Red Magic 3 Review

Lisa Gade reviews the Red Magic 3, an Android unlocked 4G LTE smartphone with very high end specs and a low price tag. The Red Magic 3 is a gaming phone, with an esthetic to match, though it’s not too blingy if you go with our black model. The real excitement here are the specs you get for $479: a bright and huge 2340 x 1080 OLED 6.65” 90Hz display with Gorilla Glass 2.5D, a Snapdragon 855 processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, fingerprint scanner, headphone jack, 48MP rear camera (Sony sensor), 16MP selfie camera and a 5,000 mAh battery. A higher end config is coming with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Nubia makes the Red Magic 3, but they’re spinning Red Magic off as an independent marketing brand. The phone competes with higher priced smartphones like the OnePlus 7 Pro and has higher end specs than the cheaper Razer Phone 2— watch our review to see how well it does.
