The RedMagic 7S and 7S Pro gaming phones have been announced in China, with a global launch of the Pro model to follow on 26 July.

The RedMagic 7S Pro sports the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset with Nubia's dedicated gaming chip, the Red Core 1.

It features an upgraded ICE 10.0 cooling system and the brand's proprietary Magic Frame stabilisation technology.

The shoulder triggers have been upgraded too (over the 7 Pro) with faster response times (520Hz instead of 500Hz). The display is 6.8-inches, FHD+ and uses AMOLED panel tech.

The phone runs on a 5,000mAh dual-cell battery with 135W wired fast charging capabilities.

We don't yet have details of the specifications for the standard RedMagic 7S, although it is not likely to be released outside of China.
