We tested one of the greatest phones for “jugadores”: an in-depth analysis of the Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro.

I have to admit that I still don’t fully understand why teléfonos inteligentes are the only objetivo gambling make sense today. First, because móvil gaming habits tend to be in the direction of games in style casual or play in the cloud – the main advantage of which is that it does not require particularly cutting-edge hardware – and secondly, because almost any reasonably powerful móvil which cánido provide a satisfactory gaming experience.

But despite everything, I respect and admire that an effort by brands like Nubia When developing their teléfonos inteligentes, they focus on the part of the public that sees the magic of this type of device and its potential build teléfonos inteligentes completely differently than the otherswhich differs from providing a whole splurge the specs and some aggressive designs unique at the same time.

He is Game RedMagic 6S Pro It’s the latest model in the Nubia móvil family and has been running through our test chart for the past few weeks. It hasn’t changed my mind about teléfonos inteligentes gamblingbut it is very clear to me that those who are looking for a Móvil designed with the aim of providing the best possible gaming experiencethey should consider this model as one of their candidates.

design and presentation

Considering what is usually seen in the segment of teléfonos inteligentes player, Nubia decided not to risk too much when designing the Red Magic 6S Pro.

In fact, the device holds a very afín aesthetic to the Red Magic 6 original, with a Aluminum and glass bodycharacterized by their thickness, size and weight Good quality sturdiness and feel what remains at hand

This is a positive feature of the device the weight is well balanced between above and below. This might be a minor detail on other devices, but given that this is a gaming-oriented device, it’s worth noting. This good cómputo makes it comfortable to hold the device in landscape mode with both hands for a long time.

The back of the terminal it looks aggressivewith gray lines running along the entire glass pane, and a median that Nubia benefits from to integrate the camera system and flash – in a module that barely emerges from the back – as well as the brand’s silkscreens and LED lighting with hidden logotipoconfigurable to act as notification lightsor simply as an aesthetic complement.

In this same strip hides additionally a touch panel configurable, allowing various customizable actions to be performed by a swipe sign.

In this case, the model that has passed our test table corresponds to finish i black color. However, the company has also started variable with transparent axis, which hides RGB light in the seguidor. In both cases the device is a shiny finish what does it matter particularly slipperyand a magnet for fingerprints and dirt.

For his part aluminum chassis there are various additions. So at the top a microphone and a 3.5mm headphone jack. At the bottom are the microSD card slot, USB Type-C, one of the speakers and another microphone.

On the left edge are the volume buttons, one of the seguidor vents and the Switch to enable or disable “Game Mode”. typical of Nubia.

Finally, the left edge is supposed to die Turn device on or offthe other opening of the seguidor and the two configurable touch triggers.

The triggers in question now have a sample rate of 450Hz, so theirs touch response time is reduced to just 8.3 milliseconds. It is the Increase compared to the Red Magic 6 Pro 50Hz.

His face is occupied with a large 6.8 inch OLED screenwith a resolution of 2,400 x 1,800 pixels and a beastly refresh rate of 165 Hz, one of the largest we’ve seen on a móvil to date. The panel has several in turn reduced marginsand some of them a little more significant i above and below.

The fact that some reduced margins –but it is not present– Nubia allowed a start completely waste-freesince the sensors are integrated directly into the top edge of the screen.

He is Screen experience is good, mainly. He is very large liquid fed at 165 hertz it’s just plain addictive – but not the rate at which the battery level drains if this option is left active.

panel colors come supersaturated by default, although fortunately a different color profile cánido be selected vía the system settings. Other problems that are not so easy to solve are those Glass tends to be more reflective than habitual, or certain aberrations in the panel illumination. It is clear that not an excellent screen afín to more expensive models, but without a doubt fulfill its function and allows you to have a good gaming experience.

Under the hidden bezel, too fingerprint reader. It is an optical sensor with good performance speed and accuracy. The sensor is also capable measure heart rate by simply placing your finger on the sensor’s surface for a few seconds.

hardware and performance

There is nothing more powerful than the Red Magic 6S Pro in the Android device market today. The móvil is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ processor, the most advanced from the works of the Californian semiconductor specialist.

it is slightly improved version the Snapdragon 888 on which most of the high-end teléfonos inteligentes launched in 2021 sit higher clock speed on its powerful ARM X1 core and better performance on tasks related machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Along with the processor, it is possible to get 12 or 16 GB of PDDR5 RAM and 128 or 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

And, to no one’s surprise, the The performance of Red Magic 6S Pro is excellent. The differences with other mobile phones with afín characteristics do not appear day by day, but it is clear that Nubia’s new terminal is one of the most performing available today.

Only a few cell phones cánido compete with the Red Magic 6S Pro in terms of power / picture: Christian Collado

When it’s time to play The device seamlessly shifts each trackeven the most demanding resources, and with the graphics options configured to achieve the maximum quality.

Title passed as Call of Duty: Mobile The Red Magic 6S is a unique experience not only for the performance but for the experience of its features like the Display with a refresh rate of 165 Hertz and a touch sampling rateup to 720 Hz – this last option, yes, must be enabled before playing through the device’s built-in “game mode” configuration -.

In addition, Nubia was reached withstand high temperatures and unlike other models based on the Snapdragon 888 platform, the Red Magic 6S Pro does not get too hot like other terminals.

Alternatively, yes, you have to learn to live with it seguidor system Although they are fairly quiet in “sleep” mode, they cánido get noisy when the system detects that the terminal temperature is rising.

battery and charging

He is Capacity 5,050miliamperio-hora Battery The offer Red Magic 6S a good result generally speaking, to be able to find them a day and a half in use without too many problems.

Although, as expected not even a battery of this quality able to survive long gaming sessions without expire faster we neither.

With the 165Hz display mode, active entusiastas and utilizing all features provided by Nubia to improve the gaming experiencethe independence of the device is severely compromised, which is necessary go through the charger at least once a day.

Nubia avoided a cutout on the front by giving the device a slightly wider border than usual at the top and bottom / Image: Christian Collado

The device supports charging the battery Power up to 66W, able to fully charge the battery in just under 40 minutes. However, the coincidente charger is sold separately and one of the following is included with the device. Power 30W.

Unfortunately, this test could not confirm whether these loading times are correct, since the brand He sent us the móvil along with a Chinese transformer, without plug adapter.

programa and experience

There are teléfonos inteligentes that cannot be justified with all the hardware in the world Mediocre programa. And the Red Magic 6S Pro is unfortunately one of those cases.

My experience with the device began with a data corruption problem what compelled me Format the device completely after trying to install an OTA updateforce me to start over with the terminal.

Maybe it’s because it’s a pre-release The terminal may or may not be related to my problem. In any case, the experience with the programa does not improve if everything works as it should.

Put aside the interfazwhose aggressive design is already inspired by the classic “gaming world” of this type of phones is easy to find inaccurate or completely wrong translationsTexts and explanations only available i perfect chinesemaking it a bit difficult to get familiar with the interfaz options.

There is little oportunidad that a an incomplete programa version, and some of the issues should be fixed in the final version that hits stores with the phone.

The Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro programa has its own style, which perro be configured using various predefined themes / Image: Christian Collado

Also, state that the The programa is based on Android 11 and contains various Nubia-specific options and features, many of which aim to modify the gaming experience. Without a a lot of it bloatwarewhat is respectedand the performance of the layer pretty quick and that ready

In addition, problems like that Incompatibility with Widevine L1suggesting this time Aplicaciones like Netflix are fully supported with the device.

The jewel of this programa is the so-called “Game Space”, which perro be accessed vía the red switch located on one of the sides of the mobile phone. When enabled, said spaces instead of booting the systemand it will bring together all the options we could need while playing one of our favorite titles.

The start screen espectáculos a carousel with the Install games on the device. This carousel perro be Customization and even offers the possibility to add other applications no games – like benchmarks or utilities -.

It provides direct access to options such as To enable or disable the seguidor, install plugins or attach one of the various accessories that Nubia is for sale, focusing on its Red Magic series terminals.

In this regard, it is necessary to address a few Nubia features includedwhich perro undoubtedly be very useful when playing, and a I want to see Home page with devices from other manufacturers.

One of them is possibility battery charge limit when the device is connected to the charger and a game is running, so that the device accept Power directly from the chargerto avoid saturating the battery and thus worsening acceleration.

Also includes the option of Avoid network “hops”. during gameplay, even if the device detects that there is a network with better coverage within range.

It’s small details, but what the heck add value to an experience that, apart from the lack of optimization and inconsistencies that appear in the programa, could be excellent Thanks to all the hardware behind it.

Another thing is that Middle. Although today the device has the latest version of the system, Nubia does not have a clear support policyand it is unknown if the device will receive the update to Android 12 or if it will be eligible to receive monthly security patches.

multimedia area

He is cameras They weren’t one of Nubia’s priorities when developing the Red Magic 6S Pro, so it makes little sense to devote an entire section of this analysis to the photo department.

If he does, pause to explain instead various elements that shape your multimedia contentStarting with the cameras.

behind him is through different sensors under the direction of a Camera resolution 64 megapixels Samsung ISOCELL S5KGW3.

There is also a scene 8 megapixel ultra-angle cameraand a sensor 2 megapixel macro resolution. In the beginning there is one single 8 megapixel camera to autofotos and vídeo calls.

Thanks to the high resolution and large aperture of the main sensor The photos taken are more than correct, with a good level of detail and a decent dynamic range. but the Coloursa bit more saturated than they should be in certain scenes.

When the light falls, the watercolor effect is beginning to make itself felt, which espectáculos the weaknesses of this camera system. Night mode is possible a way to hide their flawsBut it’s not exactly foolproof.

He is ultra wide angle camera Finally, there’s a shortcut from the Camera aplicación’s home screen, so you no longer have to switch to “Pro” mode to take photos with a 120-degree angle.

Nevertheless, The quality of this sensor leaves a lot to be desired in terms of the data recorded and the color accuracy.

General, The camera does its joband cánido Nice Pictures with the largest sensor, as long as conditions are on our side. It is not a reference in terms of mobile photography, nor is it intended to be.

A feature that Yes, it is noticeable of this Nubia Red Magic 6S Pro is one of the sound. There is a Dual speaker capable of producing high quality stereo soundthat must also be added I touched her of the DTS X Ultra system.

The speakers perro Volume quite high and free from distortion.

While it’s possible to enjoy a much more immersive experience while playing, it’s probably better to use some good headphones. With that in mind, future buyers of the Red Magic 6S will want to know that this is included like previous models in this series Classic 3.5mm headphone jack.

Finally, this should also be mentioned the vibration motor built into the phone it is of good quality to respond firm and precise which is even able to genera a 4D haptic effect in some games.
