It's time to show the back of your smartphone
Redmagic, developed by Nubia, an affiliate of ZTE, is a brand of gaming smartphones. Overseas, the latest model "Redmagic 6s Pro" was released in September.
The Redmagic series is also officially sold in Japan, and it has been announced that the Redmagic 6s Pro introduced this time will also be released in Japan around the end of October 2021. Speaking of gaming smartphones sold in Japan, ASUS's "ROG Phone" is known, but in addition, "Black Shark" developed by Xiaomi's affiliated company Black Shark is also on sale, and in fact gaming smartphones in Japan offers multiple products.
The launch cycle of new smartphone models is accelerating year by year, and it has become common for Chinese manufacturers in particular to change models every six months. Nubia just released "Redmagic 6 Pro" in March this year. Equipped with Snapdragon 888, it was the world's first high-performance gaming smartphone with 18GB of memory capacity. Redmagic 6s Pro, which appeared half a year later, changed the chipset to the latest Snapdragon 888+, and further brushed up the body design.
Gaming smartphones are equipped with different functions than general smartphones. For example, there are two touch sensors on the side of the main unit, and when held horizontally, the left and right can be used as game buttons. In addition, since the main unit overheats by operating at high performance, the cooling performance has also been strengthened. Redmagic has a built-in rotating cooling fan inside the main unit, and adopts a method of taking in and discharging air from the left and right slits of the main unit. Although this eliminates the waterproof performance, it is more important for game users to be able to play high-spec games smoothly than the waterproof function.
Nubia adopted this cooling fan mechanism from "Redmagic 3" released in 2019, and when playing games on a smartphone, I heard the sound of the fan turning when I brought my ear close to the back. And in March 2020, in order to appeal to the existence of this fan, limited models with transparent backs of "Redmagic 5G" and "Redmagic 5" were introduced. Xiaomi and others have already released a transparent model that allows you to see the substrate, etc., but the Nubia made it possible to see the fan spinning, and it was a cooler atmosphere.
In this way, Nubia's latest model Redmagic 6s Pro, which has released "cooling smartphones" and "showing smartphones", has a new "colorful glow" function. The cooling fan has a built-in RGB light that shines brightly while the fan is rotating.
By installing this glowing rotating cooling fan, Redmagic 6s Pro has decided to deploy a transparent model worldwide, and a transparent version "Ghost Color" will be released in Japan. It is likely that the product will come with a transparent cover, but the way the back glows looks so cool that it seems pointless to attach a non-transparent case. Overseas, the 16GB + 256GB model costs $ 729 (about 83,000 yen). How much will it cost in Japan?
Of course, the specs as a gaming smartphone are also very powerful. The display supports 165Hz drive. The iPhone 13 now supports 120Hz, but smooth scrolling and display that goes beyond that is possible. Also, the reaction speed when touching the display is 720Hz. This is often around 240Hz for gaming smartphones from other companies, and it is said that general smartphones are 120Hz for iPhone 12. In other words, the Red Magic 6s Pro has a reaction speed that is 6 times faster when touched, so you can comfortably operate during the game.
Nubia also sells a cooling fan "Ice Dock" that can be attached to the main unit with a clip. This Ice Dock also has a glowing fan inside, and it has two fans, so it looks spectacular. In fact, this clip-type cooling fan is also available from each gaming smartphone manufacturer and brand, but only Nubia has a fan that shines with a dual method.
If you go to a corner of a consumer electronics mass retailer, you will notice a gaming PC corner that emits flashy lights. In the world of PCs, gaming PCs have already become commonplace for products that glow. Gaming smartphones may come out with even more flashy models in a few years. Regardless of your preference, you will definitely stand out if you use a glowing smartphone.
