Good luck with that framerate –
Plus it comes in some ridiculous color combinations.

Here’s the wild “Cyber Neon” color, which is definitely not colored after the Nintendo Switch.

This version I’ll call “Not Iron Man.”

Here is the limited edition “Transparent” version. Supposedly you’ll be able to see the fan spinning.

The boring black model.

Here’s how the fan works. Air comes in the one side and goes out the other.

The fan looks to be your standard blower model.

Here you can get a good look at the air vents. The block button at the top is a shoulder button.

Here’s what the display looks like.

On the top, there’s a headphone jack!

Chinese OEM Nubia (an offshoot of ZTE) has announced the latest in its line of gaming phones: the Nubia Red Magic 5G .
There are a couple niche brands out there that make “gaming” Android phones, but Nubia’s Red Magic series is probably the gamer-i-est gaming phone thanks to the inclusion of an internal cooling fan. Yes, just like a laptop, the CPU in this phone is cooled by an actual, spinny fan that blasts heat out of the side of the phone. The fan exhausts via a vent on the right side of the phone, above the power and volume button, and it pulls in air from another chunky vent on the left. This is easily the most extreme smartphone cooling solution on the market, and hopefully it ensures your marathon mobile gaming sessions avoid any kind of thermal throttling.
The display is a 6. – inch (x) Hz OLED display, which also helps with the whole “gamer” motif , since that’s the same refresh rate as many PC gaming monitors today. It also happens to be the fastest smartphone display on Earth, besting the previous record of (Hz.)
Other specs include a Snapdragon , 8, , or GB of RAM, GB or (GB of storage, mAh battery, and Android
The phone also comes in some wild (and highly referential) color combinations. Besides the boring black version, there’s a neon red and blue version that is definitely not supposed to evoke the Nintendo Switch controllers. There’s also a red and gold version that is legally distinct from Marvel’s Iron Man. Dig into the website and you’ll also find a crazy “transparent” version that will supposedly let you see the internal fan and various chips. We’ve seen phones with fake transparent backs before, so it’s hard to know if this phone is truly transparent or not just from the render.
The phone is launching now in China and will be out “globally” in April. The prices in China range from (CNY) $ 728 to CNY4, 2018 ($
