Today, the company has officially announced that it is holding a press conference on 19th April to launch its first gaming smartphone under its new gaming brand — Nubia Red Devil.
Talking about the gaming smartphone, the company had previously said that it has included “all possible specs under the microscope.” It also said that it is prepping up to debut a new of line of products that will “provide a more complete gaming experience for the masses.”
