Red Magic x Transformers Gaming Smartphones

Red Magic has just concluded the official reveal of the Red Magic x Transformers collaborations. To call it a Red Magic x Transformers Gaming Smartphone would not be appropriate because this collab extends beyond phones to include a bunch of optional accessories.

While Transformers smartphone collab is not new, the Red Magic x Transformers will make iQOO’s collab with Hasbro look amateurish. For a start, the collaboration has not one but two smartphones.

Both devices are inspired by live-action Transformers movies, with one device drawing its inspiration from Optimus Prime and the other, Decepticon (strangely, not specifically Megatron). The former is based on the Red Magic 7 Pro while the latter is based on the Red Magic 7.

The Red Magic 7 Pro Optimus Prime Edition sports a blue and silver back cover, decorated with a red flame design along with a slightly debossed Autobot logo, alongside the Red Magic logo.

Meanwhile, the Red Magic 7 Decepticon Edition is rocking a dark back cover with purple accents, plus the Decepticon logo in purple and a red Red Magic branding.

As expected, the spec-sheet details of the respective devices remain unchanged. This means features like an under-display camera, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, 135 Magic Flash Charge, ICE magic cool heat dissipation with built-in high-speed fans, and Red Core 1 independent gaming chip for the Optimus Prime cobranded Red Magic 7 Pro and 165 Hz refresh rate display, also Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, 120W Magic Flash Charge, ICE magic cool heat dissipation with high-speed fans, et cetera for the Decepticon cobranded Red Magic 7.

In addition to the obvious back cover and packaging co-branding, the Optimus Prime 7 Pro’s RedMagic OS 5.0 features a custom Optimus Prime UI while the Decepticon 7’s RedMagic OS 5.0 has a Decepticon themed UI.

Those are not it. There is also a custom cable with special weather effects and faction symbols of Autobot and Decepticon, an Autobot/Decepticon branded phone case, an Autobot/Decepticon cobranded external fan, an Autobot and Decepticon SIM ejectors, a G1 Optimus Prime/G1 Megatron collector’s pin, and a Magic fast charger in a special weathered colorway featuring the respective factions’ logo. Basically, this collab has all the works.

The Red Magic 7 Pro Optimus Prime Edition is offered in 18 GB + 512 GB configuration and has a retail price of 6,999 yuan (or roughly US$1,068). The Red Magic 7 Decepticon Edition, on the other hand, is offered in 16 GB + 512 GB configuration and will sell for 5,999 yuan (around US$916). They will go on sale, in China, on April 28, 2022, at 10 AM.

In addition, Autobot-themed GaN wall chargers can also be bought, along with a super cool Autobot-branded 10,000 mAh power bank, Autobot/Decepticon-themed cables, and an Autobot-branded Red Magic TWS earbuds. The Autobot external fan that came with the respective phones can also be purchased separately.
