Third-party reviews

What customers like about ZTE Nubia Red Magic 7S Pro (18GB + 1TB)

  • Superlative and top-of-the-line gaming performance due to the powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and up to 18GB of RAM.
  • Excellent thermal management and cooling system, including a built-in fan, that keeps the device cooler than competitors during intense gaming sessions.
  • Uninterrupted, large 6.8-inch AMOLED display without a notch or hole-punch camera, providing an immersive viewing experience.
  • Very fast 65W wired charging, which can charge the phone from near zero to full in about half an hour.
  • Long battery life, with many users reporting it lasts a full day with demanding use or even two days with mixed usage.
  • Responsive, customisable capacitive shoulder triggers (520Hz touch sampling rate) that provide a competitive edge in games.
  • Solid, premium build quality with an aviation-grade aluminum frame.
  • Presence of a 3.5mm headphone jack, a feature often missing in other flagship or gaming phones.
  • Customisable RGB lighting on the back, appealing to the gamer aesthetic.
  • Feature-rich gaming software (Game Space) that offers extensive control and customization options for performance.
  • Good price point for the hardware specifications compared to other flagship or gaming-specific smartphones.
  • Loud and clear stereo speakers.

What customers don't like about ZTE Nubia Red Magic 7S Pro (18GB + 1TB)

  • Under-display selfie camera quality is poor, often producing soft, washed-out images with a lack of detail.
  • Rear cameras (main, ultrawide, macro) are considered average and underwhelming, especially in low-light conditions, and lack optical image stabilisation.
  • Bulky and heavy design that can be hard to use one-handed and feel hefty in a pocket.
  • Software has some rough edges, including occasional poorly translated UI elements, missing basic Android 12 features, and minor glitches.
  • Lack of an official IP rating for water and dust resistance due to the built-in fan system.
  • No wireless charging support.
  • Display could be brighter for use in direct outdoor sunlight, as its max brightness is lower than some competitors.
  • Built-in cooling fan can be noisy when activated.
  • No option for expandable storage via a microSD card slot.

Verdict

The ZTE Nubia Red Magic 7S Pro (18GB + 1TB) is a high-performance gaming smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, featuring a dedicated Red Core 1 gaming chip, a 6.8-inch, 120Hz AMOLED display, and an advanced ICE 10.0 active liquid cooling system with an integrated fan. Key pros include its massive 18GB of RAM and 1TB of storage for seamless multitasking and extensive game libraries, an under-display front camera for an uninterrupted full-screen experience, and 135W fast charging support. Potential cons may involve its considerable bulk and weight due to the advanced cooling hardware, and a UI (user interface) that is heavily customized and perhaps not to everyone's liking.
