Chinese smartphone maker Nubia has announced its new smartphone in India called the Red Magic 3. The device is targeted towards gamers and has been launched at a price of Rs 35,999 for the base model with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. For Rs 46,999, you can get the 12 GB RAM, 256 GB storage variant. Both devices will be available on 27 June via Flipkart.

Red Magic 3 has a 6.65-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel that has a 90 Hz refresh rate. There is no notch on the device but we see thick bezels on the top and bottom, but they serve the purpose of housing a dual-speaker setup. There is also a 3.5 mm headphone jack which supports Dolby surround sound for more immersive gaming. Apart from that the phone also has two capacitive button on the right side which can double up as air triggers to give you more controls in a game.

Inside the phone is a Snapdragon 855 chipset, and 6, 8, or even 12 GB of RAM. In India, the company is launching only the 8 GB RAM variant with internal storage up to 128 GB. There is also a rear-mounted fingerprint reader that sits beneath a single camera system. This is the first phone ever to has an internal cooling fan to keep temperatures low and the CPU fast while gaming. Whether it works or not is something we'll have to put to the test.
