Nubia Red Magic 7S Pro review: Lab tests - display, battery life, charging speed

  Large 120Hz OLED with no cutout The nubia Red Magic 7S Pro features a large, 6.8-inch AMOLED panel with 10-bit color output and can go up to 120Hz refresh rate. In other words, it should be the same exact panel used in the previous Red Magic 7 Pro handset. This also means that HDR10 content is supported and has HLG certification at hand. For improved gaming experience and responsiveness, the panel supports up to 720Hz touch sampling rate with several fingers. That's pretty fast, although it will likely go unnoticed by inexperienced mobile gamers. Sadly, despite the advertised 600 nits of maximum brightness, the panel can reach only 449 nits in either manual or auto mode. Even since Red Magic 3, which is the first handset from the series that came into our office, nubia is yet to implement some auto brightness boost. We think 449 nits are not enough for comfortable outdoor use. Even text is pretty hard to read on a bright sunny day. Display test 100% brightness Black, cd/m 2 White
