It also includes seven layers of high-transparency materials, a built-in UDC Pro screen display chip, and more. Operated by the ACE circuit design, the entire screen is perfect for display and shooting. As a result, REDMAGIC 7 Pro is the first flagship gaming smartphone with a UDC to offer the most complete and immersive gaming experience.
For the REDMAGIC 7 Series, the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip features a mega core at 3 GHz, three large cores at 2.5 GHz, and small cores at 1.8GHz in an octa-core configuration. The results are 20% higher CPU performance, 30% higher CPU power efficiency, 30% higher GPU performance, and 25% higher GPU power efficiency. Also, its ultra-advanced 7th Gen AI Engine enables operating speeds up to four times faster than its predecessor.
The “Born For Winning” series includes air-cooled fast charging supporting up to 135W quick charging and a super large 5000 mAh battery for the REDMAGIC 7 Pro, which can be fully charged in only 15 minutes. The REDMAGIC 7 has a large dual-cell battery of 4500 mAh, supporting up to 120W air-cooled fast charging and can be fully charged in just 17 minutes, helping players get back into the game faster after a short break to recharge.
REDMAGIC 7 series edition adopts a custom-built OS using the latest Android 12 version called REDMAGIC OS 5.0 and is based on in-depth optimization of the software and hardware. The new operating system has intelligent scheduling of CPU, GPU, and memory to respond faster when performance is required, shortening load times such as booting, application startup, game loading and touch screen response. Also the rendering system can trigger related resources for scenes with different refresh rates to ensure a stable frame rate at high-refresh speeds, and intelligent power saving at low-refresh speeds.
The REDMAGIC OS 5.0 also improves the Touch Choreographer (TC) feature, making the frame rate more stable throughout the user experience. The screen refresh rate is optimized from 60Hz, 90 Hz, 120Hz to 165 Hz for the REDMAGIC 7 to provide the smoothest experience while gaming. For the REDMAGIC 7 Pro, the touch sampling rate jumps up a scale to 960 Hz, and it has a 120 Hz screen refresh rate.
The new OS offers an upgrade for the REDMAGIC Studio, supporting up to 120Hz wireless projection, providing direct screen recording and screencasting. It allows players to choose the screen recording's file format and compression rate: default is H.264, 1080p. The screencast recording also supports marking and recording important event points. In addition, the REDMAGIC Studio feature supports a wired projection of up to 165Hz high frame rate with HDMI cast and USB cast.
Its 6.8" FHD+ AMOLED display incorporated in both new flagship gaming smartphones has a screen ratio of 20:9, a resolution of 2400*1080, and a screen to body ratio of 91.28%. Also, the color performance is impressive with the stunning depth of 10bit color depth and full DCI-P3 color. The peak brightness for the REDMAGIC 7 is 700 nits with a contrast ratio as high as 1000000:1. The REDMAGIC 7 Pro has 600 nits with a contrast ratio as high as 1000000:1 even during daylight, and is ultra-clear and vivid and certified by SGS for eye care.
The REDMAGIC 7 and REDMAGIC 7 Pro both have 500Hz touch sampling shoulder triggers, which is a response speed as low as 7.4ms, making the devices extremely responsive giving the player a faster and more accurate gaming experience. The shoulder triggers make use of a five-channel high-performance custom IC to enable a smoother gaming experience. The shoulder triggers also support a variety of complex actions that can all be custom made by the player. Both new gaming smartphones integrate a new Magic GPU image enhancement and Magic Write for ultra fast reading and writing technology. The Magic Write increases the speed of application installation by 30% faster than competitors equipped with SSD.
With the flip of a switch on the side of the REDMAGIC 7 and REDMAGIC 7 Pro, the user is taken into the REDMAGIC Game Space. A specialized zone where games can be collected and the performance of the gaming smartphone can be tweaked, such as options for battery saving, blocking notifications, or pushing the gaming smartphone to maximum performance settings. Within the Game Space, this is where the gamer can make full use of the shoulder triggers, and customize how they are used in their favorite games such as COD: Mobile, PUBG, or Genshin Impact.
The REDMAGIC Game Space is also home to many quality of life improving features for gamers, such as various ways to interact with messages while in game, everything from completely blocking messages, answering messages while playing, to reading them easily on-the-fly without interrupting the game.

The powerful REDMAGIC 7 and REDMAGIC 7 Pro gaming smartphones are equipped with a new heat dissipation cooling system upgraded from ICE 7.0 to ICE 8.0 cooling system. The new cooling system has a nine-layer cooling structure, creating the first gaming smartphone with a cooling material area of up to 41279mm² and a 4124mm² super large VC cooling plate.
Compared to the previous generation, the latest ICE 8.0 cooling system includes a built-in turbofan that can reach up to 20,000rpm with a core heat source temperature lower than 3°C, compared to the previous generation. The canyon air duct for the REDMAGIC 7 and REDMAGIC 7 Pro also has a second air inlet, which helps to increase airflow by 35% compared to previous REDMAGIC devices. The canyon air duct is made of metal, and the newly added 45° angle opening on the back forms double air inlets, achieving a temperature drop of 2.4°C.
As for the built-in turbo fan, it uses an energy efficient brushless motor that is very quiet at only 28 decibels. This built-in turbofan helps to cool the CPU’s core temperature by 16℃, ensuring continuous and stable output of the core performance.
Integrated with a aerospace-grade Composite Phase Heat Dissipation Material (PCM) the thermal conductivity is increased by 400 times, the ICE 8.0 also includes a new rear cover opening, a new thermally conductive gel containing rare earth materials, a Vapor Chamber (VC), a middle frame, and graphite sheet; all to improve heat dissipation to maintain peak performance while playing.
