RedMagic 8 Pro是(RedMagic 8 Pro)努比亚(Nubia)另一款年度最佳游戏手机。2022 年，我们评测了RedMagic 7，虽然它不是最适合日常使用的Android手机，但它无疑是移动游戏的首选之一。
努比亚(Nubia)重视前代机型的批评，修复了一些重大软件错误，并大幅淡化了游戏风格的设计，使RedMagic 8 (RedMagic 8) Pro成为更适合日常使用的智能手机。在这篇RedMagic 8 Pro评测中，您将找到在决定是否购买这款新游戏智能手机之前所需的所有信息。
RedMagic 8 Pro：第一印象(First Impressions)和规格(Specs)
打开新中兴努比亚 RedMagic 8 (ZTE Nubia RedMagic 8) Pro 的(Pro)盒子时，我注意到的第一件事就是RedMagic改变了他们的手机设计理念。RedMagic 8 (RedMagic 8) Pro有两个版本：Matte（12GB RAM和 256GB 存储，磨砂后盖）和Void（16GB 和 512GB，半透明后盖）。我为此评论获得了无效版本。(Void)即使是半透明的背面，这款手机也失去了RedMagic 7的“闪亮玩具”外观，我很高兴看到这一点。
RedMagic 8 (RedMagic 8) Pro配备了(Pro)高通(Qualcomm)最强大的芯片组——Snapdragon 8 (Snapdragon 8) Gen 2。它具有强大的功能，可确保游戏过程顺利进行。内置 20,000 RPM涡轮冷却风扇有助于在最长的游戏过程中保持凉爽，我们稍后会详细介绍。
RedMagic 8 (RedMagic 8) Pro可能是第一款在游戏领域和户外游戏领域都表现出色的型号。您可能仍然会在某些 UI 元素中遇到轻微的翻译错误，并且自拍相机的性能还有很多不足之处。然而，如果您能忍受这些事情，您将获得一台出色的Android 游戏机(Android gaming machine)和一部出色的日常手机。

设计与开箱
RedMagic 8 Pro 的(Pro)设计和整体外观与前代产品有所不同。RedMagic过去生产的手机与华硕ROG(Asus ROG)手机一样遵循赛博朋克趋势，具有明亮的配色方案、大量的RGB灯和透明元素。
虽然存在
一些透明部件和RGB灯元素，但疯狂的多彩游戏玩家风格现已消失，智能手机看起来更像是现代手机，而不是闪亮的游戏机。(RGB)
盒子里有什么东西
在我们讨论手机的设计和功能之前，以下是您在拆箱 RedMagic 8 Pro 时会发现的所有内容：
- RedMagic 8 Pro 智能手机
- 电源适配器
- 65瓦快速C型充电线
- 透明手机壳
- SIM 托盘弹出器
- 保修卡
- 使用手册和其他文档
硬塑料外壳非常漂亮，您会想立即将它放在手机上。手机两侧都有切口，因此在游戏模式下不会妨碍手机的使用。保护壳是透明的，您仍然可以看到手机的背面及其所有元素（尽管老实说，我希望保护壳能够覆盖背面的
RGB灯）。(RGB)
手机背面不再是弯曲的。全新的平板玻璃后背看起来更美观，握持起来也更舒适。16GB + 512GB 型号配备了部分透明的背面，您可以看到手机的一些元素，例如旋转的RGB风扇，但它不像RedMagic 7代那样直接出现在您的面前。
RedMagic 8 Pro的侧面更加锋利，有90度的边角。底部屏幕边框变得更窄，使屏幕更具沉浸感。握持手机时，尖角可能需要一些时间来适应，但当手机处于游戏模式时，它们比圆角效果更好。
激活游戏模式的滑块位于右肩触发器旁边，感觉自然舒适。当您水平握住智能手机时，可以轻松打开和关闭游戏模式。
在手机与肩部触发器和游戏滑块的同一侧，您会发现电源按钮和按钮右侧的一个孔。这个孔可能是一个额外的麦克风，您可以在手机处于游戏模式时使用它来捕获您的声音。另外两个扬声器位于手机的底部和顶部，当您水平握住手机时，很可能会被您的手遮住。
手机的顶部有一个3.5毫米耳机插孔和上面提到的扬声器。
底部有另一个扬声器、SIM卡插槽和 USB-C 端口。
在RedMagic 8 (RedMagic 8) Pro的两侧，您会看到两个通风口，用作 20,000 RPM高速涡轮风扇的出口，该涡轮风扇是RedMagic创新多维冷却系统的一部分。该风扇可以手动打开和关闭，当您在游戏模式下长时间玩游戏时，它会自动打开。(playing games)风扇非常适合防止手机过热。
该功能适用于激烈的游戏，但我还发现，当您安装可能导致手机发热的大型固件更新时，风扇会很有帮助。
有多快？
一看基准测试数据，您就可以了解有关这款手机的性能和速度的所有信息。我使用Geekbench 6应用程序测试了RedMagic 8 Pro的整体性能，以下是我得到的结果：
RedMagic 8 (RedMagic 8) Pro获得了2007年的单核分数和5491的多核分数。虽然它的得分没有超过 iPhone 14 Pro Max（分别为 2502 分和 6289 分），但在CPU方面比其前辈(CPU)RedMagic 7和RedMagic 7S Pro有了巨大的进步。它还落后于三星Galaxy S23 Ultra(Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra)（1869和4940）和小米13（1738和5138）。
至于GPU，RedMagic 8 Pro在(Pro)OpenCL测试中获得了令人印象深刻的6443分，但当我尝试运行Vulkan测试时出现了问题。RedMagic Pro 的(RedMagic Pro)得分为 3634，但在人脸检测测试中一直给出零分。
游戏体验
基准测试非常适合比较不同设备的性能。因此，如果您之前使用过RedMagic 7、RedMagic 7 Pro或RedMagic 7S Pro ，您可以准确地看到(Pro)RedMagic 8 Pro型号自那时以来的改进
程度。
强大的芯片和游戏功能专为游戏玩家的手机使用而设计，使RedMagic 8 Pro成为手机游戏领域的绝对野兽。当您第一次打开手机包装时，我建议将其充满电并直接前往好东西 -游戏空间(Game Space)。
游戏空间
Game Space是RedMagic 的(RedMagic)专用软件，可存储您的游戏进度、快捷方式和各种工具，以改善用户体验。该应用程序非常直观，即使您以前没有使用过RedMagic手机，您也可以轻松找到方法。
有些东西我们已经在前几代RedMagic中看到过，但它们仍然像以前一样有用。这些功能包括游戏(Game)大厅及其插件(Plugin)库，您可以在其中查看适用于不同游戏的RedMagic插件、在大屏幕上和使用(RedMagic)计算机键盘(computer keyboard)玩手机游戏的能力，以及使用和自定义肩部触发器的能力。
玩游戏时，您可以从手机的一侧滑动以调出游戏空间(Game Space)叠加层，屏幕两侧各有两个菜单。
您会发现许多可以专门为每个游戏设置的自定义功能，例如调整刷新率、RGB设置、设置更高的帧速率、启用十字准线叠加、打开和关闭风扇等等。
温度
在选择游戏智能手机时，手机的温度起着重要作用。您不希望手机变热并破坏您的游戏过程，因为握住它会变得不舒服。
RedMagic 8 Pro拥有出色的冷却系统，即使在玩(Pro)《原神》(Genshin Impact)等最耗电的游戏时，也能确保您的手机不会过热。据RedMagic称，手机背板最高温度为41.3度。
玩了两个小时的游戏后，我发现温度没有升高。然而，在大约 20 分钟的最新固件更新过程中，我确实看到背板明显变暖。手动打开冷却风扇并将其设置为快速(Rapid)冷却后，温度恢复正常。
音频质量
与其他现代智能手机相比， RedMagic 8 (RedMagic 8) Pro的一大优势是它们仍然保留了耳机插孔。制造商倾向于将其移除，以便为更大的电池和其他手机组件提供更多空间。然而，RedMagic仍然设法在(RedMagic)RedMagic 8 Pro的机身内容纳了一块大电池和一个耳机插孔，所有这些都没有显着增加手机的尺寸和重量。
智能手机的扬声器功能强大，足以充满整个房间，并且可以让您听到游戏事件的每个细节。使用RedMagic 8 Pro看电影的感觉也很棒，因为手机提供了美妙的全屏体验。
当手机刚刚推出时，一些用户报告Netflix应用程序出现问题，但我很高兴地说，这个问题和其他问题，比如我之前注意到的翻译错误，在最新的固件更新中得到了修复。
照片和视频质量
照片和视频可能是(Video)RedMagic 8 Pro唯一表现不佳的
领域。
我觉得RedMagic 8 (RedMagic 8) Pro最有争议的改进是屏下前置摄像头（或自拍摄像头）。将摄像头放置在显示屏下方对于获得不间断的游戏体验来说是一个不错的决定，但它也会带来较差的肖像质量的代价。自拍照要么显得柔和、褪色，要么照片的主题过于突出，照片看起来很做作。
如果您关心视频通话以及您在通话中的外观，那么您也必须牢记这一点。
手机摄像头在具有挑战性的光线条件下也表现不佳。无论是户外平光、逆光场景还是夜间摄影，照片都可能变得模糊或过度锐化。
不过，如果你不是一个关心自拍或拍很多照片的人，主摄像头仍然足以满足正常的日间摄影。如果启用防抖模式，
您还可以在RedMagic 8 Pro上拍摄不错的视频。
电池寿命
RedMagic 8 (RedMagic 8) Pro拥有6000mAh双电芯电池，支持65W快充。在日常使用过程中，电池一次充电即可轻松使用几天。
当以最大功率进行游戏时，您的手机仍可持续几个小时。之后，您可以休息 45 分钟，使用 65 瓦充电器将手机从零快速充满电并继续游戏。
你应该购买 RedMagic 8 Pro 吗？
RedMagic 8 (RedMagic 8) Pro是一款功能强大的游戏手机，绝对是当今最好的游戏手机之一。唯一可以列入缺点的就是相机性能。
除此之外，您将获得一台绝对强大的野兽，具有大量独特的游戏功能、一流的冷却系统、出色的电池寿命和令人愉悦的现代设计。再加上耳机插孔和大存储容量，您就会知道是否应该购买这款新游戏手机。
RedMagic 8 Pro Review
The RedMagic 8 Pro is yet another best gaming phone of the year by Nubia. In 2022, we reviewed the RedMagic 7, and while it wasn’t the best Android phone for everyday use, it was undoubtedly one of the top choices for mobile gaming.
Nubia paid attention to the previous model’s criticism, fixed some major software bugs, and significantly toned down the gaming-style design, making the RedMagic 8 Pro a more suitable smartphone for daily use. In this RedMagic 8 Pro review, you’ll find all the information you need before deciding whether to buy this new gaming smartphone.
RedMagic 8 Pro: First Impressions & Specs
The first thing I noticed opening the box with the new ZTE Nubia RedMagic 8 Pro was how much RedMagic have changed their phone design philosophy. The RedMagic 8 Pro comes in two versions: Matte with 12GB RAM & 256GB storage and a matte back cover, and Void with 16GB & 512GB and a half-translucent back. I got the Void version for this review. Even with the half-translucent back, this phone lost the “shiny toy” look of the RedMagic 7, and I was happy to see that.
The RedMagic 8 Pro is equipped with the most powerful chipset Qualcomm has to offer — the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. It comes with a ton of power to ensure a smooth gaming process. The built-in 20,000 RPM turbo cooling fan helps to keep things cool during the longest gaming sessions, and we’ll touch more on that later.
The RedMagic 8 Pro is likely the first model that excels both in the gaming sphere and outside gaming. You might still encounter minor translation errors in some UI elements, and the selfie camera performance leaves much to be desired. However, if you can live with those things, you get an excellent Android gaming machine and a great everyday phone.
Let’s have a look at the full list of tech specifications of the RedMagic 8 Pro:
- Dimensions: 6.46 x 3.01 x 0.35in (164 x 76.4 x 8.9mm)
- Weight: 8.04oz (228g)
- SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon Gen 2
- Operating system: RedMagic OS 6.0 based on Android 13
- Display: 6.8-inch FHD+, AMOLED, 120Hz refresh rate, 1116 x 2480 pixels, 1300 nits max brightness, 960Hz touch sampling rate
- RAM: 12GB or 16GB
- Storage: 256GB or 512GB
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, NFC, 5G
- Ports: USB-C 3.1, Type-C, dual nano-SIM slot, 3.5mm audio jack

- Battery: 6,000 mAh dual-cell battery, 65-watt fast charging
- Price: $649 for 12GB + 256GB version, and $799 for 16GB + 512GB.
Design and Unpacking
The design and overall look make the RedMagic 8 Pro different from its predecessors. RedMagic used to make phones that followed the same cyberpunk trend as the Asus ROG phone did, with bright color schemes, plenty of RGB lights, and transparent elements.
While some transparent parts and RGB light elements are present, the crazy colorful gamer style is now gone, and the smartphone looks more like a modern phone rather than a shiny gaming console.
What’s in the Box
Before we move onto the phone’s design and features, here’s everything you’ll find when unboxing your RedMagic 8 Pro:
- RedMagic 8 Pro smartphone
- Power adapter
- 65-watt fast type-C charging cable
- Clear phone case
- SIM tray ejector
- Warranty card
- Use Manual & other documentation
The hard plastic case is quite nice, and you’ll want to put it on your phone immediately. It has cutouts on both sides of your phone, so it doesn’t obstruct the use of the phone when in gaming mode. The case is clear, and you’ll still see the back of your phone and all of its elements (though part of me wishes the case covered those RGB lights on the back if I’m honest).
The back of the phone isn’t curved anymore. The new flat glass back is nicer to look at and more comfortable to hold. The 16GB + 512GB model comes with a partially transparent back, and you can see some of the phone’s elements, like the spinning RGB fan, but it’s not as in your face as it was with the RedMagic 7 generation.
The sides of the RedMagic 8 Pro are sharper, with 90-degree corners. The bottom screen bezel has become much slimmer, making the screen more immersive. The sharp corners might take some getting used to when holding your phone, but they work better than round ones when your phone’s in gaming mode.
The slider that activates gaming mode is located next to the right shoulder trigger, which feels natural and comfortable. It’s easy to switch the gaming mode on and off when you’re holding the smartphone horizontally.
On the same side of the phone with the shoulder triggers and gaming slider, you’ll find the power button and a hole to the right of the button. This hole is likely an extra microphone that you can use to capture your voice while your phone’s in gaming mode. The other two speakers are located on the bottom and top of the phone and will likely be covered with your hands when you hold the phone horizontally.
The top part of the phone features a 3.5mm headphone jack and the speaker mentioned above.
The bottom part holds another speaker, a SIM card slot, and a USB-C port.
On both sides of the RedMagic 8 Pro, you’ll see two vents that serve as outlets for the 20,000 RPM high-speed turbofan that’s part of the RedMagic innovative multi-dimensional cooling system. This fan can be switched on and off manually, and it turns on automatically while you’re playing games for a more extended period in gaming mode. The fan is excellent at preventing your phone’s overheating.
The feature’s intended for intense gaming sessions, but I also found that the fan can be helpful when you’re installing big firmware updates that can cause the phone to heat up as well.
How Fast is It?
One look at the benchmark numbers will tell you everything you need to know about this phone’s performance and speed. I used the Geekbench 6 app to test the RedMagic 8 Pro’s overall performance, and here are the results I got:
The RedMagic 8 Pro received a 2007 single-core and a 5491 multi-core score. While it doesn’t outscore the iPhone 14 Pro Max (with 2502 and 6289 points, respectively), it’s a massive gain over its predecessors, the RedMagic 7 and RedMagic 7S Pro in the CPU department. It also leaves behind the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (1869 and 4940) and Xiaomi 13 (1738 and 5138).
As for the GPU, the RedMagic 8 Pro received an impressive 6443 score on the OpenCL test, but there was a problem when I tried running the Vulkan test. The RedMagic Pro scored 3634 but kept giving a zero for the face detection test.
Gaming Experience
Benchmarks are great for comparing the performance of different devices. So if you have used the RedMagic 7, RedMagic 7 Pro, or RedMagic 7S Pro before, you can see exactly how much the RedMagic 8 Pro model has improved since then.
The powerful chip and gaming features explicitly designed with the gamer’s phone use in mind make the RedMagic 8 Pro an absolute beast when it comes to mobile games. When you unpack your phone for the first time, I recommend fully charging it and going straight for the good stuff – the Game Space.
Game Space
Game Space is the RedMagic special software that stores your game progress, shortcuts, and various tools for improved user experience. The app is intuitive, and you’ll easily find your way around even if you haven’t used a RedMagic phone before.
Some things we’ve already seen in the previous generations of RedMagic, but they remain as useful as ever. These things include the Game lobby with its Plugin library, where you can view RedMagic plugins available for different games, the ability to play mobile games on a large screen and with a computer keyboard, and the ability to use and customize the shoulder triggers.
While playing a game, you can swipe from one side of the phone to bring up the Game Space overlay with two menus on each side of the screen.
You’ll find many customization functions you can set specifically for every game, like adjusting refresh rate, RGB settings, settings a higher frame rate, enabling crosshair overlay, switching the fans on and off, and more.
Temperature
The phone’s temperature plays a big role when choosing a gaming smartphone. You don’t want your phone to heat up and ruin your gaming session because it becomes uncomfortable to hold it.
RedMagic 8 Pro has a superb cooling system to ensure your phone doesn’t heat up much, even when playing the most power-demanding games like Genshin Impact. According to RedMagic, the phone’s back plate’s highest temperature is 41.3 degrees.
After a 2-hour gaming session, I noticed no temperature increase. However, during the latest firmware update, which took about 20 minutes, I did see how the back plate got significantly warmer. The temperature normalized after manually turning on the cooling fan and setting it to Rapid cooling.
Audio Quality
One major advantage that the RedMagic 8 Pro has over other modern smartphones is that they still keep the headphone jack present. The manufacturers tend to remove it for more space for a larger battery and other phone components. However, RedMagic still manages to store both a massive battery and a headphone jack inside the RedMagic 8 Pro’s body, all without increasing the phone’s size and weight significantly.
The smartphone’s speakers are powerful enough to fill the room, as well as for you to hear every detail of the game’s events. Using the RedMagic 8 Pro for watching movies also felt great, as the phone delivers a beautiful full-screen experience.
When the phone just came out, some users reported having issues with the Netflix app, but I’m happy to say that this and other issues, like translation errors that I noticed before, were fixed in the latest firmware update.
Photo & Video Quality
Photo and Video are probably the only areas where the RedMagic 8 Pro doesn’t shine.
I feel like the most controversial improvement that the RedMagic 8 Pro received is the under-display front-facing camera (or selfie camera). Placing the camera underneath the display is a great decision for an uninterrupted gaming experience, but it also comes with the cost of poor portrait quality. Selfies either come out soft and washed out, or the subject of the photo pops out too much, and the photos look artificial.
That’s also something you have to take in mind if you care about video calls and how you’ll look on them.
Phone cameras also struggle in challenging light conditions. Whether it’s flat light outdoors, backlit scenes, or night photography — the pictures are likely to come out blurry or oversharpened.
However, if you’re not someone who cares about selfies or takes a lot of pictures, the main camera will still suffice for normal daylight photography. You can also shoot decent videos on the RedMagic 8 Pro if you enable the anti-shake mode.
Battery Life
The RedMagic 8 Pro has a 6000mAh dual-cell battery and supports 65W quick charging. During everyday use, the battery will easily last several days on a single charge.
When gaming at max power, your phone will still last a few hours. After that, you can take a 45 minute break and use the 65-watt charger to quickly charge your phone fully from zero and continue gaming.
Should You Buy the RedMagic 8 Pro?
The RedMagic 8 Pro is a powerful gaming phone and is definitely one of the best gaming phones available today. The only thing you can put on the list of cons is the camera performance.
Other than that, you’ll get an absolute power beast with plenty of unique gaming features, a top-notch cooling system, excellent battery life, and a pleasant modern design. Add the headphone jack and large storage capacity on top of that, and you’ll have your answer as to whether you should buy this new gaming phone.
