Nubia Red Magic 5G to pack 80W fast charging
The Nubia Red Magic 5G is shaping up to be a beast of a phone with a 144Hz refresh rate display, Snapdragon 865, dual-mode 5G and blazing fast 80W fast charging. Last week we saw a live demo of the phone’s new low latency wireless screencasting feature and now the brand’s president Ni Fei took to Weibo again to tease the new super fast charging of the upcoming gaming phone.
