Xiaomi and Black Shark won’t be launching their next devices through offline launch events. Other companies are also considering canceling traditional launch events in China. Nubia President Ni Fei has released an official confirmation on Weibo that the upcoming Red Magic 5G phone will be unveiled through an online live conference.

A Nubia phone with 5G support and model number NX659J was recently approved by the 3C authority of China. It is believed to be the upcoming the Red Magic 5G phone. The smartphone was spotted with a 55W fast charger. Hence, it appears that the forthcoming Red Magic 5G phone will be equipped with a 4,500mAh battery and 55W fast charging support. Fei had recently showcased 80W charging capabilities on an unnamed device. The rumor mill speculated that it could be Red Magic 5G phone. However, it now appears to be a different device.
