Unfortunately, the company has yet to officially reveal the pricing of both smartphones as of right now. Although, it has been revealed both devices will arrive in a single configuration, namely 12GB of RAM paired with 128GB of storage for the base variant and 16GB of RAM + 256GB storage variant for the Pro version.

Benchmarking outfit AnTuTu has released the ranking of the top 10 smartphones in the month of April 2021. Just as was announced earlier, the models on the list were benchmark using the new AnTuTu V9 for the first time.  

The list is entirely dominated by Snapdragon 888 flagship models which are pretty interesting. The ranking saw the Black Shark 4 Pro retain its number position on top of the chart with an average score of 860467, continuing its strong run-in from last month. However, six of the models that were on the list in March were edged out of the April rankings. The models include the ASUS ROG Phone 5, Vivo X60 Pro+, iQOO 7, Redmi K40 Pro, Meizu 18, and Meizu 18 Pro.

The second spot is occupied by the OPPO Find X3 Pro with an average score of 831801. On the top position is the Nubia Red Magic 6 Pro which averages 828649. Other models on the list include the OnePlus 9 Pro, Lenovo Legion Gaming Phone 2 Pro, Vivo X60 Pro+, iQOO 7, OnePlus 9, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, and the vanilla Mi 11.

AnTuTu also released a ranking of the top 10 best-performing mid-range smartphones. Just like in March, the Redmi 10X with a MediaTek Dimensity 820 chip leads the pack with an average score of 455,838.

The top 10 mid-range models also include the iQOO 3, Huawei Nova 8 Pro, Honor 30, Huawei Nova 8, Huawei Nova 7, Honor X10, Huawei Nova 7 SE, Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G, and OPPO Reno 5 5G. It is instructive to note that there are six Huawei models on the list of top-performing mid-range models. We expect the ranking to change when that of May is listed, considering the emergence of more premium mid-range models.

Earlier this week, Ni Fei, President of Nubia, shared a new post on his official Weibo account, a Chinese microblogging website, where it showcased its upcoming Red Magic 6 gaming smartphone’s RAM boost technology support.

According to the senior official of the Chinese smartphone maker, the Red Magic 6 will arrive with Magic Write 2.0. This is the company’s fast storage read and write technology and is a part of the Red Magic Arc Reactor performance engine. It combines the Tencent Solar Core game engine along with intelligent scheduling of CPU, GPU, and memory. In simpler terms, the smart optimization of the device’s hardware enables shorted cold starts of mobile games, slashed load times in game, and faster in game click response.

Furthermore, the President of Nubia also added that the RAM boost technology allows the Red Magic 6’s 12GB of RAM to be used “just like 18GB of memory.” In other words, it supports rapid virtual expansion technology that enables the software memory boost. This would further boost the device’s gaming capabilities to offer smoother gameplay experience, faster response time and more. Unfortunately, we are not exactly sure how the company achieves this, but it is likely that it boosting the RAM’s speed to offer higher performance or using its boost engine to perform processes equivalent to a 18GB RAM module.

Talking about the specs of the device, the Red Magic 6 may launch in two versions, Red Magic 6, Red Magic 6 Pro. The devices are expected to arrive with an OLED display with a refresh rate up to 165Hz and a touch sampling rate up to 480MHz. The company is already teasing shoulder touch buttons for gaming. Additionally, it will also sport a Snapdragon 888 chipset with a battery capacity of 4,500mAh and a 120W fast charging under the hood.

The post Nubia Red Magic 6 will feature RAM boost tech, virtually raising its 12GB RAM to function as 18GB appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Red Magic 6 will be announced in the first week of March. The gaming smartphone from ZTE will pack new features including an improved cooling fan. However, unlike its predecessors, it won’t be coming alone as a new leak says we will be getting a pro model. The leak has revealed the battery capacity and fast charging technology of this second model which will launch as the Red Magic 6 Pro.

According to Digital Chat Station, the China-based leaker, the Red Magic 6 Pro will support 120W fast charging. While that is exciting news, what is more interesting is that its own fast charging technology is said to be faster than that of competitors, as it takes it 5 minutes to charge its 4500mAh battery to 50%.

For comparison, the Mi 10 Ultra which also supports 120W fast charging charges the 4500mAh battery capacity to 41% in 5 minutes. The iQOO 5 Pro, another phone with support for 120W fast charging takes 5 minutes to charge its battery to 50% but its capacity is smaller at 4000mAh.

While ZTE’s claims are impressive, it is better to wait for real world reviews as there is a chance that it might not be as fast. For example, a review of the Mi 10 Ultra revealed the phone charges at 80W and not 120W.

Thankfully, you should be able to try out the Red Magic 6 Pro’s fast charging technology once you get your hands on it as the leaker says that ZTE will include a 120W GaN fast charger in the box.

The Red Magic 6 and Red Magic 6 Pro will be announced on the 4th of March. The phones will have a display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 480Hz touch sampling rate. They will also come with the Snapdragon 888 processor. The standard model is expected to come with 66W fast charging which is not as fast as that of the pro version but incredibly faster than most phones can boast.
