After a number of gaming flagships, nubia
launched the midranger nubia Play. Initially released in China, the phone is
likely to appear outside the domestic market but under a new name name. The
Nubia NX651J phone, which is the model designation of the nubia Play, was
certified at the GCF (Global Certification Forum) and EEC (Eurasian Economic
Commission) with the name Nubia Red Magic 5G Lite.
The phone brings plenty of exciting specs,
including a 144Hz refresh rate of the AMOLED screen and 240Hz touch sampling
rate. It brings a clean design on the front with no cutouts or notches - the
selfie camera is hidden in a full bezel on the top. Its gaming nature is also
evident from the two capacitive shoulder buttons.
However, this phone is aimed at mobile
gamers on a budget, so the nubia Play doesn’t have the mightiest specs on the
market like top-tier chipset or memory - there is a Snapdragon 765G SoC,
coupled with up to 8GB RAM. At least there is a massive 5,100 mAh battery that
comes with 30W fast charging.
