Nubia Red Magic 3

The Nubia Red Magic 3 comes as the successor to the Nubia Red Magic that launched in 2018. Just like its predecessor, the Nubia Red Magic 3 focuses on gaming performance, for which, it has a high refresh rate display, a flagship processor from Qualcomm, a large battery, advanced cooling system, and gaming-focused software features.

The display of the Nubia Red Magic 3 is quite different from what you see on most smartphones. It is a 6.0-inch Super AMOLED unit with Full HD+ resolution and an impressive 120Hz refresh rate. The higher refresh rate offers a smoother motion, due to which not only the content on the screen looks more appealing to the eyes, but it also allows for a better gaming experience. The display also supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

While most other smartphones of 2019 feature a dual-camera setup, the Nubia Red Magic 3 has a single 24MP rear camera and an 8MP front-facing camera. In spite of a single camera at the back, the Red Magic 3 can take portrait images, courtesy of its intelligent camera software. The rear camera can also record 4K videos at 60 frames per second.

The Nubia Red Magic 3 features the Snapdragon 855 SoC, which is the flagship chipset from Qualcomm for 2019. The chipset has eight CPU cores in total, among which, four are power-efficient cores for lighter tasks, and four high-performance cores for heavy applications. For graphics, the SoC has Adreno 640 GPU, which for 2019, offers an excellent graphics performance. The Nubia Red Magic 3 comes in multiple configurations, but this particular variant has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The smartphone runs on Android 9 Pie OS with a custom UI theme from the brand.

As the Nubia Red Magic 3 features a higher refresh rate display and a performance-oriented chipset, it has a higher power consumption, and to take care of that, the device features a 4000mAh battery. The device also has 18W fast charging with both, Quick Charge 4+ and USB-PD fast charging standards. The Nubia Red Magic 3 features all the connectivity options that you would expect from a high-end smartphone of 2019, such as, dual-SIM with dual-VoLTE, dual-band Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth v5.0, and USB Type-C port. Unlike many flagships, the Nubia Red Magic retains the 3.5mm audio jack.
