RedMagic 9 Pro Plus Bumblebee Edition featured

The RedMagic 9 Pro+ has just joined the Transformers, kind of. RedMagic announced a special edition of the RedMagic 9 Pro+, the Bumblebee version.

The RedMagic 9 Pro+ just joined the ranks of the Transformers as Bumblebee

Those of you who have watched the Transformers movies, watched the cartoons, or are generally familiar with the franchise, you’ll know exactly who Bumblebee is. He not only starred in a number of the Transformers movies and cartoons, but he even got his own movie at one point.

As some of you may recall, the RedMagic 8S Pro+ was also announced in a Bumblebee edition last year. Well, the RedMagic 9 Pro+ is following suit. You can check out the gallery below to take a closer look at the device.

The device resembles its predecessor quite a bit

The official name of the phone is the RedMagic 9 Pro+ Bumblebee Edition. It resembles its predecessor quite a bit. RedMagic combined yellow and black accents on the back, though the phone is mostly yellow-colored. There’s also the Transformers logo included on the back.

As you can see in the provided images, this edition also includes some goodies. A custom case is included, along with a custom fan that attaches on the back, and a custom SIM removal tool. You’ll also get a Bumblebee badge it seems, and a charger with the titular character.

It’s very powerful, just like the regular variant

When it comes to specs, it’s basically the same as the regular model. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 fuels the device, while you’re getting 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 flash storage.

A 6.8-inch 120Hz display is also on board, as is a 5,500mAh battery. The phone supports 165W wired charging and a pair of stereo speakers with Snapdragon Sound support. An in-display fingerprint scanner is also included, and so is Android 14 with RedMagic’s custom UI.

There are two 50-megapixel cameras placed on the back, and one 2-megapixel one. The device launched in China, and it’s priced at CNY6,499 ($900). This variant probably won’t get a global version.
