Reviews for the ZTE Nubia Red Magic 6

Nubia Red Magic 6
Source: GSM Choice English EN→zh-CN
Is Nubia Red Magic 6 a significant improvement over the previous model? In some respects, yes. The interior has been modernized, a better display and more LED lights have been added. High efficiency, decent speakers and an acceptable battery are kept. The cameras appear untouched, but the quality of photos and videos has slightly improved. First of all - cooling. The fan - although modified - howls like a damn and takes its toll not only while playing, but also during filming. However, we can not always turn it off, because a phone forced to work can turn into a heater. There will be a working NFC in Europe, you can also quietly count (although I doubt it a bit...) for a better translation of the interface. Maybe the manufacturer will also do something about the excessive heat emission...? In any case - if you were ordering Red Magic 6 - make sure the phone is officially in Europe!

Red Magic 6 Teardown! - I made a mistake....

Some phones have intersting things inside. This new Red Magic 6 Gaming phone from Nubia is one of those interesting phones. There is a spinning turbo fan inside that is used to cool the phone down in extreme gaming situations. Today we are going to see what that turbo fan looks like from the inside.

Nubia RedMagic 6 Pro Audio review: A good in-game audio performance
Source: DxOMark English EN→zh-CN
Although the Nubia’s latest flagship globally performs slightly better than the 5S, it is still hamstrung by a poor recording performance across all sub-scores — except for dynamics. In the playback area, however, the RedMagic 6 Pro fulfills its pledge by delivering clear treble, good high-end extension, and above all, a very good in-game audio performance thanks to the absence of user-induced artifacts, precise localizability, and good wideness.

76% RedMagic 6 review
Source: Android Guys English EN→zh-CN
The RedMagic 6 is a gaming phone at heart and if that’s what you mainly use your phone for then you’ll love all of the enhancements it provides, such as a large display with a 165Hz refresh rate, cooling fan, customizable shoulder triggers, and more. While it excels at gaming, it comes up short in some other key areas like the overall user experience and camera. At least it still provides great battery life though. If you’re a gamer at heart then it’s hard to get more bang for your buck with the RedMagic 6 retailing for $600 with top-of-the-line specs. Just don’t expect it to be the do it all for you phone at that price.

Red Magic 6 Review: A literally cool gaming phone

Red Magic returns with their latest gaming smartphone, the Red Magic 6. Performance remains a top priority, but what parts of the general smartphone experience had to be dialed back to create this mobile gaming beast?

Source: Android Police English EN→zh-CN
So like all gaming phones, it's tough to call it one way or the other. Ultimately the RedMagic 6 is a mixed bag. As a gamer, I came away impressed with the performance you get for the price, but as an Android enthusiast, the lack of software polish really puts a damper on the user experience. If you're willing to live with more than a few compromises in exchange for quality mobile gaming on a budget, then you’ll be happy with the RedMagic 6.

90% RedMagic 6 Review: The Gaming Phone for Everyone
Source: Phandroid English EN→zh-CN
So should you buy it? Well, even without all of the extra gaming features, the RedMagic 6 is a surprisingly great device overall considering that it’s priced at just $599. This is $200 cheaper than the latest Galaxy S21 and is $80 cheaper than its closest competition in the ROG Phone 5 despite the former featuring lesser specs than RedMagic. If you want a great gaming phone with some RGB and don’t care about the cameras, then the RedMagic 6 is almost perfect.

Nubia Red Magic 6 Review – Crazy 165Hz AMOLED Gaming Display [Video]
Source: XDA Developers English EN→zh-CN
Last month, Nubia unveiled its newest gaming phone in China — the Red Magic 6. The phone subsequently launched internationally with a larger battery and Google apps pre-installed. Nubia’s latest gaming phone leaves no stone unturned when it comes to raw hardware, packing a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a whopping 165Hz refresh rate and up to 500Hz touch sampling rate, top-of-the-line Snapdragon 888 chipset, 12GB RAM, 128GB UFS 3.1 storage, a 5,050mAh battery with 66W fast charging, and a built-in active cooling fan. XDA’s TK Bay recently got his hands on the Tencent Edition Red Magic 6 and here’s what he thinks about this beast of a device.

80% Red Magic 6 review: Great gaming hardware with challenging software
Source: Android Authority English EN→zh-CN
The Red Magic 6 builds on the gaming phone traditions of its predecessors and it does it all for less than $600. The Snapdragon 888 is great, plus you get a 165Hz display, active cooling, at least 12GB of RAM, and hardware shoulder buttons. But like its predecessors, the software could be improved and the update situation is hazy at best. If you can get past those large caveats and can live with a very average camera, then the Red Magic 6 could be the gaming phone for you.

85% RedMagic 6 review: RedMagic's best phone yet, but it still needs better software
Source: Neowin English EN→zh-CN
The RedMagic 6 is still one of the most affordable gaming phones you can buy with top-of-the-line hardware, and for that reason alone, it's worthy of being considered. But gaming phones are evolving quickly, and if you have the money to spend, options like the Legion Phone Duel 2 or the ROG Phone 5 from ASUS are beating RedMagic in areas where it used to stand out - offering more control options, an internal cooling fan, or more customization.

The Red Magic 6 is still a great bang for the buck deal. It has the best chipset, an excellent screen, big enough battery (although not excellent, the battery life has been improved over the last two generations) and excellent speakers, which are not only loud but good-sounding too.

RedMagic 6 is a True Gaming Powerhouse Smartphone With an Unbelievable Price [Review]
Source: G Style Magazine English EN→zh-CN
The RedMagic 6 is a very interesting proposition. What I find interesting and insane is the fact that RedMagic can pack in some crazy specs, such as the Snapdragon 888, 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, 128GB storage, 165Hz display, touch shoulder triggers, 66W charging, 5G network support, WiFi 6E, very loud speakers, Android 11, and a great cooling system at an insanely competitive price of just $599! That’s like half the price of a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra with near the same specs. Not only that, this actually comes with a charger and there’s still an AUX jack on the phone!

If all you care about is gaming, the Nubia Red Magic is great – it’s got top specs, a high screen refresh rate and easy-to-use haptic triggers. The handset is a little rough around the edges though, with a noisy internal fan, some software issues and a UI that might not be to everyone’s tastes. The clincher for some, though, could be its price, which makes it more affordable than its rivals.

The RedMagic 6 is fine as a gaming phone, and starting at $599, it’s a killer value compared to the ROG Phone 5. Though it gets plenty right, the RedMagic 6 also makes noticeable compromises to hit its low price tag.

This gaming phone is well priced, seriously powerful, and has a faster screen refresh rate than you'll find on any other phone right now. Whether you'll get genuine use from that high-flying 165Hz figure, however, is another matter. And for everyday use Nubia's software flaws, camera overselling, and approaching unwieldy size are all considerations that may make you ponder just how game-focused you really want your phone to be.

RedMagic 6 Unboxing Photos and Impressions – Flagship Level for $600??
Source: G Style Magazine English EN→zh-CN
Just from pulling it out of the box, I’m already very excited to get more hands on time with the RedMagic 6. The phone feels incredibly solid and while it is a large phone, it’s very comfortable to hold. It doesn’t feel quite as heavy as something like a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, but it does have some heft to it.

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。
