Previously rumored to be the first phone to pack an astounding 24GB of RAM, Nubia’s RedMagic 8S Pro gaming phone has just been introduced in China. Judging by its specs sheet, this could be the most powerful smartphone available on the market, and it’s not just thanks to the high amount of RAM packed inside.

Specifically designed with gaming in mind, the RedMagic 8S Pro boasts a stunning 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, a brightness of 1300 nits, and 960Hz touch sampling rate, which should allow games to react faster while playing.

On the inside, the RedMagic 8S Pro is equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2, which improves the core frequency compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 from 3.2GHz to 3.36GHz, and the GPU (graphics processing unit) frequency from 680MHz to 719MHz.

Still on the inside, the RedMagic 8S Pro features a brand-new ICE 12.0 cooling system which includes a 3D ice stage double pump VC, under-screen graphene, high-speed centrifugal, full penetration duct, and an aviation aluminum frame.

Nubia’s RedMagic 8S Pro is powered by a huge 6,000 mAh battery that should offer up to 48 hours of normal usage, and up to 9 hours of heavy gaming. Not to mention that the battery can be fully charged in 35 minutes with its 80W fast charging version and a standard 80W charger.
