In the last 24 hours, quite a number of manufacturers have announced they will launch phones powered by the new Snapdragon 865 and Snapdragon 765G processors. So far, Xiaomi, Meizu, and OPPO have all confirmed they have Snapdragon 865 phones set to launch early next year. Joining them now is Red Magic, Nubia’s gaming smartphone line.
The official Red Magic Weibo account announced today that its upcoming smartphone (Red Magic 5G) will be the first dual-mode 5G gaming smartphone powered by the new Snapdragon 865.
Other details about the upcoming phone are still unknown at the moment. The Red Magic 3 launched in May and if the manufacturer is sticking to the same timeline, there are still 5 months left before the new phone launches.
Some of the features we expect to see include a bigger battery capacity but probably not a significant increase since its predecessor already packs a large 5000mAh battery. We may also get more vents or a larger cooling pipe to keep the temperature down. The Red Magic 5G phone may also come with a much faster fast-charging technology and more than one rear camera.
We expect other gaming smartphone manufacturers such as Black Shark and ASUS will also announce their 2020 phones will also come with the new processor.
