Nubia Red Magic 5G review

The Red Magic 5G is great while you're gaming, but software niggles hold it back at other times.

144Hz display is ideal for gaming Shoulder triggers are handy Impressive battery life

Screen isn’t the most high-res OS lacks customization options Software bugs

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...

Nubia Red Magic 5G review: A gaming great?

With top-drawer Qualcomm SD865, heaps of RAM, a mega battery and cooling system, is this the best gaming phone you can buy right now?

Great price point for the specification ; Dedicated Game Space switch - good for gaming customisation ; Large and bright and smooth screen ; Speedy connectivity ; Cooling and battery mean great longevity

144Hz refresh rate is over hyped ; Chunky build ; Cooling fan can be loud ; Lighting can be distracting ; Software lacks refinements - excess notifications ; Silent alarm ; Etc.

A gaming great on account of its specification. But for everyday use it comes with some caveats.

Red Magic 5G

The Red Magic 5G's big selling point is the world's first 144Hz refresh rate smartphone display. This makes it a stunning device for mobile gamers, but how does the rest of the phone stack up?

Nubia Red Magic 5G review: Hardcore gamer

It's hard not to be tempted by the $579 Nubia Red Magic 5G gaming phone, given the value it offers, so we've been gaming away to see if it's worth your time.

Good gaming-focused design ; Excellent multimedia ability ; Plenty of performance ; Long battery life

Mediocre camera ; Poor software experience ; Fingerprint sensor does not work

Nubia Red Magic 5G Review

The gaming-focused Nubia Red Magic 5G has a buttery smooth 144Hz display and power to spare, but lackluster network band support makes the phone a tough sell in the US.

Fingerprint sensor didn't work in testing ; Middling network support in the US ; Divisive design ; Mediocre cameras

RedMagic 5G Review : More gamer now than phone

The gaming phone RedMagic 5G is effectively a collection of the most interesting gaming technology yet offered on a phone, jammed in the body of a very optimistic handset. This device feels like it was made by a company that had the opportunity to take...

Interesting additions/changes to Android ; Hardware switch launcher for Game Space remains unique ; Fan truly seems to keep phone from getting too hot ; Camera is decent, generally usable ; Decent stereo speaker system

Should include protective case by default ; No wireless charging ; Price only makes sense after extensive use

Nubia's RedMagic 5G is a crazy-fast, super-affordable 5G gaming phone hampered by a lackluster camera and buggy software.

RedMagic 5G review

RedMagic's latest gaming phone offers enough power at the right price that even non-gamers might want to take a look.

What you'll lose by buying the RedMagic 5G is a high-quality design and user experience. While this phone excels with its class-leading refresh rate and chipset/memory combination, the lower-resolution display and uninspired software can't compete with...
