Nubia Red Magic 5S launched with upgraded cooling system
Nubia Red Magic 5S doesn't come with Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset
Red Magic 5S could launch globally sometime in September
Nubia Red Magic 5S has launched as the successor to the Red Magic 5G and it comes with an upgraded cooling system. The Red Magic 5S was earlier rumoured to launch with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset, also found on the Asus ROG Phone 3 and Lenovo Legion Phone Duel. However, the Red Magic 5S doesn't come with the overclocked version of the chipset.
Unfortunately, the only upgrade the Red Magic 5S gets over the Red Magic 5G is an upgraded cooling system which enables 43 per cent more ventilation and the 15,000 rpm high-speed fan is able to dissipate heat with much ease. The cooling system also gets a silver-plated thermal plate instead of copper heatsinks and the fan also assists in keeping the temperatures down while fast charging at 55W.
Nubia Red Magic 5S pricing
Nubia Red Magic 5S is priced starting at CNY 3,799 (~Rs 40,600) for the base variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, CNY 4,399 (~Rs 47,000) for the variant with 12GB/256GB and CNY 4,999 (~Rs 53,400) for the maxed-out variant with 16GB RAM and 256GB storage.
The Red Magic 5S is expected to roll-out globally sometime in September and could launch in India at that time.
