Hands-on with the Nubia Red Magic 5G – 144Hz Gaming [Video]

Earlier this month, the Red Magic 5G was officially announced. This is the latest device in the growing “gaming smartphone” category. The Red Magic 5G boasts a few features that should set it apart from the competition, most notably the 144Hz display. XDA TV’s TK Bay has the device and shared his unboxing and first impressions in the video below.

The Red Magic 5G features a lot of impressive specifications (listed in the chart below) and features. As mentioned above, the big highlight is the 144Hz display. As with any other device that has a high refresh rate display, not all apps support it. The display can be set to 60Hz, 90Hz, and 144Hz. If an app doesn’t support 144Hz it will default to the highest supported refresh rate.

Some of the other gaming features that TK talks about is the “Turbo Fan” for cooling and the shoulder buttons. There are vents on each side of the Red Magic 5G that allows a fan to pull air through the phone. The shoulder buttons are touch-sensitive and can be mapped to on-screen buttons, giving you much more control.

TK is impressed with the Snapdragon 865 processor and the high-end specifications of the Red Magic 5G. He also likes all of the custom gaming features, such as the game launcher, buttons, and cooling fan. Watch the video above to get his full 10+ minute first impressions.
