The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 855 SoC paired with up to 12GB of RAM and fast UFS 2.1 storage. In addition to the Red Magic 3, Nubia India also unveiled three accessories for the smartphone - Charging Dock, Earphones, and Game Controller. These accessories will retail around Rs. 1,999 to Rs. 2,999, but their final pricing is yet to be revealed.
The Nubia Red Magic 3 has been priced starting at Rs. 35,999 for the base variant with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The top-tier model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage carries a price tag of Rs. 46,999. The Nubia Red Magic 3 is all set to go on sale starting 12pm (noon), June 27 and it will be available via Flipkart.
The Red Magic 3 will be offered in Black and Red colours for the 8GB RAM variant, where as the 12GB RAM variant will come with Camo finish.
In terms of the launch offers, the Nubia Red Magic buyers will get no-cost EMI options, complete mobile protection, and more.
The dual-SIM (Nano) Nubia Red Magic 3 runs Android Pie and brings a host of gaming-centric features such as Game Space 2.0. It acts as the central gaming dashboard for organising games, tweaking performance settings, real-time stat monitoring, notification management, and a lot more.
The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 855 SoC, paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM. The phone sports a 6.65-inch FHD+ (1080x2340 pixels) HDR AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate, 19.5:9 aspect, 430 nits brightness, and is protected by a layer of 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass.
Nubia Red Magic 3 features a single shooter on the back
In the imaging department, the phone packs a single 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor with f/1.7 aperture that is capable of recording 8K resolution videos at 30fps. On the front, there is a 16-megapixel selfie snapper with f/2.0 aperture and 2.0-micron pixel size.
The phone comes equipped with a 5,000mAh battery with support for 27W fast charging. It features dual front-facing stereo speakers, DTS:X, and 3D sound support for creating a cinematic soundscape. One can also choose to customise the RGB lighting with several effects and over 16.8 million colours with Red Magic's light effects editor.
The biggest draw is the phone's advanced cooling system, which employs an internal turbo fan for thermal management. The storage is taken care of by dual lane UFS 2.1 storage with up to 256GB capacity. Another major talking point is the built-in capacitive shoulder triggers that aim to replace on-screen buttons for more precise control.
