Nubia just announced its new gaming flagship in China called as the Nubia Red Magic 3S. As the name suggests, the phone is very similar to the Red Magic 3 that was announced back in April in China but comes with a few upgrades in the processor and cooling department. What’s interesting is that the Red Magic 3S starts at a cheaper price tag than its predecessor, offering tremendous value for money.

Nubia Red Magic 3S China & Global Availability

Nubia Red Magic 3S will go on sale on September 9 at 10 AM in China via the company’s official store. It looks like the Black color version of the phone should go on sale sometime later in September.

Nubia has also confirmed that the Nubia Red Magic 3S will be released globally in October 2019. Even India should get the new model sometime after October as the old Red Magic 3 was released in India this June.

Since the Nubia Red Magic 3S and Black Shark 2 Pro both feature Snapdragon 855+ and start exactly at the same price tag of 2999 yuan ($420), it’s worth taking a look at the variants and pricing of the BS2Pro for reference. We’ll compare the specs of the two gaming flagships later in another article.

The Black Shark 2 Pro Pricing is as follows: 
  • 12GB RAM + 128GB ROM – 2999 Yuan ($420)
  • 12GB RAM + 256GB ROM – 3499 Yuan ($490)

So in terms of RAM and storage, the Black Shark 2 Pro definitely has an advantage. A detailed comparison is on its way later today.

Meanwhile, which design do you prefer between the Nubia Red Magic 3S and the Black Shark 2 Pro?
