Nubia’s latest gaming smartphone has an RGB-equipped fan and ten layers of cooling

theverge.com:

If you’re the kind of gamer who won’t rest until every last component is equipped with RGB lighting, right down to the case fans in their PC, then do I have a smartphone for you. Nubia has just launched its RedMagic 7S Pro gaming smartphone internationally and, much like last year’s RedMagic 6S Pro, some models feature transparent backplates to let you see their internal RGB-equipped fans. These fans aren’t just for show, and can spin at up to 20,000rpm to keep the phone’s internals cool as part of what Nubia calls a “ten-layer multi-dimensional cooling system.”

The phones are a mid-year refresh of the RedMagic 7 released in February, indicating there’s enough interest in these handsets to warrant multiple releases per year. Like Asus’s ROG Phone lineup or Xiaomi’s Black Shark range, these are phones designed first and foremost for gaming, where other smartphone concerns like camera quality take more of a backseat. It’s not an approach that’s for everyone, but clearly there’s a sizable market out there.

The RedMagic 7S Pro’s internals are every bit as gaming-focused as their flashy designs might suggest. They’re equipped with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset (an upgrade over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 found in the non-S RedMagic 7), and up to 18GB of RAM with 512GB of storage. Nubia says the phone’s cooling system runs quieter and has better airflow than its predecessor.

There are a pair of shoulder triggers to act as extra buttons while gaming, and dual haptic vibration motors that Nubia advertises are optimized for gaming. The RedMagic 7S Pro also features a “dedicated gaming chip” called the Red Core 1, which Nubia says is a secondary processor that handles audio, RGB lighting, and haptic feedback. Since
