ZTE nubia Red Magic 3 review

ZTE or should we say Nubia can be considered as sort of a veteran when it comes to the gaming smartphone scene. Ever since the Snapdragon 835, the company...

Capacitive triggers on the right side are convenient and ergonomic.

The capacitive triggers lack sensitivity and haptic feedback adjustment.

If you are the kind of hands-on tinkerer that can stomach all this and invest the time to work it all out and make the Red Magic 3 yours then there is plenty of value and performance to be had there at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a...

The Nubia Red Magic 3 Review: A 90Hz Gaming Phone With Active Cooling

We've covered many smartphone vendors here at AnandTech over the years, but one vendor we never had the chance to have a look at is ZTE, or more precisely, its associate company Nubia. I've encountered the vendor's products at trade shows over the...

Overall, I think the best features of the Red Magic 3 remains its 90Hz screen as well as its very large battery capacity. Its performance is also among the best S855 out there. While it’s lacking some other high-end flagship features, particularly in...

Interesting additions/changes to Android ; Hardware switch launches Game Space 2.0 ; Fan truly seems to keeps phone from getting too hot ; Camera is decent, especially for a single-lens setup ; Surprisingly affordable

Case options are relatively slim ; No wireless charging ; No NFC

This Is the Best Gaming Phone Yet

Less than two years ago, gaming phones weren't even a thing. But now, they are an entire category unto themselves. Asus made one, Xiaomi made one (with another on the way), and Razer made two. And while there are some people that continue to question...

Slick design, rear RGB lighting, big specs, long battery life, good price. It has a fan!

Nubia Red Magic 3 review

The first phone with a fan wants to blow gamers away

Super-sized 90Hz OLED screen is great for gaming ; Hard to find a faster phone for the money ; Fantastic battery life, both in games and in general use

Not significantly faster than other Snapdragon 855 phones ; Localised software has a few rough edges ; Loses out on features in the focus on gaming

A proper performance bargain, if not quite as powerful as a dedicated cooling fan might suggest. Still, the Red Magic 3 should tick all the right boxes for mobile gamers

When the likes of Razer and Asus began releasing 'dedicated' gaming phones a short while back, it was tempting to surmise that this trend would be a short-lived one. After all, if Sony couldn't break the market with its Xperia Play 'PlayStation Phone',...
