Generally, during a smartphone launch conference, especially the premium flagships, the OEM will try and boast of the smartphone’s capabilities. This works especially well with mobile benchmarking platforms. Now, the Nubia Red Magic 5G has just been announced and score over 640,000 points in AnTuTu testing.
According to Nubia, the Red Magic 5G scored within the brackets of 620,000 to 640,000 in the tests in AnTuTu benchmarking software. It achieved such a high score through the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC that powers the device. The chipset is the latest in line from the chipmaking giant’s flagship entries and offers top notch performance.
As of right now, the smartphone’s featuring the Snapdragon 865 SoC have generally scored around or a bit higher than the 600,000 mark. So, Nubia Red Magic 5G holds the bragging rights in regards to being one of the highest scoring device ever on AnTuTu. Nubia stated that the high score is in part due to powerful hardware but mostly thanks to its software optimizations and fine tuning.

Notably, the company stated that its exclusive technology Magic Write, which allows for faster read and write speeds, is also transparent to developers. In other words, software developers and other third party developers do not need to modify their applications. Thus, providing the Nubia Red Magic 5G with such an impressive score.
Another positive aspect that goes along with the performance of the smartphone is the new heat dissipation system in place. Nubia claims this technology is the industry’s best with ICE 3.0 three dimensional heat dissipation system. In simpler terms, the technology utilizes air cooling, liquid cooling and thermally conductive materials like gels, graphite, copper foil, and other materials as well.
In the launch event, Nubia even called out the industry practice of portraying synthetic benchmark tests using refrigerators. For those unaware, testing platforms like AnTuTu draw a lot of power from the processor leading to an increase in temperatures within the device. In longer tests, this leads to thermal throttling that reduces performance and scores. Thus, various OEMs put their smartphones in fridges to demonstrate the full potential. However, Nubia Red Magic 5G didn’t require any such external cooling method and calls the industry’s practice as cheating or unfair.
