All about the new Nubia Red Magic 5G: features and technical specifications
Nubia Red Magic 5G
To begin with, the design of this high-end gamer device is one of its most attractive points. The Red Magic 5G has a rear panel that has an "X" shaped pattern that is divided by a line that almost divides the phone in half completely; This contains the name of the series and the triple rear camera on the top. The 5G logo is located on the right side of the panel, implying that there is support for said connectivity network.
The phone's screen is AMOLED technology and measures 6.65 inches. The resolution that this generates is the typical one: 2,340 x 1,080 pixels, thus giving a 19.5: 9 format. What is really interesting about this panel is the refresh rate that it boasts, which is 144 Hz. Without a doubt, gamers will enjoy an unparalleled gaming experience with this device, as it has smooth, fluid graphics and, therefore, hence, superior to those found in almost all smartphones today. Things get better since the company says that the sampling rate is 240 Hz ... As a data to take into account, the standard configuration of the refresh rate of common and current mobiles - regardless of the range of which they are - is 60 Hz.
On the other hand, without leaving the subject of the screen, it is worth mentioning that it is certified by TÜV Rheinland, so it is safe for the eyes since it minimizes the harmful blue rays that damage it. In addition, when viewing the images, to say that it does not have a notch, much less is there a perforation in the perforation on the screen or retractable camera system that protrudes from the upper edge; there is also an in-screen fingerprint reader. The 8 MP selfie camera is housed in the lightweight top frame that functions as a frame for the panel.
The Snapdragon 865 is the high-end chipset that powers the Nubia Red Magic 5G along with the Adreno 650 GPU. It is also paired with a 5/8 GB LPDDR12 RAM and 3.0/128 GB UFS 256 internal storage space. In addition to this, the battery that the mobile has is 4,500 mAh capacity and comes with support for 55 watt fast charging technology.
To avoid overheating after long hours of gaming, the Nubia Red Magic 5G comes with a liquid cooling system that is also coupled with a ventilation cooling system that is driven by a fan running at about 15,000 RPM (revolutions per minute), which helps to reduce the internal temperature to about 18 ° C and has a useful life of 30,000 hours, which would be 3.4 years or just over 27 years playing about 3 hours a day.
The rear triple camera is led by a 686 MP Sony IMX64 main sensor, which is accompanied by an 8 MP wide angle and a 2 MP macro lens. The Red Magic 5G also comes with Android 10 under the Nubia customization layer and support for 5G, 4G, WiFi 6, dual GPS and dual SIM. In addition, apart from coming with various game functions and weighing about 218 grams, the mobile has two triggers on its sides that can be used to activate functions in games; this is something we already saw in the BlackShark 3 Pro.
