Android producers have a tendency to like huge spec sheets, even when these large numbers will not do a lot for day-to-day cellphone utilization. In that vein, we have the brand new high-water mark for ridiculous quantities of reminiscence in a cellphone. The brand new Nubia RedMagic 8S Professional+ is an Android gaming cellphone with an possibility for 24GB of RAM.
The bottom mannequin of the RedMagic 8S Professional+ begins with 16GB of RAM, however GSMArena has photos and particulars of the upgraded 24GB SKU, which is essentially the most quantity of reminiscence ever in an Android cellphone. As a result of we’re all about huge numbers, it additionally comes with 1TB of storage. Remember a 13-inch top-spec M2 MacBook Professional has 24GB of RAM and 2TB of storage, and that is a desktop OS with actual multitasking, so Nubia is de facto pushing it. This suped-up 24GB model of the cellphone seems to be a China-exclusive, with the value at CNY 7,499 (about $1,034), which is rather a lot for a cellphone in China.
You undoubtedly need an satisfactory quantity of RAM in an Android cellphone. All these apps are designed round low cost telephones, although, and with Android’s aggressive background app administration, there’s often not a lot of an opportunity to make use of a ton of RAM. Theoretically, a cellphone like this may allow you to multitask higher, since apps may keep in reminiscence longer, and also you would not have to start out them again up when switching duties. Most individuals aren’t shortly switching by that many apps, although, and a few heavy apps, video games particularly, will simply routinely flip off just a few seconds as soon as they’re within the background.
Different specs embody a brand new “Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2” variant, which seems to be the identical higher-clocked model that Samsung will get for the S23. This runs at 3.36 GHz versus the conventional 3.2 GHz. There is a 6.8-inch, 120 Hz 2480×1116 OLED show and a 5000 mAh battery with a blazing-fast 165 W charging that may totally cost in 14 minutes. The show has an under-screen entrance digicam, as a result of selfies would simply get in the best way of gaming.
The design is fascinating—it is simply all proper angles with out a single smoothed-over edge on your entire cellphone. The edges are flat, the again is flat, and the corners are tremendous tall, with nearly no nook radius in any respect. In panorama mode, there are touch-sensitive shoulder buttons alongside the highest edge for added gaming controls, but it surely doesn’t look comfy to must wrap your fingers round these laborious corners. Simply image the graceful curves of an SNES controller in comparison with this factor—even the instance picture doesn’t look very comfy.
For colour choices, it is available in black, silver, or a transparent again panel with a faux-mechanical design below it, similar to a Nothing Cellphone. That little rainbow circle on the again is a spinning, 20,000 RPM blower fan that pushes warmth out the facet, so you may presumably be gaming with cool temps for a very long time.
The cellphone is up for pre-order at present in China and ships on July 11.
