Nubia Red Magic 5G to feature up to 16GB RAM, air-cooling and 64MP main camera

The upcoming Nubia Red Magic 5G is confirmed to come with a 144Hz refresh rate screen, 80W fast charging and dual-mode 5G. We’ve already seen a live demo of the device courtesy of brand president Ni Fei who showed out the phone’s low latency screencasting prowess.

Now, we get a new set of teasers straight from Fei who suggests the phone will be offered with up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and will come with an “air-cooled fast charging solution”.

Fei further clarifies that this charging solution will rely on the device’s built-in cooling fan to kick and prevent the phone from overheating when fast charging. The Red Magic 5G will automatically monitor its temperature during charge cycles and turn on the fan to cool down its surface temperature. The result is shorter charging times and lower heat dissipation during charging cycles which should be beneficial for the battery cell’s long term health.

In addition to the new RAM and charging details we also get a camera sample from the phone which shows impressive detail levels even at pixel level. According to a new rumor the device will ship with the 64MP Sony IMX686 sensor alongside two more shooters which are yet to be detailed.
