Chinese smartphone brand nubia launched its very first gaming smartphone – the nubia Red Magic – back in April this year. And, if the latest report is to be believed, then the nubia Red Magic will be reaching Indian shores pretty soon. After Diwali, to be precise.
According to a report by Gadgets360, nubia will be launching its Red Magic gaming smartphone in India after Diwali. This means the smartphone could launch in India any time after November 11. The report further states that the Red Magic would be priced in India under ₹30,000. In China, the base variant of the Red Magic is priced at ¥2499 which translates to around ₹26,380, whereas the top model is priced at ¥2999 which translates to around ₹31,656.
For those unaware, the nubia Red Magic is powered by last year’s Snapdragon 835 SoC which is mated to 6 or 8 GB RAM. The 6 GB RAM variant comes with 64 GB of internal storage whereas the 8 GB RAM variant comes with 128 GB of internal storage.

There’s no word from nubia regarding the launch of Red Magic in India. However, in our opinion, nubia should skip the Red Magic and launch the Red Magic 2 instead in India. After all, the smartphone is more than six months old and is powered by last year’s Snapdragon 835 SoC. In comparison, the Red Magic 2 that’s going to be unveiled soon will be coming with Snapdragon 845 SoC, 10 GB RAM, and dual air cooling.
