Forget streaming; this upcoming Android wants to full-on emulate your favorite PC games
TL;DR The REDMAGIC 10S Pro will launch on Monday with a built-in PC emulator, according to a Weibo post from the company.
It may support titles like Wuthering Waves and Blade & Soul 2.
The phone packs a boosted Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, a 7,500mAh battery, and an advanced cooling system.
The Nubia REDMAGIC 10 Pro is high on our list of the best phones for gaming, and its successor looks like it's about to open up another dimension to mobile play. The REDMAGIC 10S Pro is set to launch on Monday, and according to the company, it will feature a PC emulator.
The announcement came via a post on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, where the REDMAGIC account teased the feature with an image of the phone and a mock-up of a game on screen with external game controllers. A caption stated it would let users 'play PC games anytime, anywhere.' This upgrade for the series suggests users could enjoy full desktop titles without cloud streaming or third-party hardware.
While REDMAGIC hasn't detailed how the emulator works, a page on NubiaMart offers some early insight into what it might support. It suggests compatibility with titles like Wuthering Waves, Blade & Soul 2, Arena Breakout, and Delta Force: Hawk Ops running at up to 144Hz.
'play PC games anytime, anywhere.'
This kind of native PC gaming capability on Android echoes earlier experiments from other manufacturers. Xiaomi showed off a system in January that could run Steam games on an Android tablet using its WinPlay tech. That effort was still in early testing, but REDMAGIC seems ready to ship something real.
The REDMAGIC 10S Pro also looks set to be a spec-heavy device. According to the NubiaMart page, it features an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, REDMAGIC's custom R3 Pro gaming co-processor, and a huge 7,500mAh battery with 120W fast charging. The cooling system has also been upgraded, with direct-contact CPU cooling and bypass charging support.
REDMAGIC will reveal the phone in full on May 26 at 3 PM local time in China. International availability has yet to be announced.

China unveils metrology plan to boost chip, quantum fields by 2030, beat US in tech
China has announced a five-year action plan aimed at driving disruptive innovation in metrology, the science of precise measurement. Released by the State Administration for Market Regulation, the 2030 plan prioritizes major breakthroughs in chip technology and quantum-scale measurement. A recent report in the ministry's Science and Technology Daily highlights that China's plan aims to address multiple 'pain points' in its metrology capabilities, focusing on areas where measurement technologies are lacking or require improvement. Metrology related to chips and rare earth magnets has become a key battleground in the US-China tech rivalry. While Washington tightens export controls on advanced chips over national security concerns, China is leveraging its dominance in rare earth metals by imposing its own export restrictions, the South China Morning Post writes. Precise and reliable measurements are essential for many industries, so expanding metrology capabilities is a strategic priority for both China and the US. China's recent action plan aims to achieve comprehensive improvements in basic metrology and secure key breakthroughs across more than 50 core metrology technologies by 2030. Designed to support China's 2021-2035 metrology development goals, the plan sets out to establish over 20 world-class metrology benchmarks and create at least 100 innovative devices and standardized materials. The plan aims to enhance various sectors including trade settlement, healthcare, environmental monitoring, climate change, disaster prevention, food safety, criminal justice, and maritime operations. The plan emphasizes advancing metrology research across several cutting-edge fields, including artificial intelligence, miniaturized sensing technologies, robotics, materials and additive manufacturing, measurement methods, comparison techniques, and the quantum-based reform and reproduction of the metric system. A key focus is the development of precision measurement and sensing devices that utilize quantum physics, such as quantum gyroscopes designed for navigation. To push the boundaries of precision measurement, China plans to develop advanced quantum metrology devices, including distributable reference instruments that surpass the limitations of traditional techniques. The initiative also expands research into chip-scale metrology, focusing on technologies such as nanoscale integrated circuits, neural network chip measurements, and on-chip frequency combs used to measure exact light frequencies. Moreover, the plan comes less than a year after CHIPS for America—a U.S. Department of Commerce office established under the 2022 Chips and Science Act to boost American leadership in semiconductor research and production—launched its own initiative to tackle metrology challenges. As semiconductor components continue to shrink and grow more complex, precise and reliable measurement has become increasingly vital to ensuring manufacturing quality and technological competitiveness, SCMP adds. Furthermore, the 2030 plan includes advancing metrology for rare earth magnets—powerful materials made from elements largely mined and processed in China. Beijing recently added seven of these elements to its export control list, following new U.S. tariffs. Rare earths are vital for electric vehicles, electronics, and defense, leaving countries like the U.S. heavily reliant on Chinese supply.

China blasts US for its computer chip moves and for threatening student visas
TAIPEI, Taiwan — China blasted the U.S. on Monday over moves it alleged harmed Chinese interests, including issuing AI chip export control guidelines, stopping the sale of chip design software to China, and planning to revoke Chinese student visas. 'These practices seriously violate the consensus' reached during trade discussions in Geneva last month, the Commerce Ministry said in a statement.
