Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro specs leaked via TENAA listing, slated to run on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC

New leaks suggest that Nubia’s Red Magic 8 series of smartphones could be on their way to China. The leaks, which appeared on Chinese social media site Weibo, provide a detailed list of specifications for the Shenzen-based manufacturer’s upcoming Red Magic 8 and Red Magic 8 Pro handsets. The Red Magic 8 series is expected to be among the world’s first gaming phones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.

According to a report from Gizmochina, the alleged Nubia phone appeared on the TENAA certification website and was quickly taken down. However, observant users spotted the listing before it disappeared and posted a screenshot of the listing on Weibo. This is not the first leak surrounding the device. The report mentions that a device believed to be the Red Magic 8 Pro with model number NX729J appeared on China’s 3C certification platform in November.

The screenshots posted on Weibo provide a detailed look at the specifications of Nubia gaming smartphones. The Red Magic Pro 8 will sport a 6.8-inch OLED display, with a screen resolution of 2,480 x 1,116 pixels, according to leaks. Just like its predecessor, the Red Magic 7S Pro, the smartphone will sport narrow bezels and an under-display front camera, with no punch-hole cutout. Along with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, the Red Magic 8 series will come in 8GB, 12GB, and 16GB RAM variants, screenshots on Weibo suggest.

The TENAA listing also suggests that the device will come in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options and two different battery capacities – 5,720mAh and 4,900mAh. A report from GSMArena also mentions that the Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro will support 165W wired charging.

Other specs include a 16-megapixel under-screen front camera and a triple rear camera setup that includes a 50-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel ultrawide, and a 2-megapixel tertiary camera.

ZTE-owned Nubia launched the Red Magic 7S Pro in July starting at $729 (around Rs 60,000). The gaming-focused smartphone comes with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC out of the box. The handset also featured a dedicated Red Core 1 gaming chip.
