Chinese smartphone manufacturer ZTE Nubia has launched a brand-new flagship called the Red Magic 9S Pro, a gaming smartphone with ‘game-changing power’.

Depending on the model you’ll get either 256 GB or 512 GB of internal storage. There’s no card slot for adding external memory. The Red Magic 9S Pro comes with 12 GB or 16 GB of RAM.

On the back ZTE Nubia has installed a triple camera setup, including a 50 MP wide camera lens, a 50 MP ultrawide camera lens and a 2 MP camera to add depth to your pictures. On the front there’s a 16 MP second generation under-display camera for shooting selfies.

The Red Magic 9S Pro runs Android 14 with Red Magic OS 9.5 custom skin.
