The overclocked version of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, which Samsung markets as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, is finally making its way to more phones. The new nubia REDMAGIC 9S Pro is the first non-Galaxy device to feature the chipset, and it offers some impressive features that you won’t find on most other Android flagships.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version on the REDMAGIC 9S Pro is identical to the variant found on Samsung’s Galaxy S24 lineup, with an ARM Cortex-X4 prime CPU core clocked at 3.4GHz and the Adreno 750 GPU boosted to 1GHz. It should offer marginally better performance than the standard variant, but it will likely run hotter.
