Transparent gadgets are really cool and have existed for decades. For example, different iterations of the Nintendo GameBoy have transparent editions. Microsoft and Sony also have transparent versions of their controllers. The mobile industry has also jumped on the train and you can find phones from HTC and Xiaomi with a see-through body. Nubia’s CEO has announced today that the Red Magic 5G will have a transparent edition and from the promotional video shared, we love it already.

Nubia is toeing the same line as Xiaomi with its Red Magic 5G Transparent Edition. What I mean is that what you actually see are not the device’s internals (save for the built-in fan) but a 3D printed one which of course looks much better than the real deal.

However, what makes it awesome is that you get to see the built-in cooling fan in action. That definitely makes for a cool party trick, right?

The printed board does list some of the device’s specs such as the Snapdragon 865 processor, LPDDR5 RAM, Wi-Fi 6, 144Hz refresh rate, and support for SA and NSA networks/Dual Mode 5G.

The Nubia Red Magic 5G Transparent Edition will definitely cost more than the other color variants. We also won’t be surprised if it is available at a much later date and not at the same time as the standard version.

So far we already know the phone will be available in at least three colorways. TENAA already revealed there will be a version with a mix of blue and red and we have also seen a real-life photo of this version. We also know there will be a bright red version thanks to the camera teaser poster.

The Red Magic 5G is shaping up to be a pretty interesting gaming smartphone. Nubia already confirmed it will have a 16GB RAM version, support for 55W fast charging, and a 64MP Sony camera. It will also run Android 10 out of the box.
