Very Good
Pros
Camera
Large and fast 120Hz OLED panel, the UD selfie camera is inconspicuous.

Performance
The Red Magic 9 Pro is a capable gaming smartphone with tons of useful gaming features.
[gsmarena]
Plenty of gaming-oriented features, including pressure-sensitive shoulder triggers.
[gsmarena]
Battery
Exceptional battery life, fast charging.
[gsmarena]
Software
Probably one of the best, if not the best, price/performance ratios currently on the market.
[gsmarena]
Kudos to nubia for maintaining its competitive pricing.
[gsmarena]
Cons
Performance
High refresh rate gaming is still a hit-and-miss.
[gsmarena]
The right side of the frame is a bit overcrowded as it holds not just the touch-sensitive shoulder triggers, but also the hardware switch for the Gaming Space Center, the power button and the volume rocker.
[gsmarena]
Display
The display is not as competitive in brightness and HDR capabilities.
[gsmarena]
Battery
This is the first Red Magic phone to overheat under prolonged loads.
[gsmarena]
The power button is now round, sits pretty close to the bottom and the volume rocker naturally falls under the thumb, so it takes some time to get used to not pressing the volume key.
[gsmarena]
Software
The software still needs better translation.
