ZTE Nubia Red Magic Mars

“A proper performance bargain, if not quite as powerful as a dedicated cooling fan might suggest. Still, the Red Magic 3 should tick all the right boxes for mobile gamers.”

“With great build quality and fast performance in running games like PUBG Mobile, the Red Magic shows Nubia's prowess. But with older specifications and an unpolished software, it is hard to recommend this otherwise good smartphone.”

“I wish Nubia put a bit more polish on the Red Magic’s software and spent more time providing timely security updates. Yet for mobile gaming fanatics looking for a big phone at a great price, the Red Magic 3 can’t be denied.”

“We think the Nubia Red Magic will appeal to people who want to show off. You can certainly play games very well, but that doesn't make this phone better than other options at its price level. With better specs, more thoughtful design, and no adware, we would have been more likely to give it a recommendation. It's still a powerful phone, but it isn't the best option at its price unless you really want a phone with a LED light strip.”
