Nubia Red Magic 6 - Unboxing, Setup and Review By zollotech

Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech- and this is the Nubia red magic. Six. I've taken a look at some of their phones in the past and this is the latest one they have to offer. It comes in at 5.99 and pre-orders are available from April 9th and the launch date is April, 15th all around the world. So let's go ahead and open it up and take a closer look at it see what we've got here, we'll remove the wrapper. Now this comes in two colors eclipse, black and aurora, I'm not sure which color it is.

Let's go ahead and take the cover off here there we go so here's the phone itself, I'm guessing. This is eclipse black, we'll move that to the sign and then here's the box. Let's take a look at what we get with it, and we've got. Some no case looks like a little of paperwork and a sim card removal tool here. So you just have a quick guide and a warranty card included.

We'll set that aside, and then it looks like we have a cable and I opened it from the wrong end, but you've got an USB to USB cable included in the box, and then we should have a charger which just fell out there. So you can see here's the charger. I believe it's a 30 watt adapter that comes with it depending on where you live. It can come up to a 60 watt adapter. So this one is their 30 watt adapter for the global market.

So let me go ahead and set all this aside and take a closer look at the phone. So let's go ahead and take the cover off here, and this is actually a pretty heavy phone and oh there's another sticker here. Let's take this off and there we go so like I said it comes in eclipse black in aurora. This looks like eclipse black, and it's not too different in its look than the 5s that they sold or came out with about six months or so ago. Now, for a quick size comparison before we go around the phone and take a closer look: here's a s21 ultra 5g, so it's actually a little taller than the s21 ultra.

It's also a little wider. It looks like as well and thickness wise, it's very similar. So you can see the overall thickness is about the same and another size comparison. Here's an iPhone 12 Pro max, so it's a little bigger than that. It's definitely a big phone about the same width or so as a 12 pro max very similar, it's very heavy.

Now it has a metal frame with glass around the outside edge. Let's take a look at what we've got so on the right hand, side we've got a vent here, as you can see, there's a vent, then there's a power sleep, wake button and what looks to be a microphone as we go around. There's some antenna lines and these are triggers. So when you want to play games, so there are triggers on either side on the bottom. We have a speaker, then we have our USB for charging another microphone and our sim card tray.

This is supposed to support dual sims: dual 5g sims. So let's pop this out here take a look and, as you can see, it does support dual sims one on each side, and it has a little gasket around the outside edge as well. Let's go ahead and slide this back in there we go and then, on the left-hand side we have another vent below that is our volume rocker, and then we have our gamer switch at the very top. So you can see it looks pretty familiar and then on the back. We've got three different cameras.

Now they don't go into detail about these cameras, but we'll talk more about those a little later on the top of the phone. We have a microphone as well as a 3.5, millimeter, headphone jack and then on the front. This is where this gets fascinating. So at the top we have a speaker of course, and then we've got our camera, but the display it comes pre-installed with a screen protector, as you can see there, maybe around that edge. You can see the screen protector a little, but let's go over the specs, because this display is what makes this unique.

So the display is a 6.8 inch, AMOLED 2400 by 1080, with 387 pixels per inch. It has a 165 hertz, refresh rate with a 500 hertz touch sampling rate, and it can adapt from 60 hertz to 90 to 120 all the way up to 165 hertz. It's a 10 bit display and supports DCI p3 and goes up to 630 nits of brightness. Furthermore, it's covered with 2.5 d, corning, gorilla, glass and then internally, it's a Qualcomm snapdragon 888 with an arena 660 GPU has 12 gigabytes of ram and 128 gigabytes of storage. That's UFS, 3.1 storage! Now, internally, it has a new cooling system. It's their updated cooling system, the ice, 6.0 cooling system, it's active with a fan capable of 20 000 rpm to keep it cool, and it has a huge battery inside as well 5050 William hours, and it can charge up to 66 watt quick charging zero to 100 percent in 65 minutes with a 30 watt adapter and faster with the 66 watt adapter. Now, on the front, there's one camera: it's an 8, megapixel, f, 2.0 camera that can record 1080p 30. , but on the back we have three different cameras.

We have a 64, megapixel, camera f, 1.8, wide 8, megapixel, f, 2.0, ultra-wide and a 2 megapixel macro. You can record 8k 30 or 4k 60. You also have Wi-Fi 6e built in as well, so it's a pretty high-end phone for not too much money compared to the competition. Let's go ahead and boot it up. This should have android 11 with red magic 4.0. So we'll boot it up here and take a look at it, and you'll see it says: red magic, powered by android.

So we'll go ahead and go through the setup here and say: I've read the privacy policy, and now you have the general google setup, so we'll go ahead and hit start connect to a mobile network. Now I'm not putting a sim card in here right now, but we'll go ahead and hit skip, and I'll connect to Wi-Fi. Instead, now that it's connected to Wi-Fi it's asking for an update, so we'll go ahead and hit update now you'll see it says, system, update, downloading and updating. So we'll wait for that to complete, and then we'll continue. Now the phone has been updated and rebooted, I'm not going to copy any apps right now we'll go ahead and hit next wait for it to check info now.

It wants me to sign in with Google, we'll just get to the home screen for now. Wait just a moment here just get through this as fast as we can now. It wants me to put in a pin, so we'll just put in one two three four for now I'll change it a little later- and this also has an under the display fingerprint sensor. So let's go ahead and set that up. It says, touch the sensor.

You'll see it right here. So we'll set this up. So it's using the Google setup for this doesn't have their own fingerprint setup. There we go, and it just takes a moment to set up now. This is supposed to have a 4d shock.

They call it engine inside, which is basically the haptic feedback, so it'll be interesting to see how it is in games and things like that, so we'll go ahead and hit allow for the Nubia launcher, and now we're at the home screen. So this is the main screen and, like I said it has a very fast display you can see in the upper left. It's telling us that we're at 90 hertz, so you can see there 90 hertz and let's see if we have any separate options for that. So we go to the display and, as you can see here, it says, show screen refresh rate, and you can bump this up to esports level picture. It says 165 hertz, so let's go home here.

So the display is super smooth, as you can see here, it has what looks to be stock, google other than the icon arrangement, pretty much. It looks similar to what you get with stock android or what you get on a pixel, for example, as far as wallpapers. Well there's this one we've got a couple different others kind of like that. One we use this for now, and so I'll link this in the description below. If you want this wallpaper and maybe a few of the others, if I can get them off this phone now, let's go ahead and take a look at the gaming modes for this, so we'll switch on gaming, and it brings us to red magic.

It says dedicated game space to give you controls, and this is something that's unique with these phones, so immediately it kicked on the fans, so you've got a fan right here. I don't know if you can hear that. Let me move my microphone, so you can hear it so there's the fan itself. So it's a little noisy. You do have control over this.

It says swipe in, and you can see the turbofan is on. If I turn it off, you won't hear it, and it's back on. You also have RGB light strips on this. So there's a RGB light strip on the back you'll see it's flashing red that you could adjust. If you want to do that, of course, that uses additional battery not too much, but then you can add games.

So let's go ahead and add a few games. Those aren't games, so we'll add a few games, and I'll show you how you can assign the buttons and things like that. Now I've loaded some games to show you how this works and if we flip on the game mode again we'll wait for it to load it kicks on the fan. I can turn that off for now and the back is getting a little warm just from loading everything and that's normal. So the fan would help cool that.

But you can see you can add different games to the game space, and so let's go into one here. I've already got it loaded, and we'll just go into this mode here, and you'll see the fan. We can turn it on or hit confirm here, and then we can go to go ahead and go to start now. As you can see, I'm in the game, and it looks nice and smooth colors are vibrant off-axis, it's okay, I wouldn't say it's amazing, but it looks pretty good overall, it's super smooth, as you would expect, and one of the things you can do with this is assign buttons, such as your triggers to different actions on the screen. So you swipe in from the right here and then tap on shoulder triggers and, as you can see, it says it's just going through how you do this, so we'll set that up now, and we can say I want the shoulder button to do.

Maybe we'll turn that on here, and then you can drag these around to whatever you want it to do. So, if you want the shoulder button to do a certain action, maybe crouch, for example, we can move the left one. Let's move the left one again here we can move the left one to wherever we'd like, and I'll show you that works. So now I can jump with the right trigger in crouch with the left trigger or go prone, so you can do those with the triggers assignable. However, you want to do it, or you can assign it for anything else.

So it's super smooth, as you can see, and working really well, so again jump crouch or whatever you want to assign it to any touch area on the screen. You can do that now. If I turn off the game mode, it goes back to sort of small window, and we can close that out. It's picture-in-picture of your game, we'll close it and because I exited the game just by switching it off like this. If we go back in it kicks the fan back on, so it's a little noisy when you have the fan on, but it is keeping the device nice and cool.

Another thing is this: is a 1080p HDR display, but it can play 4k YouTube videos. You can see that if we go to our options here, you can see our resolutions. We have 2160p HDR, and so we've got all of those different options here as well, which is really nice, and then I wanted to show you what the speakers are like as well as best. I can, I'll go ahead and turn this up. This is a comparison from one of my iPhone videos, so the speakers are nice and loud.

You have great stereo sound when you're holding it like this. It sounds great. Let's take a look at the camera, so we'll go into the camera. You have to agree to it, and then you can see it has HDR auto all the same sort of settings you would expect, and then you have like, I said, 4k 60 video. So if we go to video, we go to the settings here.

You can turn on things like grid, for example, and then video resolution 8k for about 30 frames per second for outdoor use. Only because you need a very bright light, but you can do ultra 4k up to 60 frames per second and in general, it's an okay camera. In my experience, it even has a macro camera, so we'll zoom back out, and I'll bring in the s21 ultra and, as you can see, you can get pretty close. It's not going to be the same quality as the s21 ultra, for example, but it should be decent if you care more about gaming. Of course, that would be the focus.

So, let's see, if we can go back to one x, take a photo here, we'll take one more, and you'll see it took a second to focus. You do have pro modes as well, where you can adjust the ISO or ISO the focus, as well as the white balance and everything else. So if you really want to adjust every little thing, the color tint everything is adjustable here, or you could just use it in full auto. So it's pretty nice that you have all those options, but this is more of a gaming phone, and so this one in particular for what you get with all the latest snapdragon processors, 12 gigs of ram. That sort of thing with 5g makes this a pretty good value for what it is.

You can see in the upper left it's running at a 165 hertz here, and it's just super smooth. Of course, you can adjust that how you'd like just to maybe get some extra battery life out of it and as you're gaming that huge 5050 William hour battery should really help with that. So it's really super smooth. I wouldn't say it's the quality of the s21 ultra display, but it's definitely smoother and set up for gaming when you have the triggers and things like that, I think it's pretty decent for the amount of money. Let me know what you think about it in the comments below and, like I said, I'll link those wallpapers in the description like I normally do.
