Chinese phone maker Nubia launched the Nubia Red Magic 5G gaming smartphone in China. The Nubia Red Magic 5G has been priced at CNY 3,799 (approx. Rs. 40,300) in its ‘base’ 8GB/128GB configuration. Being a gaming-centric smartphone, cameras are not a key highlight of the Nubia Red Magic 5G but it still comes with a decent 64-megapixel primary sensor on the rear. However, it has only an 8-megapixel shooter up front.
