubia Red Magic 7S Pro is already available in China, but the company only recently released the handset for the global market as a successor to the 7 Pro. However, as is typical with biannual upgrades, the 7S Pro isn’t a full-fledged successor.
It’s more of a makeover. That’s because many of the features and hardware found on the 7 Pro are also found on the 7S Pro.
However, if you are looking for a gaming-centric smartphone, you should consider getting the 7S Pro rather than the 7 Pro.
The chipset is the most obvious and likely most important. The 7S Pro is powered by the updated Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which is manufactured on TSMC’s 4nm process.
The standard SD 8 Gen 1 was created by Samsung, and Qualcomm now claims a 30 percent improvement in efficiency over the original SoC thanks to TSMC’s improved node.
It will be interesting to compare the test results of the 7 Pro and the 7S Pro because both handsets share almost all of the same hardware, with the exception of the chipset.
