Red Magic teases new phones with close to 7" displays, Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Edition

2024-10-25

You know how some people joke that phones these days are as big as tablets? Well, it won’t be a joke for much longer but instead will turn into reality.

Red Magic is teasing that a new era is coming, the “7 era” and that “It is worth waiting for 7!” in a post on Weibo. These teasers are as subtle as a 7-inch phone. But that might actually be the small model. No, really.

Leakster Digital Chat Station reports that the Red Magic 10 Pro and 10 Pro+ will have a flat, high-resolution screen that is “about 7 inches” in size. This with an under display camera, just like other recent models from the company.

And here’s the kicker – the Red Magic 10 Ultra will have a 7+ inch screen, according to DCS. It might measure 7.5 inches, but exact dimensions are just a guess for now. Anyway, a 7+ inch display on a non-foldable phone means that the device will be huge.

Red Magic also teases that the upcoming models will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite “Extreme Edition”. We don’t know what that means – in the past, Red Magic has used overclocked versions of Qualcomm’s chips. But the 8 Elite already runs at a bonkers 4.32GHz, is there really room to go higher? Maybe, Red Magic phones have active cooling, after all, so they don’t have the same heat dissipation limits as other phones.

There is no exact date for the Red Magic 10 series unveiling, but it will happen soon.
