Red Magic 10 Pro and Red Magic 10 Pro+ flagships are here and they have what the brand calls the Snapdragon 8 Elite “Extreme Edition”.
The pair mostly shares the same specs. The main difference is the battery and charging – the 10 Pro has a 6,500mAh battery with 80W charging, while the 10 Pro+ ups it to a 7,050mAh silicon-nitride pack with 120W charging.
While the nubia Red Magic 10 Pro packages 256GB or 512GB with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM as standard, the Pro+ comes with either 512GB or 1TB and either 16GB or 24GB of RAM. That’s UFS 4.1 Pro, a faster standard than UFS 4.0.
