Nubia is preparing to launch a new Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered gaming smartphone that breaks away from its Red Magic line. With 94.5 W charging, premium design, and flagship specs, it’s shaping up to challenge the Realme GT 8, Redmi K90, and OnePlus Ace 6.

Nubia is working on another gaming smartphone codenamed Nubia P0110. It will not carry a RedMagic branding, even though evidence shows it is a highly specced gaming device.

The Nubia P0110 has been spotted on different databases such as Geekbench and 3C, giving fans a preview of what is coming tentatively at the end of 2025. The smartphone, equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, will go against performance heavyweights such as the Realme GT 8, Redmi K90, iQoo Neo 11, and OnePlus Ace 6.

The Geekbench listing shows the Nubia P0110 will have 16 GB of RAM and run Android 15. The phone also posts flagship testing numbers such as 2,673 single-core and 7,596 multi-core points. Geekbench does not include the name of the chipset, but the CPU and GPU specs point to a Snapdragon 8 Elite.

The smartphone’s 3C certification, issued recently, reveals Nubia P0110 may ship with a 94.5 charger, meaning it is a top contender in the charging department, too.

Meanwhile, the P0110 is most likely not a MagicRed. The two listings do not include the final name but are simply listed under Nubia.

However, information shared by Nubia executive Zhang Lei on Weibo may indicate when the Nubia P0110 will be released. Lei stated that a “national gaming phone” featuring the same rear panel technology as the OnePlus 15 will launch in December 2025.
