The nubia Red Magic 3 has gone through the Master Lu
benchmark with its Snapdragon 855 chipset. The tested unit only had 8GB of RAM,
though we know that there will be configurations with up to 12GB RAM. This
particular unit sported 128GB of storage.
The screen will have a resolution of 1,080 x
2,340px. 1080p displays are the norm for gaming phones as they prioritize
performance. ZTE has been working on a high refresh rate screen, “higher than
most gaming PCs”, according to nubia.
The nubia Red Magic 3 is expected to have a 5,000mAh
battery and 30W fast charging. A built-in fan will provide active cooling to
the chipset, that’s a first on mobile. As the Master Lu team points out,
this was an engineering sample that was tested. The final performance numbers
may be higher as right now the Red Magic 3 doesn’t beat other Snapdragon
855-based phones with more conventional cooling.
For comparison, we’re including the benchmark scores
of the Black Shark 2 (official) and Oppo Reno (still unannounced).
