He took to Weibo to mention that the company's 5G ready gaming smartphone will sport “super fast charging and large capacity batteries”. He further explained that fast charging a smartphone causes the device temperature to rise rapidly which causes battery protection and temperature rise monitoring mechanisms to kick in an reduce the charging current. In order to tackle this problem, he mentions that the Nubia research and development team has come up with a unique built-in fan to create an “air-cooled fast charging solution”

Ni Fei further explains that the fan will be used to cool the battery down while charging it rapidly. Another teaser from Ni Fei himself reveals that the phone could have up to 16GB LPDDR5 RAM. In addition to the fast charging details and the “air-cooled fast charging solution” Ni Fei also shared a camera sample from the smartphone which shows very good details. Rumours point out that the primary sensor on the Red Magic 5G is the 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 sensor. The Red Magic 5G is said to have two more sensors but its details are unknown at the moment.
