To make the most out of such horsepower, the Red Magic 9 Series packs an updated ICE 13 cooling system with a 10,182mm2 area coverage. Nubia claims up to 18 degrees of temperature drop with this.

On top of that, you get a graphene layer and a larger air duct for better airflow. Plus the internal fans spin at 22,000 RPM with 30% improved thermal conductivity than the last gen. And this makes it the ultimate cooling system on a smartphone.

The Red Magic 9 siblings boast an identical flat frame design. Nubia has gone with an aviation-grade aluminum material for the frame and a flat glass panel. The camera sensors are tucked inside with no visible bumps on the surface. You get three color options for both models: Black, Transparent White, and Transparent Black.

As for the display, both smartphones sport a 6.8-inch flat AMOLED panel with a 2,480 x 1,116 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. This BOE-made screen boasts 1600nits of peak brightness and 2,160Hz PWM dimming. You get an under-display front camera plus a fingerprint scanner. The latter also doubles as a heart rate monitor.
