About ZTE Nubia Red Magic 5G

The ZTE Nubia Red Magic 5G presents a striking 6.65‑inch AM‑OLED screen that delivers vivid colours and sharp detail at a resolution of 1080 by 2340 pixels. Encased in a slim frame measuring 78 by 168.56 by 9.75 millimetres and weighing just 218 grams, the device feels both substantial and manageable in the hand, offering a modern look that complements its high‑performance internals.

Under the display runs Android 10, powered by an ample 16 GiB of RAM that ensures smooth multitasking and responsive performance. A 4500 mAh battery provides the endurance needed for extended use, while the phone supports a single SIM connection for straightforward mobile connectivity. These specifications combine to create a device aimed at users who value a bright display, generous memory, and reliable battery life in a compact form factor.

This variant

This Premium Edition variant targets the Chinese market and comes with Dual‑SIM TD‑LTE support, 256 GB of internal storage and 12 GiB of RAM.

Relative to the other Red Magic 5G versions, it differs from the Global Premium Edition 128 GB model by being a China‑specific device with double the storage while sharing the same RAM and edition. Compared with the Transparent Edition CN 256 GB, it retains the standard finish instead of a see‑through design but otherwise matches storage and memory. It aligns with the Top Edition CN 256 GB in storage but offers a lower RAM tier. Against the Premium Edition CN 128 GB model it doubles the storage while keeping the same RAM and edition, and versus the Standard Edition models (both CN and Global) it steps up to the Premium tier, increases memory and expands storage.
