Red Magic 6R
The slim, fan-less gaming phone you can carry every day.
The Nubia Red Magic 6R is a flagship Nubia smartphone released Jun 2021, with a launch price of $520. It pairs the Snapdragon 888 with a 6.67" FHD+ AMOLED 144Hz display, a 64 MP + 8 MP UW + 2 MP macro + 2 MP depth main camera and a 4200 mAh, 30W battery. In SpecEagle's editorial review it scores 82/100 — Gaming you can pocket. Standout strengths: slim 7.8 mm / 186 g — usable as a daily phone and 144hz + snapdragon 888 + shoulder triggers. Main trade-off: no internal fan — thermal throttling under long sessions.
Gaming you can pocket.
