Nubia RedMagic 9S Pro: The flat-back fan-cooled gamer, refreshed with Leading-Version silicon.
SpecEagle Editorial·Jul 2024·$649·Score 80/100
9S Pro buys the binned Gen 3, a physical fan and a giant battery for the price of a vanilla flagship. If your phone is primarily a Genshin/PUBG machine it's the rational pick; if you take photos, it isn't.
