At the heart of this innovation is the fifth-generation GaN charger technology embedded within the charger. Nubia claims that this technology reduces heat by an impressive 17%, slashes energy consumption by 20%, and enhances response speed by 19%.

Nubia’s Red Magic is expected to launch a new flagship soon as a device with model number NX679J has appeared on multiple certifications in the past. The phone is believed to be none other than the rumored Nubia Red Magic 7 and now, it has emerged on the Geekbench portal revealing its key specs.

As per the listing(via – MySmartPrice), the Nubia Red Magic 7 with model number NX679J has the ‘taro’ chipset. It is nothing but the codename of the latest flagship chipset the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. Thanks to this chipset, the phone has managed to score 1219 points in the single-core department and 3732 points in the multi-core test.

The smartphone runs on the Android 12 operating system and has 18GB of RAM. In addition to this, the previously seen 3C listing revealed its crazy fast charging capability. As per the listing, the Nubia Red Magic 7 will boast a 165W fast charging support.

Earlier, its Bluetooth SIG certification confirmed that the phone will have Bluetooth v5.2 support. Several reports have tipped that the Red Magic 7 be a gamer-centric device, similar to its predecessors. Having said that, it will feature an impressive 165Hz OLED screen.

As for the cameras, the smartphone may not have major upgrades. It could feature the same 64MP primary sensor as in its predecessor, the Red Magic 6s. In totality, it could be a three-camera setup.

Other specs of the phone are still under wraps, but the details may surface soon, given that it is appearing on certification sites more frequently. The company may as well announce it in the coming months.

Nubia has released its latest flagship gaming phone for the second half of the year—the REDMAGIC 6S Pro. And as you might have guessed from the name, it’s a minor upgrade to the REDMAGIC 6 Pro from the first half of the year. While we couldn’t test the old REDMAGIC 6 Pro, let’s take a look at how REDMAGIC’s latest flagship gaming phone performs. 

Welcome to Gizmochina’s REDMAGIC 6S Pro review.

REDMAGIC 6S Pro Design

The REDMAGIC 6S Pro looks very similar to the REDMAGIC 6 Pro, and from a distance, the difference is barely noticeable. But the back has become more minimalistic, and the lack of RGB lighting makes the 6S Pro more of a normal phone than a gaming phone. The entire back is very smooth and feels very good in the hand.

The camera also doesn’t protrude much. It features a design that is more comfortable when playing games than other angular gaming phones. Headphone jack, Shoulder Triggers and NFC are also present. 

As a gaming phone, the REDMAGIC 6S Pro is well-made, and it would have been perfect if the plastic protective layer around the screen was made smaller.

REDMAGIC 6S Pro Review: Design

Both REDMAGIC 6S Pro and REDMAGIC 6 Pro have similar screens featuring 165Hz, FHD+, OLED display. With diamond-like pixel arrangement, there is no gap between the clarity and Samsung’s screen. There is no hole-punch or notch as it is a complete screen, and the thickened upper and lower bezels make it suitable for two-handed gaming. The only drawback that can be felt more obviously is the tendency to squint at green. The front view does not have this problem, and the colors are gorgeous. There is no doubt that it is an excellent screen.

As a gaming phone, what we are concerned about is what has been done to optimize the gaming experience. Shoulder Triggers are now upgraded a bit compared to the previous generation, while the touch sampling rate is upgraded to 450Hz. And the new addition of the back touch area, plus Shoulder Triggers can quickly perform three or four operations at the same time. However, the back of the touch area does not make a distinction between different touch gestures, so you have to practice more to become proficient in operation. The game toolbar also gets a new design, both sides can be swiped to call out the toolbar. Red Magic OS also includes some redesigned widgets that allow you to visually see your heartbeat, game time, and more. A number of game-related quick switches can be easily opened when you need them.

REDMAGIC 6S Pro Review: Gaming & Performance

REDMAGIC 6S Pro upgrades the processor to Snapdragon 888+. 

LPDDR5 and UFS 3.1 are also our old friends. Although this year’s Snapdragon flagship chips are very hot, REDMAGIC’s built-in fan design is not for show.

With the fan on the strongest mode, Antutu Bench ran the highest score ever — 870,163. In 3DMark it got 5897, while in Geekbench 5 the phone got a single-core score of 1146 and a multi-core score of 3686.

The gaming performance is as good as ever, with PUBG being able to turn on 90 FPS mode in Smooth Graphics, and the frame rate curve is very smooth. But We know PUBG is not stressful to gaming phones at all. 

Genshin Impact’s frame rate curve is not as stable, but the average frame rate of 56 FPS is very impressive. The frame rate doesn’t fluctuate significantly either. Brightridge being the most processor demanding game, the average frame rate of 48FPS is also very impressive compared to other non-gaming phones.

The built-in fan can ensure your processor has a stable frame rate throughout, but it does not guarantee that the external temperature will come down. The back of the phone can reach up to 53 degrees Celsius, so if you want the external temperature to come down as well, it’s recommended to buy a cooler.

REDMAGIC 6S Pro Review: Camera

Because the REDMAGIC 6S Pro is a gaming-focused phone, we’ll only go over the camera part briefly.

Main Camera

The color of the camera is not very bright, but it’s closer to the real color. The resolution is good and the HDR strength is very strong.

The 6S Pro is not as good as it could be at night, especially with the Ultrawide Camera which does not have a night mode, but the main camera with night mode is fine for most everyday scenes.

1 of 19

Ultra-Wide Camera

The Ultra Wide Angle camera is good for most occasions but the absence of a night mode for wide shots is a drawback.

1 of 8

Macro Camera

1 of 4

As for the macro lens, it can be used occasionally when there is enough light. But don’t expect it to have great image quality.

REDMAGIC 6S Pro Review: Battery Life & Charging

The charger and charging cable are included in the box. But like the 6 Pro, although the phone supports 66W wired charging, the charger inside the box is only 30W. But because you can use the built-in fan to reduce the temperature when charging, so you can almost always charge at full power.

5 minutes tops up the battery to 11%, another half an hour to 62%, and 55 minutes to full charge. Although the 6S Pro has a large 5050mAh battery, it consumes more power in the gaming section because of its high performance. 20 minutes of Genshin Impact and Brightridge consume 18% and 16% respectively, 10% for PUBG. Daily applications do not consume a lot of power as 1080P online video only consumes 2% and while Tiktok around 5%.

REDMAGIC 6S Pro Review: Verdict

REDMAGIC 6S Pro is not a significant upgrade compared to the 6 Pro in the first half of the year. If you already have the REDMAGIC 6 Pro, there is no need to buy the 6S Pro. But If you want to buy a gaming phone now, you can definitely check out the REDMAGIC 6S Pro.

After all, REDMAGIC’s flagship phones should be one of the few devices that can leverage Snapdragon 888+’s full power output, not to mention that built-in fan works really very well.

After marking decent success in March 2021 with Red Magic 6 and 6 Pro, Nubia aims to level up the game with an all-new addition to its portfolio. The company, via its official social media handles, has been on a streak of teasing the upcoming Red Magic 6S Pro features ahead of its September 6 launch. A 120W air-cooled charging with a GaN charger is what we saw recently and now, the company goes on to confirm that the device will also feature 500Hz AirTriggers, along with a 10000mAh power bank and a Fly Wise G1 Handle.

These triggers, as can be seen from the poster, will respond to touches with a sample rate of up to 500Hz. This will come in handy while playing games. The ability to customize the controls makes it a perfect gaming companion.

Well, there’s more to it than just that. Nubia has also teased that an additional Red Magic Fly Wise G1 handle to supplement the gaming experience. The product itself has a rocker function and a side button. The product is expected to replace the rocker function of the touch screen on the left side of the game for more precise control. The weight of the product has also been kept on the lower side and weighs only 40g.

Additionally, Red Magic 6S Pro will be accompanied by the Red Magic 10000mAh power bank. The overall aesthetics gets more appealing with an armor-shaped structure with a Red Magic logo on the front and is expected to support luminescence. The official teaser also confirms that the product has a digital display that shows real-time power. As mentioned in the description, the mobile power supply will have a dual interface and support a 20W plus 22.5W output capability, which clearly is significantly slower for a device that packs a 120W fast charger.

All these add-ons will be launching alongside the smartphone on September 6. Major highlights of the device have already been released and can be found here.

Ni Fei, the President of Nubia, went on Weibo to share his thoughts on the upcoming Red Magic 5G smartphone. The senior executive took to the popular Chinese microblogging website to comment on the smartphone’s capabilities.

Currently, there are plenty of smartphones that are slated to receive the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 5G SoC. However, many are skeptical about the battery life of a 5G smartphone which also features a display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Thus, Ni Fei took to the social media platform to put such worries to rest by stating that the upcoming Red Magic 5G smartphone will have an excellent battery performance.

From what we know so far, the Nubia Red Magic 5G smartphone will feature a 144Hz display and will arrive with the Snapdragon 865 SoC. Unfortunately, other finer details of the device are yet to be revealed, but previously the President had also suggested that the smartphone could possibly feature 80W fast charging capabilities. Although, further down the Weibo post, Ni Fei shared three different battery and charging rates configurations: 100W + 4000mAh, 55W + 4500mAh, 30W + 5000mAh.

The 55W + 4500mAh configuration seems the most likely, as it one is within the range of the previous reveal from the President and a recent leak which also stated that a 55W fast charging can be expected. Unfortunately, we can not offer any concrete statements and these are just educated guesses for now. So stay tuned for more updates regarding the upcoming Red Magic 5G smartphone.

Earlier today (31st January 2020), Ni Fei, the CEO and Co-Founder of Nubia, shared a post on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, to tease an upcoming 5G smartphone with an impressive 80W fast charging capabilities.

In the Weibo post, Ni Fei shared an image as well which contained certain details and statistics regarding a smartphone being charged. Looking at the details, Voltage can be observed at 8.4 Volts while the current is at 9.6 Ampere. In simpler terms, this translates to a fast charging rate upwards of 80W that is higher than 65W but a bit lower than true 100W charging rates.

Previously, Xiaomi, a Chinese smartphone giant, had revealed a 100W fast charging technology. It was called Super Charge Turbo and utilized a special dual cell series design which adds two strings of battery technology. Through this and other expensive materials, the company managed to charge a 4,000mAh battery in only 17 minutes. So, we can expect the upcoming Nubia 5G smartphone to arrive with capabilities close to this benchmark.

Editor’s Pick: Samsung Galaxy S20 series accessories supply is delayed by the Coronavirus outbreak in China

So far, no company has commercially launched a fast charger of 100W but Nubia arrives the closest if the device in question launches soon. It is still an expensive technology to include in a device so it is unlikely that a smartphone will debut with the technology any time soon.

However, Nubia’s executive teasing the charging capabilities just before the launch of its latest Red Magic gaming smartphone with 144Hz display, implies that the company might include an 80W fast charger in the upcoming device. Unfortunately, this is still speculation and Nubia has yet to officially confirm this. So we cannot provide any concrete statements at the moment.

Its been just a few days since the new year 2020 has started and details about the flagship smartphones getting launched this year have started to surface online. In such as development, Nubia CEO Ni Fei seems to have revealed information about the company’s upcoming gaming smartphone.

The Nubia Red Magic 5G smartphone getting launched this year is shown to be powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC which was revealed last month. The leak also reveals that the smartphone will feature a triple-camera setup on the back.

Ni Fei posted something on Weibo and it reveals that the post on the Chinese microblogging platform was made from “Red Magic 5G Gaming Smartphone” and the sample watermark at the bottom reads “SHOT ON NUBIA TRIPLE CAMERA”.

The smartphone, being powered by SD865 SoC, is expected to come with support for both SA and NSA dual-mode 5G. It could make Nubia Red Magic 5G the first gaming smartphone to have 5G dual-mode support.

The 7mm Snapdragon 865 octa-core chipset includes four ARM Cortex-A77 performance cores out of which three Kryo 585 cores clock at up to 2.4GHz and the other Kryo 585 core works at up to 2.84GHz.

The Kryo 585 ARM Cortex-A55 efficiency cores deliver a maximum clock speed of 1.8Hz. The chipset includes Adreno 650 graphics. The CPU and GPU both offer 25 percent better performance than their predecessors.

The SoC supports up to 16GB of LPDDR4X RAM at 2133MHz and LPDDR5 RAM at 2750MHz. The chipset requires the external Snapdragon X55 5G modem for mmWave and sub-6GHz 5G networks. The X55 modem promises download speeds of up to 7.5Gbps and upload speeds of 3Gbps on 5G.

The Snapdragon 865 also comes with company’s fifth-generation AI engine which is coupled with Hexagon Tensor Accelerator to deliver 15TOPs computing power. The Sensing Hub AI engine ensures highly accurate voice recognition and always-on contextual awareness for smarter virtual assistants.

The SD865-powered phone with the all new Snapdragon Elite Gaming features will offer desktop grade gaming experience. The chipset also comes with support for Quick Charge 4+ and Quick Charge AI charging capabilities.

Nubia just announced its new gaming flagship in China called as the Nubia Red Magic 3S. As the name suggests, the phone is very similar to the Red Magic 3 that was announced back in April in China but comes with a few upgrades in the processor and cooling department. What’s interesting is that the Red Magic 3S starts at a cheaper price tag than its predecessor, offering tremendous value for money.

Nubia Red Magic 3S Pricing & Variants

• 8GB RAM + 128GB ROM (Silver Storm color) – 2999 yuan ($420)
• 12GB RAM + 256GB ROM (Red & Blue color) – 3799 yuan ($531)

Nubia Red Magic 3S China & Global Availability

Nubia Red Magic 3S will go on sale on September 9 at 10 AM in China via the company’s official store. It looks like the Black color version of the phone should go on sale sometime later in September.

Nubia has also confirmed that the Nubia Red Magic 3S will be released globally in October 2019. Even India should get the new model sometime after October as the old Red Magic 3 was released in India this June.

Since the Nubia Red Magic 3S and Black Shark 2 Pro both feature Snapdragon 855+ and start exactly at the same price tag of 2999 yuan ($420), it’s worth taking a look at the variants and pricing of the BS2Pro for reference. We’ll compare the specs of the two gaming flagships later in another article.

The Black Shark 2 Pro Pricing is as follows: 

• 12GB RAM + 128GB ROM – 2999 Yuan ($420)
• 12GB RAM + 256GB ROM – 3499 Yuan ($490)

So in terms of RAM and storage, the Black Shark 2 Pro definitely has an advantage. A detailed comparison is on its way later today.

Meanwhile, which design do you prefer between the Nubia Red Magic 3S and the Black Shark 2 Pro?

After the announcement of the Snapdragon 855 plus yesterday, a bunch of Chinese manufacturers hinted at the launch of new phones that will be powered by the new SoC. One of such manufacturers is Nubia‘s Red Magic, and today it confirmed there will be a special edition Red Magic 3 powered by the new chipset.

The Weibo post says the phone is “coming soon” and includes a poster that shows the Snapdragon 855+ processor. It also has a bunch of text in different fonts including the name of its latest device, the Red Magic 3.

We can’t say if this new version will replace the still new Snapdragon 855 version or if both will exist side-by-side. If it will be the latter, expect to shell out more cash to get that CPU and GPU performance boosts which the Snapdragon 855+ brings.

If you already bought the Red Magic 3, you won’t be missing much. However, if you are yet to, you may want to wait until this new version is released before you order a unit.

The Red Magic 3 is the first smartphone in the world to have a built-in cooling fan. It has a 6.65-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. There is a 16MP selfie camera and a single 48MP rear camera. The phone also has touch-sensitive buttons on the side, DTS X Ultra audio, a 3.5mm jack, and packs a massive 5000mAh battery with support for 27W fast charging and USB PD.

The Red Magic 3 comes in several configurations with the base model having 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage while the highest configuration doubles the RAM to 12GB and has 256GB os storage.

Other brands that have hinted at launching Snapdragon 855+ phones include iQOO, Lenovo, Xiaomi, and Redmi.

Nubia’s Red Magic gaming phone lineup has been in the market for around a year and a new update is in the works. These phones are quite hot right now and have carved out a good fan following. Recently we saw even Vivo get into this niche segment with its iQOO model.

The company’s GM, Ni Fei, was kind enough to let us know the key features of the phone before launch, but there was one feature we weren’t clear about: battery.

In the earlier post, Ni Fei had revealed that the new Red Magic 3 will upgrade its battery capacity. While this confirmed that the battery capacity will exceed 3800mAh, we wouldn’t have imagined it to be significantly big. But that’s the case here. Ni Fei confirmed earlier today that the Nubia Red Magic 3 will come with a 5000mAh+ battery. This would make it one of the largest battery gaming phones in the market today.

We know that the new phone will come with Snapdragon 855 with 12GB RAM on board. There will be liquid + air cooling to ensure that the phone doesn’t overheat even under extreme stress. What’s even more exciting is that the Nubia Magic 3 is said to be equipped with a screen that boasts of a better refresh rate than ‘most gaming screens’ out there. While we don’t have the specifics, it’s worth noting that the premium Razer Phone came with an astonishing 120Hz screen refresh rate. Anything close to this figure will be amazing. Other expected features include shoulder buttons and 4D vibration motors.

We won’t have to wait too long to meet the Red Magic 3. The phone is said to launch sometime in April.

Last year, gaming was one of the main focal points of a lot of mobile phones. There were even phones made specifically for gamers such as the Nubia Red Magic, ASUS ROG Gaming phone, and the Black Shark Gaming Phone. This year, we expect the aforementioned phones to get successors starting with the  Black Shark whose successor comes out this month. However, the successor to Nubia’s Red Magic might be one of the more interesting ones.

Virtually all of the gaming phones and flagships released last year have one form of cooling technology or the other to keep the temperature low when playing CPU-demanding games. The common cooling method is the use of cooling pipes but a patent shows Nubia’s next gaming phone might come with something different – a cooling fan!

Images from a patent filed by Nubia at the Chinese Patent Office shows a phone with a small cooling fan built-in. The patent was filed in October 2018 and was granted last month.

The patent description says the CPU is covered by a copper heatpipe that is then connected to the opening of the air duct. There will be an outlet on the side of the phone. The fan itself might make the phone a bit thick but that should mean they should also be able to fit in a larger battery.

Nubia recently announced its second gaming smartphone — Nubia Red Magic Mars, the successor to the Nubia Red Magic that was launched last year.

After months of rumors regarding the phone’s launch in India market, we now finally have a date for the gaming smartphone’s debut in India. The company is all set to launch the Nubia Red Magic in India on 20th December.

An earlier report had revealed that the smartphone will be priced under Rs. 30,000 (approximately $409). With such pricing, it’ll compete against the flagship phones from the likes of OnePlus and Honor which are in the same price segment.

The Nubia Red Magic is made out of aluminum and is ergonomically designed for extended gameplay. It uses advanced thermal modeling techniques and is claimed to be the first smartphone to use an all-new air convection cooling system which is designed to dissipate heat effectively across its diamond-cut design without compromising on performance.

To make it stand out from the competition, the phone is branded with a distinctive RGB LED strip. It features a 5.99-inch Full HD+ display with an edge-to-edge 2.5D NEG T2X-1 screen, 18:9 aspect ratio and 1500:1 contrast ratio. Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 835 processor, coupled with Adreno 540 GPU.

Today, Nubia has confirmed that it will be debuting the Nubia Red Magic Mars gaming smartphone on Nov. 28. The handset will be unveiled at the Shanghai VSPN E-Sports Center. Like the Xiaomi Black Shark Helo, Nubia Red Magic Mars will be arriving with Snapdragon 845 and 10 GB of RAM. Also, it will be some exciting features that are not available on Xiaomi’s gaming phone.

The AnTuTu and Master Lu benchmark scores of the Nubia Red Magic Mars were revealed in the previous week. The AnTuTu listing of the phone had revealed that the Red Magic Mars gaming phone had scored a very impressive score of 319,781 on AnTuTu. Key details such as display resolution, processor and RAM variants of the smartphone have been already revealed. However, the entire specs of the phone are still under the wraps.

Nubia has already made the smartphone available through its crowdfunding campaign. The crowdfunding price of the phone is 3,888 Yuan (~$560). Like the original Red Magic gaming phone, the upcoming Mars model will be featuring a display that supports 18:9 aspect ratio and Full HD+ resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels.

The Snapdragon 845 chipset is present under the hood of the device. For heat dissipating and smoother gaming performance, it is equipped with dual air and liquid cooling technologies. Nubia has revealed that the heat dissipation system of the smartphone can reduce the temperature of the phone by 13.2 degrees. The handset is equipped with a dedicated button for GameBoost mode.

It is expected to arrive with 8 GB of RAM. The highest configuration variant of the smartphone will be featuring 10 GB of RAM and an inbuilt storage of 256 GB. The smartphone is preinstalled with the latest Android 9 Pie OS. Other details such as battery size and camera configurations of the smartphone are yet to be confirmed.

Shown above is a leaked photo that was reportedly snapped during a Nubia’s internal presentation. It shows that the Red Magic Mars phone includes some features that are not available on the Black Shark Helo gaming phone. These frame buttons for 4 finger operation for gaming, 4D smart shock, real-time ear feedback, dual cooling system, DTS 7.1 channel with 3D surround sound support and Smart PA amplifier.

ZTE’s sub-brand Nubia, which launched its first gaming smartphone named Nubia Red Magic earlier this year, is now reportedly all set to launch the gaming phone in the Indian market. According to a report, which cites sources close to the development, Nubia will launch the phone in India in the third week of October.

The report further claims that the phone will be priced under Rs. 30,000 (approximately $417). With the Nubia Red Magic gaming phone, the company is competing against the likes of Xiaomi, Razer, and Asus which have already launched a dedicated gaming smartphone.

However, none of the gaming smartphones have been officially launched in India yet. So, the Nubia Red Magic could be the first high-end gaming smartphone to make its way to India. Recently, Huawei’s sub-brand Honor had launched its Honor Play affordable gaming smartphone in India, which starts at Rs. 19,999, roughly $278.

The Nubia Red Magic is made out of aluminum and is ergonomically designed for extended gameplay. It uses advanced thermal modeling techniques and is claimed to be the first smartphone to use an all-new air convection cooling system which is designed to dissipate heat effectively across its diamond-cut design without compromising on performance.

Apart from notches being the trend this year, some manufacturers also jumped on the gaming smartphone train. One of them is Nubia with its Red Magic gaming smartphone.

The Nubia Red Magic has a nice design and packs impressive specs save for having last year’s Snapdragon 835 processor instead of the new Snapdragon 845. The older processor means it can’t match the performance of other gaming smartphones such as Xiaomi‘s Black Shark and ASUS‘ ROG gaming phone.

If the older processor is what’s putting you off from buying it, then you may be pleased to learn that Nubia is working on a successor which we will refer to as the Red Magic 2. The info comes from Roland Quandt.

In a tweet earlier today, he revealed that a new Red Magic device with a Snapdragon 845 is in the works. However, a new processor isn’t the only new thing. It will also have shoulder buttons.

There is no info on when the new phone will launch but Nubia will do well to launch it this year because doing so next year will just mean repeating the same pattern as this year’s model.

There is a 3,800mAh battery under the hood with support for fast charge. It also has a new air convection cooling system to keep the device cool.

The phone will sell for €449 (~$522) when it goes on sale later this month in Europe.

After the success of Razer Phone, even the former ZTE’s subsidiary Nubia has decided to launch its first and powerful gaming phone: Nubia Red Magic. According to new info coming from the company itself, the flagship will be launched tomorrow in a new color variant: Flame Red. The new version was already been made available for pre-orders on the official website of the company: it sells with a price tag of 2999 Yuan, which roughly translates to about $439 or €377. Not bad if we consider that it features an efficient air cooling system as well as a flagship-level hardware side.

The design of Nubia Red Magic is not for everyone as it is gaming-centric (it has even an RGB light strip on the rear side), and with the new Flame Red color variant, it is even less sober. Under the hood, the handset features an octa-core Snapdragon 835 chipset by Qualcomm, the best flagship SoC of 2017 running at a max frequency of 2.35 GHz. Unfortunately, the company has not decided to equip its flagship with a Snapdragon 845, even though the device has been unveiled in 2018. But together with the Snapdragon 835, we get up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage which is excellent for video games (there is also a configuration with 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage).

On the front side, there is a display with a size of 6 inches, an 18:9 aspect ratio and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels, which is scratch and shock resistant. There is also an 8 MP front camera with a f/2.0 aperture. The back cover houses a single 24 MP camera with a bright f/1.7 aperture, an oval fingerprint reader, and the above-mentioned LED strip. At last, there is a 3800 mAh battery and Android 8.1 Oreo is installed out of the box, customized with the Nubia Red Magic OS.

The Nubia Red Magic is one of the few gaming smartphones released this year. It is also the least powerful as it comes with a Snapdragon 835 processor, unlike the others which have a Snapdragon 845 processor.

When it was launched in April, it was unveiled in two colors – red with black accents and black with red accents. Now, Nubia has announced a third color variant.

The new color variant is actually Urban Camouflage which has a mix of light gray, medium gray, and black colors. It also has red accents like the black variant.

Nubia says it is a limited edition and it is only available in the 8GB RAM + 128GB ROM configuration. The price is ¥2999 (~$438) and it is already available on JD.com and the official Nubia site for pre-order ahead of first sales on August 9.

The phone will also be on display at ChinaJoy tomorrow. So if you will be attending, you may want to visit Nubia’s booth to have a look at the device.

The Nubia Red Magic has a 5.99-inch screen with an 18:9 aspect ratio, an FHD+ resolution, and shock resistant glass. It is powered by a Snapdragon 835 SoC with a specially designed cooling system.

The gaming phones market is growing pretty quickly. After Razer Phone, the new Nubia Red Magic and the Xiaomi Black Shark are the two new gaming smartphones to hit the shelves, and they will probably be followed by more handsets focused on this niche market. But in the meantime, let’s discover the main differences among the two. If you are a gamer and you like to play on your mobile phone, this Nubia Red Magic vs Xiaomi Black Shark specs comparison will tell you which phone is most suitable for you.

ZTE Nubia Red Magic vs Xiaomi Black Shark

With its elaborate metal backplate, we believe the Nubia Red Devil has a more ergonomic design, providing a comfortable grip even after long sessions of gaming. But the Xiaomi Black Shark should be a better phone in terms of performance, as it features the most recent Qualcomm’s processor: the powerful octa-core Snapdragon 845 running at a max frequency of 2.8 GHz. Nubia Red Magic left many disappointed when it was revealed that it is powered by the older Snapdragon 835 which is Qualcomm’s flagship SoC for 2017. Still, there shouldn’t be a huge difference in term of performance.

Both the devices boast a cooling system, but they are different. According to Xiaomi, the air cooling system of Black Shark is able to reduce the temperature by 8° C, while Nubia Red Magic features a different type of air cooling system. Xiaomi Black Shark seems to have a slightly better camera department with a 12 + 20 MP dual camera on its back and a 20 MP selfie camera. The battery is slightly bigger on Xiaomi Black Shark and it features Quick Charge 3.0 as fast charging technology.

Keeping the specs on paper in mind, the Xiaomi Black Shark looks like a slightly better handset, but Nubia Red Magic will probably have a more affordable price if we refer to the global market. Black Shark has a launch price of about $477/€385 in China, while Nubia Red Magic will initially cost $399/€324 worldwide (it will be launched on April 26 through the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo).
