Last week, Nubia launched the Red Magic Gaming
Smartphone. The Snapdragon 835-powered device with its unique design is now
live on Indiegogo as promised for just US$ 399. Nubia is offering a variety of
deals for the Red Magic and depending on the one you choose, you can get it as
early as next month or much later in July.
The first deal lets you purchase the phone for US$ 399
including shipping. This phone comes with Red Magic OS (China-specific OS) installed but without Google Mobile Services
(GMS). However, you do get a dBrand Black Camo Skin included in the order. The
above deal expires tomorrow (April 27) but as at the time of writing, only 16
of the 1000 slots have been claimed. Those who pay for this deal will likely
get the phone in May.
The second deal also goes for US$ 399 with shipping
charges included. The Red magic Phone ships with Vanilla Android 8.1 Oreo and
not the custom OS. You also get the dBrand Black Camo Skin. However, the
estimated delivery date is put at July 2018.
Nubia has a third deal which also goes for US$ 399. You
get the Red Magic Phone early but with a test version of stock Android 8.1 Oreo
and a May 2018 expected delivery date. There is no dBrand skin included and you
are required to join the development team.
There is also a voucher on sale exclusively for
North American customers. The US$ 9 voucher can be used to get US$ 50 off when the
phone is available for North American customers.
