Nubia’s Red Magic line of gaming smartphone is preparing to announce a new phone. The device, which is currently referred to as the Red Magic 5G, first appeared in the news in early December. In the following weeks, details about some of its features such as its display, cameras, and charging technology were posted on the web. Today, more details have surfaced.
A tweet posted by Digital Chat Station today has disclosed some of the Red Magic 5G’s key specifications. Some of them we already know while others are new.
According to the leaker, the phone will have a 6.65-inch OLED display with a 2340 x 1080 resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The refresh rate was originally confirmed by Nubia’s own president back in mid-January. Most phones with a high refresh rate either have a 90Hz or 120Hz screen, so this will be a first for the mobile industry. However, there is a chance more manufacturers will jump on this train. Redmi has even released a video showing the Redmi K30 5G’s display can be tweaked to support a 144Hz refresh rate but the Red Magic 5G will likely be the first phone to launch with the feature right out of the box.

6.65"2340*1080p 144Hz OLED display，64mp triple camera（maybe imx686），s865+12GB LPDDR5，55W Super Charge…

An image shared by Ni Fei, the CEO of Nubia, revealed the upcoming Red Magic 5G has triple rear cameras. Thanks to today’s leak, we now know the primary sensor is a 64MP sensor. Although unconfirmed, the sensor may be the Sony IMX686. Sadly, there is no info with respect to the other rear cameras and the front-facing camera.
With respect to the processor, it is no news that there will be a Snapdragon 865 chipset under the hood but now we know it will be paired with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM.
The battery capacity is also still unknown but it is stated that the Red Magic 5G will have support for 55W Super Charge. That should help users recharge their device really fast irrespective of the battery capacity.
The Red Magic 5G’s release date is still unknown but we expect it to arrive this quarter.
