ZTE’s sub-brand announced over the weekend that what we believe to be the company’s last Red Magic 9 series phone, will be officially unveiled on July 3. The phone is called Red Magic 9S Pro and follows other Red Magic series 9 phones like the Red Magic 9 Pro and 9 Pro+.
Just like the previous models, the Red Magic 9S Pro will be initially introduced in China, but it’s probably going to make it to other countries soon afterward. With the upcoming 9S Pro, Nubia is trying to add a bunch of AI-related features to its gaming series.
That said, we don’t expect too many changes in terms of hardware. If Nubia follows the same strategy as it did with the Red Magic 8S Pro, then the 9S Pro should pack the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor like the 9 Pro and 9+ Pro.

Aside from that, the phone is probably going to boast the same stunning 6.8-inch AMOLED FHD+ display with 120Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
If Nubia keeps the same camera configuration too, then the Red Magic 9S Pro will feature a triple camera setup (50MP + 50MP + 2MP), and a secondary 16-megapixel front-facing camera.
The only difference might be related to the battery. While the Red Magic 9 Pro features a 6,500 mAh battery, the Red Magic 9 Pro+ comes with a much smaller 5,500 mAh battery. This means that the Red Magic 9S Pro could include either of the two.
But we’ll know more about this one next week when Nubia plans to announce it, or maybe in just a few days thanks to Chinese tipster.
