Last week, Chinese manufacturer, Nubia, announced the RedMagic 6R gaming smartphone. The phone arrives as the third model in this year’s RedMagic 6 series. If you have been wondering if it will get a global release, then there is good news for you.
The official RedMagic Twitter account has announced today that the RedMagic 6R will get a global release soon. Thankfully, we don’t have to wait for the launch date as the official website has revealed that the phone will be unveiled on June 19.

The promo page also shows that the device will be available in two color variants – Blue and White.
The RedMagic 6R is a Snapdragon 888 powered gaming smartphone with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display that has a centered punch hole and a 144Hz refresh rate. The phone comes in multiple configurations, packing up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
For cameras, there is a 16MP in front for selfies and video calls while the rear packs a 64MP quad-camera setup that also includes an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor.
This is a gaming phone, so it is no surprise that it has shoulder buttons on the right side of the frame. Other features are stereo speakers, DTS:X Ultra, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, and a 4200mAh battery with support for 55W fast wired charging. The device runs RedMagic OS 4.0 based on Android 11.
The RedMagic 6 and RedMagic 6 Pro are priced at $599 and $699 respectively, so our guess is that the RedMagic 6R will have a launch price of $499, and that may be for the 8GB RAM + 128GB version which sells for about $470 in China.
