The name of the device is also currently under the wraps. Could be called Red Magic 4? Well, Chinese manufacturers are known for skipping number 4 on the names of their products as it is looked upon as a bad omen.

After its announcement, some smartphone manufacturers including Nubia confirmed to launch SD865 fueled flagship phones in 2020.
