Value hunters will have their eyes on the Nubia RedMagic 5G which is headed to the US from just US$579.

As a gaming focused smartphone (hence the color schemes), it also incorporates a combination of fan and liquid cooling that can lower the SoC temp by up to 18 degrees C. The device also includes built-in shoulder trigger buttons that will come in handy in mobile titles like Fortnite and PUBG.

The battery is also pretty solid rated at 4,500 mAh with support for up to 55 W quick charging, which is among the faster solutions on the market. Cameras are also high-end and include a 68 MP IMX686 sensor from Sony as the main shooter. Wi-Fi 6 is also onboard while it runs a custom variant of Android 10 out of the box.
