Short Review

  • The ZTE nubia RedMagic features a robust design with a glass front and aluminum back, measuring 158.1 x 74.9 x 9.5 mm and weighing 185g.
  • Its 6.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels at a density of approximately 402 ppi, though it lacks HDR support and refreshes at 60Hz.
  • Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset, it delivers solid performance with an octa-core CPU and Adreno 540 GPU, available in configurations of 6GB or 8GB RAM.
  • The rear camera boasts a 24 MP sensor with an f/1.7 aperture, capable of recording 4K video at 30fps, while the 8 MP front camera serves for selfies.
  • A 3800mAh battery supports 18W charging but lacks wireless capabilities.
  • The device runs on Android 8.1 with the Redmagic 1.0 interface, offering a straightforward user experience.
  • Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and USB Type-C, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The absence of stereo speakers is notable, although it retains a headphone jack.
  • Available in Black, Red, and Flame Red, the RedMagic combines gaming aesthetics with functional design.
