Red Magic

Around two months ago, ZTE’s sub-brand Nubia was rumored to be working on a gaming smartphone. Newer leaks had claimed that Nubia would be building a new brand that would be exclusively releasing gaming products including its first gaming phone. This reminds us of the Xiaomi backed Black Shark brand that will be launching its first gaming phone on April 13. Nubia has today confirmed that its gaming wing is called Red Magic. A new teaser has been released to mark its arrival. It seems that the Red Magic will be rivaling with Black Shark in China.

Talking on its first gaming phone that is expected to debut this month, Red Magic said that it has included “all possible specs under the microscope.” Through its upcoming gaming phone, the newly established firm hopes to bring casual and competitive gamers together. The image shown below that probably features the company’s logo is “a glimpse of the real thing” that will be unleashed to the world soon. The company has also said that it is prepping up to debut a new of line of products that will “provide a more complete gaming experience for the masses.”

Last year in November, Razer had launched the Razer Phone that was packed with high-end specs like 120 Hz refresh rate display, Snapdragon 835, 8 GB of RAM and 4,000mAh battery. Since many smartphone users are making use of their devices to play high-end games, smartphone OEMs are now gearing up to launch gaming focused smartphones.

As far as Red Magic’s gaming phone is concerned, it is speculated that it could be equipped with features like air cooling, near black body, carbon nano-material and a three-dimensional wind tunnel section structure. Rumors have claimed that it could be fueled by Snapdragon 845 and 8 GB of RAM. It is also expected to feature 18:9 aspect ratio display with 120 Hz refresh rate. Nubia had showcased its prototype at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 tech event in February this year.

Nubia CEO Ni Fei has already confirmed that the company’s upcoming gaming phone will be launched simultaneously in China and Europe. With the gaming phone, Nubia aims to expand its international presence. Red Magic will be also bringing its first gaming phone to India after its debut in China and Europe.
