RedMagic 8 Pro
Nubia's RedMagic 8 Pro is one of the first smartphones in the world to launch with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform. It's the most recent top end mobile chipset manufactured by Qualcomm and is the successor to the flagship Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC. The RedMagic 8 Pro is a gaming flagship not just in terms of the chipset under the hood but also in other aspects. It's got a 6.8-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 6,000mAh battery with 65W fast charging, and a whopping 16GB of RAM. The device also features a 20,000 RPM fan with an updated ten-layer cooling system for optimal thermal performance during extended gaming sessions.
Vivo X90 Pro Plus
Back in November last year, Vivo shook up the affordable flagship segment with three beasts: the Vivo X90, Vivo X90 Pro, and the Vivo X90 Pro Plus. All of them pack top-tier hardware and affordable price tags. While we didn’t get our hands on the regular or the Pro variant, we did get hold of its more powerful sibling, the Vivo X90 Pro Plus, and came away impressed with its camera capabilities.
