Nubia’s Red Magic 7 launches globally with a 165Hz display and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1

After launching the Red Magic 7 in its home country China last week, Nubia has officially released its new gaming phone for the international markets. Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the latest gaming-oriented phone from Nubia combines a slick design with mind-boggling hardware. The last year’s Red Magic 6 was the first smartphone to bring a 165Hz refresh rate display to the market, and while the Red Magic 7 isn’t pushing that number further, it still has a lot going for it. Right now, Nubia is only bringing the vanilla model to the international markets, with the Pro variant coming in Q2 2022.

The Red Magic 7 flaunts a 6.8-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate, the highest we have seen on any smartphone. In addition, the display offers 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut and 700 nits max brightness. The panel is identical to the last year’s model but Nubia says it now offers a higher-touch sampling rate at 720Hz and delivers a more stabilized frame rate thanks to the new “2.0 Magic 2.0 GPU” image enhancement system.

Under the hood, the Red Magic 7 is powered by Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, paired with up to 18GB RAM and 256 UFS flash storage. The camera setup is unchanged from the Red Magic 6; you get a 64MP f/1.8 primary shooter, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and an 8MP selfie camera.

Nubia says the phone has an improved cooling system that increases air volume by 35% and offers 400 times faster heat dissipation and absorption. The multi-layer cooling system consists of phase change material (PCM), a built-in cooling fan, cooling air duct, high-conductivity copper foil, thermally conductive rare earth materials, a Vapor Chamber Cooling (VC), and graphite sheet.

The Red Magic 7 also features dual shoulder trigger buttons for an improved gaming experience. The buttons have a very low touch response rate of 7.4ms and feature an anti-sweat coating.

As far as charging is concerned, the phone has a 4,500mAh battery, a step down from the 5,050mAh cell on the Red Magic 6. While the Chinese model supports 120W fast charging, the global model maxes out at 65W.
