The images of the smartphone have revealed that it will be sporting red and blue dual colored metallic rear. The vertical camera setup on the backside of the device has three lenses. The same strip seems to house an RBG LED lit Red Magic branding.
The Snapdragon 865 mobile platform will be present under the hood of the Red Magic 5G smartphone. The phone will arrive with support for NSA and SA dual-mode 5G networks. The SoC of the phone could be coupled with up to 16 GB of RAM. The custom Red Magic OS based Android 10 OS will come preloaded on the device. Nubia CEO Ni Fei has revealed that the phone has scored 633K+ score on AnTuTu benchmarks.
The triple camera of the Red Magic 5G phone is expected to house the 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 as the primary shooter.
