The Red Magic also features air vents for extra cooling as well as multiple layers of graphite on the back to help with heat dispersion. In terms of internals.  the Nubia Red Magic features a 6-inch LTPS display with a resolution of 2160 x 1080p and is protected by NEG Dinorex T2X-1. Red Magic runs on an older Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. The phone comes in either 6 or 8 GB RAM variants with either 64 GB and 128 GB of storage. The phone also packs a 24 MP f/1.7 camera on the back as well as a capable 8 MP f/2.0 wide-angle front camera for selfies. To handle extended gaming sessions, the Red Magic gets a 3,800 mAh battery along with fast-charging capabilities. If it does indeed come to India, then the device will be the very first smartphone marketed as a gamer phone launched here.
