Nubia just announced a new device, the ZTE Nubia Red Magic, which is basically a smartphone dedicated for gaming. Just like the Xiaomi Black Shark that was announced few days ago, Nubia Red Magic was also designed having the game lovers in mind. The edgy shape of the phone was inspired by a battleship, having some configurable LED strips which impressed from the back. The design also feature three vents for some sort of air cooling and graphite layers for quick and even heat dispersion. See the full specifications and features of the ZTE Nubia Red Magic, as well as its price and availability.
