In terms of appearance design, the Red Magic 5S mobile phone is known to be the most beautiful gaming phone. The design style is different from other tough and sharp-line gaming mobile phones.
Red Magic 5S rear shell uses nano AG glass + ICE Ag (superconducting metallic silver technology), optimized edge design, one-handed holding is more comfortable, retains the 3.5mm headphone jack, concave dual IC touch, shoulder gaming key, the one-key magic competition key, and the light of faith, the eye of the Red Magic.
Cooling System
In terms of heat dissipation, Red Magic 5S is equipped with a newly upgraded three-dimensional multi-dimensional heat dissipation system ICE 4.0, built-in high-efficiency centrifugal fan with a speed of up to 15,000 rpm + transparent north-south air duct design + aerospace-grade nano thermal material + 10 intelligent temperature sensors, and Industry-leading L-shaped liquid cooling tube. Red Magic 5S also uses the world’s highest thermal conductivity metal process-silver (ICE Ag) for the first time, attaching the silver to the bottom of the metal decorative part, which plays the role of internal and external heat conduction center.
Ice Wind Cooling Box
For players with extreme requirements for heat dissipation, Nubia has also launched a stronger solution-an external ice wind-heat dissipation box, which increases the heat dissipation efficiency of the whole machine by 56% and can also act as a 30W PD fast charging head.
The Red Magic Ice Wind Cooling Box uses semiconductors to dissipate heat, and the speed can reach 8000 rpm. It is officially called a 1-second rapid cooling.
In terms of interfaces, the Red Magic Ice Wind Cooling Box uses two USB-C interfaces. In the case of an external power supply, you can use another jack to charge the phone. At this time, you can also plug in headphones through the 3.5mm interface. The Red Magic Ice Wind Cooling Box price is 169 yuan (about ₹1,800).
Performance
In terms of configuration, the Red Magic 5S uses the Snapdragon 865 5G platform. The whole system comes standard with LPDDR5+UFS 3.1 flash memory and supports Nubia’s GPU Boost technology, which further improves the running score. AnTuTu scores 659,586 points and Master Lu 616085 points.
