The China Joy tech exhibition
kicks off in a few hours and ZTE is bringing a treat – a new limited edition
color option for the nubia Red Magic. The gaming phone initially launched in
Red and Black, the new option is a Camouflage paint job.
An ultraviolet laser was used to etch the markings
on the back and there’s a special fingerprint-resistant coating to keep the
phone looking pristine. There’s a rumor going around that the cooling system has been
upgraded for this model, though it seems that this isn’t the case. As a
reminder, the nubia Red Magic has three layers of graphite to pull the heat
from the Snapdragon 835 chipset, transfer it to a heat pipe and to the four
vents for convection cooling.
The limited edition will cost the same as the
regular paint jobs – that’s CNY 2,500 for the 6GB / 64GB model and CNY 3,000
for the 8GB / 128GB version (US$ 365/€ 315 and US$ 440/€ 380 respectively). It’s not
available yet, but you can reserve one on JD.com – this is a limited edition
sale that will start on August 9, so if you want one, you may want to get in
line.
