The smartphone OEM Nubia has announced a new launch event for devices to be sold under its 'gaming' brand Red Magic. They include the rumored overclockable phone the 5S. However, they also apparently include less typical debuts for a Wi-Fi 6 router and a portable fan with inbuilt retro gaming.

Red Magic has reportedly sent out invites for a launch event to be held in China on July 28, 2020. It will debut its first router, which supports the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard. Its parent company's CEO, Ni Fei, has confirmed that it will activate improvements in terms of bandwidth and speed when it detects that a phone from its own brand is connected.

The new router, which has a rather sizeable cuboid shape and gamer-esque vents, will also apparently feature a high-performance processor and multi-user support. However, it is not the only new, non-phone device that may be launched under the Red Magic name, and far from the most unusual.

A new report claims that the brand will also introduce its first personal fan. This portable accessory will have its signature logo and a white colorway. However, it will not be your average smartphone-company-sold fan: it is also said to feature a screen under its main event.

This little display is also paired with buttons, used to play a Tetris-like game. This strange mini console-slash-fan may take the stage alongside something else that may be able to play games while powering a spinning fan: the Red Magic 5S. According to a new leak, it will be a refresh of the current 5G gaming flagship, but will come with the ability to overclock its GPU.
