Nubia Red Magic 5S

Nubia has unveiled the all-new Red Magic 5S in China that comes with 144Hz display, active cooling fan. The new Nubia Red Magic 5S is a minor upgrade over its predecessor and it packs in Qualcomm’s latest flagship Snapdragon 865 Plus chip, coupled with up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

The device features the same 6.65-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling, and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

The Red Magic 5S includes an improved cooling system, with a silver-plated cooling pad called ICE Ag accompanying the 15,000 RPM built-in fan for better thermal performance under load and while charging. Speaking of which, the device retains the 4,500mah battery from its predecessor that supports 55W fast charging.

In the camera department, the Nubia Red Magic 5S still packs in a 64MP IMX686 primary sensor, coupled with an 8MP wide-angle camera, and a 2MP macro camera on the back. The device also features RGB lighting zones and capacitive touch triggers that offer a touch sampling rate of 320Hz.

Along with the Red Magic 5S, Nubia has also unveiled its new Red Magic TWS gaming earphones that feature a unique design and boast of a low-latency gaming mode that can drop the delay to just 39ms. The company has also launched a pair of neckband-style wireless earphones that also feature the same low latency gaming mode. The Nubia Red Magic 5S is currently available in China via sale.

The device comes in three Ram/storage configurations -- 8GB+128GB, 12GB+256GB and 16GB+256GB at CNY 3,799, CNY 4,399 and CNY 4,999 respectively.

Along with the distinct red and blue two-tone colour variant, the Red Magic 5S will also be available in a new silver colour option. The device is expected to launch globally later this year in September.„
