Reviews for the ZTE Nubia Red Magic 5G

Red Magic 5G review: A beautifully flawed beast of a gaming phone
Source: Talk Android English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
If you don’t mind the software ‘quirks’ and are fine with ‘okay’ images and want something flashy and sexy and outrageously beautiful to look at with more performance than you can shake a stick at, then the Red Magic 5G is going to light up your life.

The RedMagic 5G Is A Transparent Phone For The "Fans"
Source: MrMobile English Archive.org version
But in the otherwise relentless dumpster fire that is 2020, there is one bright point: some manufacturers are actually having fun with their hardware again. Earlier in the year Nubia unveiled its RedMagic 5G gaming phone, a device I photographed for the Instagram channel because it sported the most striking paint job I’ve seen in a very long time. And today, that same phone is back in the studio with a new transparent backplate that showcases its halo feature: a 15,000 rpm cooling fan. It's not destined for US shores and doesn't have software complete enough for this market to make a full review possible – but that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun. Join me for an up-close look at my first clear phone in years: the RedMagic 5G Transparent Edition.

Nubia RedMagic 5G Review: An Unruly Android Gaming Beast
Source: Hot Hardware English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Those of you considering the RedMagic 5G as a cheaper alternative to the current crop of Snapdragon 865-equipped 5G flagships might want to think twice. Besides the disappointing camera, questionable software, and uncertain updates, this handset is bulky and definitely not water or dust resistant -- fan grilles and all. Plus, if you’re abroad, you already have a roster of affordable 5G flagships to choose from. Yes, the RedMagic 5G is a speed demon, but are you willing to sacrifice usability for specs and performance? That's the all-important question only you can answer.

80% Red Magic 5G review: an untamed beast
Source: Phandroid English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Nubia Red Magic 5G is far from being the perfect everyday smartphone. There are devices with much better cameras, software, and battery life, but there are few smartphones out there that live up to their promises. The Red Magic 5G is a gaming-first smartphone that promises best-in-class performance and that’s exactly what it delivers. If all you want is a powerful smartphone that can deliver an impeccable gaming experience, this is the phone you’ve been waiting for.

The Red Magic 5G is a top-tier gaming phone with the world’s first 144Hz refresh rate display. Only a handful of games can make the most of that tech, but the list will expand over the next year, making this phone fully future-proof. You’re also getting top-end specs at a mid-range price, but the software lets it down.

80% RedMagic 5G Review : More gamer now than phone
Source: Slashgear English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Is the RedMagic 5G smartphone worth the amount of cash you’ll pay for it here in the summer of 2020? It really depends on what your values are. If you absolutely, positively MUST have a smartphone with a 144Hz image refresh rate, this is currently your best bet. You could also look into the iQoo Z1 5G, but we’ve got no hand-on experience with that brand whatsoever, so cannot attest to quality.

85% RedMagic 5G review: hardware this good deserves better software
Source: Neowin English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
nubia's RedMagic phones have always left a great impression on me due to their hardware, and this one is no different. It retains most of what made the previous phones unique, with the active cooling system, the RGB light strip, high refresh rate, and stereo speakers. I would also say the transition to a glass and metal sandwich ends up being good for the phone, as it feels more sturdy than the previous models, and I actually prefer the new implementation of the RGB lighting. The camera is also good enough for me, and the new sensors do add some versatility.

Put simply, the Red Magic 5G is one of the very best gaming phones you can buy. The headlining 144Hz display offers a buttery smooth experience like never before, while the speaker system is a contender for best-in-class. Even the cameras have seen a nice upgrade over last year’s 3S. The design and software might prevent it from having mainstream appeal, but for mobile gamers there are few better options.

Nubia RedMagic 5G review: Great for gaming, with some compromises
Source: New Atlas English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
All that considered, we'd say the Nubia RedMagic 5G ends up with more in the positives column than the negatives column. It definitely has its problems – which you should be aware of before you buy it – but it brings with it a whole load of mobile power and gaming goodness for an eye-catching price.

RedMagic 5G Teardown! - How does the Cooling Fan work?
Source: JerryRigEverything English Archive.org version
Not all gaming phones are created equal... especially on the inside. This Brand new RedMagic 5G gaming phone has a FAN inside. Making it one of the coolest looking phones weve taken apart in awhile. This little motorized hurricane sucks in air from one side to cool the processor (And other random mother board chips) And spits the hot air out the other side of the phone. Today we are going to take apart the Red Magic 5G and see what makes it work from the inside. We'll take a look at the Turbo Cooling fan inside of the Android smartphone, and see if the RedMagic 5g can withstand being taken apart and reassembled. And yes. The fan indeed sucks air in through one side and out the other.

This Phone Really Blows - Red Magic 5G Durability Test!
Source: JerryRigEverything English Archive.org version
The Red Magic 5G android smartphone is one of the only phones in existence with an internal cooling fan. Just like a desktop computer, this fan kicks on when the phone is under load, like during an intense game, or tinder swiping real fast. You know how it is. Its time to see if this internal fan makes the phone weaker at all.

While the Red Magic 5G features a lot of power for the price, it’s hard to recommend for all but the most serious gamers. Simply put, it doesn’t offer extensive band support for any US carrier, and 5G will never be an option for most US users. While there isn't a direct alternative with all of the bells and whistles for gamers, the OnePlus 8 features similar hardware, more extensive 5G support, and a better camera for a similar price. And if you’re willing to spend more, the LG V60 ThinQ 5G offers sub-6GHz support for all carriers (and mmWave support on Verizon), as well as solid gaming features including dedicated buttons on its optional second display.

One of the biggest advantages of the Red Magic 5G over the alternatives is the 144Hz display. So far there's no other phone on the market that can achieve this level of smoothness. Hardcore gamers will probably spot the difference between the Red Magic 5G and the second-best option out there - 120Hz. On the other hand, aside from the OS animations and the standard non-gaming apps, there aren't many places where you can show off your 144Hz screen. There's only one game that supports 144fps and only a few that go beyond 60Hz.

Qualcomm Adreno 650:

适用于智能手机和平板电脑的图形芯片,集成在Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC中。高通公司声称它比Snapdragon 855 SoC中的Adreno 640快25%,并提供了50%以上的计算单元(ALU)。对于Android,它应该是2020年最快的图形卡之一。

SD 865:

于2019年末推出的高端智能手机SoC,以台积电7纳米制程生产。集成了一个主频高达2.84 GHz的ARM Cortex-A77架构的“Prime Core”。另外三个性能内核也基于A77,频率高达2.42 GHz。此外,还集成了四个基于ARM Cortex-A55架构的节能内核,频率1.8 GHz。除了处理器内核之外,SoC还集成了WiFi 6调制解调器(包括60 GHz mmWave支持),Hexagon 698 DSP(最高15 TOPS)和Spectra 480 ISP。集成内存控制器现在支持高达2750 MHz的更快的LPDDR5内存。 SoC中不再包含LTE,但必须使用外部Snapdragon X55 5G基带。

6.65":

只有较少的手机有很大的屏幕。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
