GameBench offers your first look at the Nubia Red Magic 5G and 144Hz gaming

Several companies have gone ahead with their announcements that were supposed to take place at Mobile World Congress this week. Nubia was planning to show off the Red Magic 5G this week. Thanks to GameBench publishing performance tests, we’re getting our first live look at the device today.

We already knew a number of things about the Red Magic 5G. Nubia themselves announced the device would have a 144Hz display, up to 16GB of Samsung’s LPDDR5 RAM, support for 80W wired fast charging, and, of course, 5G. Nubia also confirmed the device would be powered by the Snapdragon 865 SoC. GameBench confirms a number of these specifications in their blog post.

Key Specs:

• Android Version: 10
• Red Magic OS Version: 3.0
• Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 (865+X55M) with Adreno 650 GPU
• RAM: 12GB
• Storage: 256GB
• Cooling: Active
• Battery: 5,000mAh

The design of the Red Magic 5G is very much that of a gaming phone. The back of the device features an aggressive “X” pattern with a light-up red Red Magic logo across the middle. The frame is metallic blue and we can see one red button. We can also see the vents for the active cooling and what appear to be connector pins for an accessory. GameBench says they were able to get over 5 hours of playtime on a charge while playing Real Racing 3 at 144fps. This is thanks to the big 5,000 mAh battery.

GameBench performed their testing with a pre-release version of the Red Magic 5G. This is the first handset they’ve benchmarked that delivers a stable frame rate of 144fps. They were able to record a median frame rate of 144fps with Real Racing 3, earning it the badge of Ultra-144. GameBench also tested PUBG Mobile and Arena of Valor (Chinese versions of both).

PUBG Mobile and Arena of Valor don’t yet support 144fps, but they still performed very well on the Red Magic 5G. PUBG MObile recorded a median frame rate of 90fps while Arena of Valor recorded a median frame rate of 60fps. In the case of Valor, it was a perfect 60fps. Check out the chat below to see how all three games fared.
