RedMagic 5S review: Gaming great, but an everyday average

 

The gaming phone - shown here in its red and blue 'Pulse' finish - brings a lot of spec for the money, including a 144Hz fast refresh screen.

Dedicated Game Space switch - good for gaming customisation ; Large and bright and smooth 144Hz screen ; Cooling and battery mean great longevity ; Powerful spec ; Good price point for this specification

Some software hiccups - Android Auto won't work for example ; Barely different to the RedMagic 5G ; Cooling fan noise ; Chunky build ; Limited cameras experience

This gaming phone is an eye-catching gaming great available for a very fair price. But that comes with some compromises when it comes to everyday use.

RedMagic 5S review: Great at games, but not much else

 

Gaming phones are a newer niche for Android devices, and Nubia is one of the companies running headlong into this fledgling field. This past May, we took

Gaming ; This thing chews through games, some of best performance on Android to date ; Screen ; At 144Hz this is the smoothest screen I've used on Android. Colors pop, brightness is uniform without any grainy whites ; Battery life ; Recalls the flip...
