Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and this is the nubia red magic 5s this is
the latest gaming phone from nubia and it comes in at 579 with 8 gigabytes
of ram or 128 gigabytes of storage or 649
with 12 gigabytes of ram and 256 gigabytes of storage
now this particular model as you can see here is the eight gigabyte 128 gig of
storage variant in sonic silver there's also
another color pulse if you opt for the more expensive option but
this one should be pretty interesting similar to their previous phone the
nubia red magic 5g so let's go ahead and open this up and
take a closer look at it we'll try some gaming and things like
that so let's open this up cut the seal here there we go
and see what we've got in the box now the specs inside of this for what you
get for the price are pretty impressive and that's what
i've seen from nubia before so let's see if we can open this up here
and here is the phone we'll take a closer look at that in just a moment
we'll set that aside and then inside we've just got a couple
different boxes and this is typical nubia packaging
so they're very similar see what we've gotten here
we've got a sim card removal tool we've got a tpu case which is nice
and then we have a looks like a quick start guide
so with all of the different features of the phone so we have this tpu case that
comes with it it's just a nice clear flexible case to
keep it protected it's always nice to see that included
and then we have our usbc cable for charging so we've got usb a
to usbc and then also we should have a charger now this battery is actually
capable of fast charging but they have a different charger for
the united states this is an early model so they sent this along so i could check
it out but this charger won't work for me here
but this is the charger that's available throughout the world in many places so
you can see that it will fast charge pretty quickly
i'll talk more about that in a moment now let's take a closer look at the
phone so we'll take the packaging off or the wrapper off
and i really like this color let's take this sticker off here
there we go i really like this silver color
the last color they sent me was a little bit too much for my liking but overall
it's a really nice looking device so let's go over the outside edge
and then we'll talk about specs so here you can see we have our triggers
and these are supposedly refreshing at over 300 hertz so
320 hertz triggers we have our vented cooling fan for the trinity cooling
system volume up and down as well as the power
sleep wake button and then again another trigger so you've
got your double triggers here on the bottom we've got a speaker our
usbc port then we also have a microphone along
with a sim card tray let's pop that out so we'll pop out the sim card tray here
and this should be a dual sim so depending where you live
you can put in two sim cards no expandable storage like i said before
so it does have a little ring around it to keep it a little water protected
and then on the other side we have pogo pins for accessories
another vent and microphone it looks like as well as our gaming switch which
is really nice to have on these phones and
then on the top we've got another microphone
along with a headphone jack or 3.5 millimeter headphone jack
on the back we have our cameras and we'll talk more about that in a moment
now let's go over the specs and then we'll take a look at it now this is the
sonic silver color like i said and internally the 128 gigs of storage
that it has is actually ufs 3.1 storage so it should be super fast internally it
has the qualcomm snapdragon 865 5g chipset with an adreno 650 gpu
now on the front it has gorilla glass and it feels like glass on the back as
well they don't specify which type of gorilla
glass the display is a 6.65 inch esport amoled display
it's 1080 by 2340 and has 387.5 pixels per inch
it supports dci p3 color gamut so it's got very vibrant colors or hdr basically
and 600 nits of brightness so it's not the
brightest phone out there but it should go plenty bright
it has an in-display fingerprint sensor along with what they're calling
trinity cooling that gives you 30 000 hours of
high speed cooling at 15 000 rpms as far as the fan internally on the back we
have three cameras we have a sony sensored 64 megapixel f 1.8 aperture
along with an 8 megapixel ultra wide and a 2 megapixel macro camera
it can record up to 8k if you're in bright sunlight i wouldn't recommend
that normally normally you can use 4k 60. on the front we have an 8 megapixel
camera with an f 2.0 aperture and then we also have stereo speakers
and i may have mentioned that before but we have a speaker on the bottom and then
at the top with your earpiece now the battery is a 4500 milliamp hour battery
with 55 watt fast charging which should give you about 56 percent of your charge
in 15 minutes and a hundred percent in 40 minutes
that's at least the advertised speed so that's pretty impressive
and then internally this has wi-fi 802.11 a b
g n a c and a x or wi-fi six along with bluetooth 5.1 a2dp
aptx le so it's pretty packed as far as specs
now the operating system is android 10.0 running red magic 3.0
so let's go ahead and turn it on and see what we've got and set it up
so you'll see it says powered by android like you would expect of course
we'll wait for it to boot up and one thing i forgot to mention is it does
have a pre-installed screen protector i'm not sure if you can see that but it
is there so we'll go ahead and hit more you have
to go through all of their policies once you've read everything go ahead and
sit hit i've read the policy or you can't continue
and now we can set up android so we'll just go through this quickly
now as i'm setting it up you can see in the upper left it says 90 hertz so it's
already running at 90 hertz it's great to see games at 144 hertz on
these displays using them in the past it's it's hard to
beat when gaming so we'll wait for it to check for an
update i'm not going to copy anything now i just want to get to the home
screen so i can do all of that later
i'll skip this for now can sign in later like i said
and we'll wait for it set up a pin
and then we'll set up the fingerprint sensor so it has an under the screen
fingerprint sensor and you can see the screen gets lighter so this is using a
camera to do the fingerprint as opposed to a sonic sensor like
samsung has or something else now we're at the home screen before we
go into the software just wanted to give you a quick size comparison here's a
oneplus nord next to it so that gives you a size idea
and then also a pixel 4 xl so if you want to see the size and you're familiar
with either of these devices it gives you a general idea of its overall size
it's a pretty thin phone given its size so it looks pretty good let's go ahead
and take a look at the software and see what it's like
so here's the main home page and it's got always on display
so you've got different options for that which is nice and
let's see what we've got in the app drawer not a whole lot of bloatware or
anything like that which is nice and let's take a look at the operating
system we'll see what it says here so we'll go down to about phone and here
you can see the variant is 128 gigabytes eight gigs of ram and the snapdragon 865
plus so we'll go back here see if there's any
system updates and we're on the latest version and i'm
used to gestures so you'll see me swiping there you can turn on gestures
as well and then also you can see it's android
10 running on the june update so it's fairly recent
it's not the latest august update or so but it's fairly
recent given the time of this phone so it gets regular updates we should see
this updated again now the launcher is pretty
familiar it's got the google now launcher basically or what looks like
the pixel launcher and it's very similar with sort of its
own squared off icon so that parts really nice
we also have the always on display like i mentioned and then my favorite thing
about these phones is the game mode so if we switch that on
we immediately go into their gaming mode or their game space
and i really like this on the phone because it has a lot of options so we'll
hit start and what i'll need to do is actually
well we'll just go through the tutorial where
it shows all the different things but i need to install some games
so here it shows you the actual cpu speed
pull that back in the gpu speed the network speed and here you can control
the fan as well and the refresh rate and if you want to
bump the refresh rate to 144 hertz 60 hertz 90 hertz so you need to save
some battery you can do that so the fan is on like i said i turned it
off and now you can't hear it turn it back on
and it's on you also have 40 shock you can block calls block messages
i really like the way you do this and if you just want to get out of this
turn it off and you go back to normal turn it back on
and then you're back in so it's really nice that it has that option
let me go ahead and add a few games and then we'll continue now i've installed a
couple games and so i wanted to show you what this is like to use because this is
its best feature we'll flip on game space here
it will load and the cooling fan is currently turned on now now you could
turn this off or on and it's not terribly loud it will ramp
up speed as it needs to cool the processor so take a listen
to this
and in general it's just not that loud so if we swipe over game space here
we can adjust things like 40 shock and see all of our other settings as well so
now let's go over into asphalt 9 just so i can show you what the frame
rate looks like now you're not going to be able to see
everything because this is running at 144 hertz
as opposed to 60 frames per second but i just installed this game
on this device and this will show you how smooth it is
so it's super fast super nice and let's go back to the game space here
and take a look at call of duty now i played this quite a bit and this is
where this device really shines so we'll go ahead and start a game here
and you have assignable trigger buttons so on the top you can just assign these
to whatever you want we'll wait for this to load so i can
show you how smooth it is and what you can do now i'm not signed
in with my normal account but we can move this around
and then if i hit the left trigger i can aim and then the right one
you'll see here so you can assign those just by tapping on shoulder triggers and
then moving right or left over whatever you want it
to do so if you want it to crouch you can do that
or reload those sort of things it's super simple
and easy to assign and then look how smooth this is it's incredible how
smooth this game is so just playing this at full
resolution at 144 hertz is super nice and just moving around just everything
looks incredible on this phone and it does get a little bit warm so as
soon as you switch off the game space it will try and window it
if it can otherwise you just swipe in from the
side let's turn this back on swipe in from the side go back to game
space and it's a little finicky to get out of it
but now we're back and so using it is super nice again
back in and we're back to our game space so this is the best thing about this
and again if we swipe in we can see all of our settings it even showed the ping
time i'm not sure if you saw that but in the upper right here
playing this game it's showing our ping time so it's super nice that we have all
of these features built in so we'll go back and take a look at the
cameras so for gaming this is top notch you can get additional
accessories that will cool it even further
but the back is getting a little bit warm it's not horrible it's not super
hot but it is getting warm since it's really pushing that cpu and gpu
so it's not a problem but it's definitely something to note
and this is glass on the back and metal on the side so it feels like it's using
it to dissipate that heat so it's pretty good that way so if we go
into the camera we'll wait for it to load here it's the first time i've gone
in but let's take a look at the settings
because we have hdr auto we'll go into the settings and
you've got face detection you've got the grid i usually like to use that
and then that's it here let's go back and let's go into video
and take a look at those settings so video resolution
you'll see ultra 8k recommended for outdoor use
we'll use 4k 60 and in the past these cameras have been okay
so let me put the oneplus nord here we'll hit the
record button and now you can hear me through the the red magic 5s
and hopefully it's okay the autofocus doesn't seem to be
incredible as i bring it in and out you'll see it's okay
it's kind of got some weird issues with auto focusing but in general
it's a decent camera and i think anyone buying this for what its intended
purposes gaming isn't going to care about that as
much so with the photos the photos are decent but if you want to
take a macro photo for example we'll go into camera family and you'll
see we have all of these different options
and so we'll just go to macro and see how close we can get so we've got a
little lens here that shows us how we're
focused see what we've got maybe right there the red is showing us
that we're focused with focus peaking and that's what the photo looks like so
this isn't made to be a camera phone it's okay it's
decent but it's not like what you would get with say a pixel
for example or maybe the latest samsung flagship however when it comes
to gaming it's really hard to beat for the price now when you're gaming of
course you want decent speakers so let's take a listen to those
so we'll go into youtube and here is my note 20
ultra unboxing so let's go ahead and turn this
we'll hit play turn the display and your options in here
are up to 1080p which makes sense based off the display so you can see 1080p
60 there and let me turn the speakers up with an f 2.2 aperture and 13 millimeter
ultra wide lens and then in the middle we have the
main 108 megapixel wide angle camera that's got an f 1.8 aperture with a 26
millimeter so as you can hear the speakers are
decent at the very highest volume they kind of get
very muddy and hard to hear but when you back it off like i did a little bit they
clear right up so i wouldn't use them at full volume and of course you have that
headphone jack unlike so many other phones these days so it's nice to have
that option as well now as far as the software i like how
clean it is it's very simple and running at 144 hertz is just
incredible of course you can you can slow that down just having
minimal apps installed just to get the gaming phone side of it
right really makes sense so i i really like the way they've done this
operating system it's super simple and if you want to use it for gaming it's
hard to beat it especially with these triggers on top so overall i really like
the hardware it actually feels pretty good in the hands it's solid
and it feels high quality so along with this nice glass back you have that
option you don't get the wireless charging that
you might see in some other phones but everything else is top-notch especially
the game space i really like what they've done there but let me know what
you think in the comments below now if you'd like to get your hands on
this wallpaper i'll link it in the description like i normally do
and it's their stock nubia wallpaper and if you haven't subscribed already please
