In February 2018, Nubia exhibited the concept model with built-in fan for the first time at the World Mobile Communication Conference, which once shocked the industry. At that time, the industry did not even have a clear concept of "game phones", and Nubia not only took the lead in seeing the huge market demand for game phones, but also took the lead in taking the basic design direction of game phones and establishing professional and event level equipment.
Because of its high starting point and deeper understanding of the needs of players, the Nubian Red Devil series game phones have quickly become the highly respected "divine equipment" among mobile game players since their launch in 2018. Its innovative designs, such as air cooling, precise control, and game shoulder keys, not only promote the experience innovation of this category, but also remain the "standard" in this field even today.
Obviously, Red Devil has proved its strength as a leading brand of game phones in the past three years. But just like this, further breakthroughs and evolution will become more difficult and valuable. Fortunately, on the evening of March 12, 2020, Nubia released its epoch-making 5G flagship game mobile phone product among the expectations of the outside world. This is the Red Devil 5G.
144Hz super competitive screen, leading the 5G mobile game era
As we all know, the biggest experience change for smart phones in the 5G era is "fast": fast networking, fast downloading of games, and the loading speed of each game will naturally be faster. So how can we better reflect the "fast" of the 5G era and bring more extreme 5G gaming experience to players? The answer given by Red Devil 5G is of course a high refresh rate, high-quality screen, not 90Hz, not 120Hz, but the highest 6.65 inch 144Hz "super competitive screen" in the industry!
Why does Nubia choose a 144Hz screen? First of all, 144Hz is the latest and highest standard of screen refresh rate in the current smart phone field. As a mobile game product that always insists on bringing the best experience to players, Red Devil 5G will naturally do its best without compromise; Secondly, compared with 60Hz, 90Hz and 120Hz screens, the display fluency of 144Hz Super Racing screen is 142%, 61% and 20% faster respectively, which means that the Red Devil 5G screen can give players the fastest and smoothest game experience so far.
Of course, to be the first to implement 144Hz display on a 5G game phone, the workload behind it is not just "using one screen". Engineers in Nubia not only carried out a lot of application and game adaptation tests for this purpose, but also specially developed the Touch Choreographer game interpolation algorithm to ensure that the smooth picture with the highest frame rate can be stably maintained even in the fierce scene transformation, which not only meets the strict visual needs of players, At the same time, it has laid a solid foundation for precise control in the extreme E-sports environment.
Because of this, Red Devil 5G reached full frames in three different game scenes of 60 frames, 90 frames and 144 frames in the test of GameBench, a professional game performance evaluation organization. Especially in the 144 frame game test, the measured frame rate fluctuation level of Red Devil 5G was only ± 0.37fps, and it won the "Ultra" certification representing the highest level with excellent results. At the same time, a large number of mainstream apps, as well as a number of masterpieces from Tencent, Mihayou and NetEase, have also adapted the Red Devil 5G 144Hz super competitive screen in advance, which undoubtedly shows the strong attraction of 144Hz refresh rate for the next generation of top e-sports mobile games.
Top performance requires top heat dissipation, and wind is really strong
As the most extreme game mobile phone in the 5G era so far, Red Devil 5G naturally chose a comprehensive "top configuration" hardware combination. The whole system is equipped with Snapdragon 865 5G chip scheme, LPDDR5 memory, UFS3.0 flash memory, and WiFi6 wireless module. In addition, Nubia and Qualcomm also jointly modulate the GPU of Snapdragon 865, giving full play to the powerful performance of Adreno 650 and laying a solid foundation for 144Hz gaming experience.
In addition, the Red Devil 5G has also become the first domestic 5G flagship model equipped with 16GB large capacity LPDDR5 memory. With the dual-mode 5G features supported by the whole system, it is ready for 5G mobile games or cloud games with higher image quality and more extreme sensory enjoyment in the future. The Magic Write flash memory performance optimization technology, patented by Nubia, is also launched on the Red Devil 5G this time. It allows developers to immediately use safe and continuous performance improvement without special modification, and it can also ensure that the Red Devil 5G game phone is smooth and not stuck after long-term heavy use. Because of these powerful performance blessings, Red Devil 5G has scored 639856 and 575341 points respectively in Anthare and Master Lu's comprehensive evaluation software this time, which fully demonstrates its ultimate performance strength.
But old players familiar with Nubia Red Devil know that since the early generation of the Red Devil game phones in 2018, they have always emphasized that "stable and lasting performance is the real game performance". Because of this, the Red Devil 5G is not only equipped with the current top hardware configuration, but also brings the "ICE 3.0 three-dimensional multi-dimensional cooling system" composed of the L-shaped liquid cooling pipe on the back of the main board, the large area thermal conductive gel on the front of the main board, the multi-layer graphite thermal conductive film, the large size thermal conductive copper foil, the built-in high-efficiency centrifugal fan and the new design air duct.
Compared with the previous generation Red Devil 3 series models, the heat dissipation system of the Red Devil 5G has two main improvements. First, the speed of the built-in high-efficiency centrifugal fan has been further increased to 15000 rpm, even exceeding the speed of the Boeing 747 engine; The second is to improve the air duct in the machine to a "north-south transparent" design, which greatly reduces the wind resistance and noise, and at the same time, increases the heat dissipation surface area of the air duct by 56%, which can cover more key heat sources.
Compared with the flagship products on the market, the biggest advantage of the Red Devil 5G is naturally the design of built-in active fan cooling. As the Red Devil 5G press conference said: "All heat conduction and no heat dissipation is hooliganism". After all, as long as there is no built-in fan, no matter how "stacking" is, in essence, the heat is ultimately transmitted to the surface of the phone, and then can be "cooled" by natural radiation, external heavy fans, or even users' hands. This will inevitably lead to the destruction of the appearance, feel and holding comfort of the mobile phone.
Only the Red Devil 5G, with its original liquid cooling+air cooling cooling structure, can actively discharge the heat before it is transferred to the surface of the phone. It can not only ensure the stable performance during the long game, but also realize the active air-cooled cooling design of the battery and related circuits during the charging process of the mobile phone for the first time. With the 55W fast charging scheme supporting the PD3.0 PPS protocol, 56% of the power can be charged in 15 minutes, and 100% in 40 minutes. The battery temperature is lower, and the life and safety are naturally improved.
Red Devil 5G, an e-sports host in mobile phones, brings all-round professional experience
The fastest screen refresh rate so far, uncompromising top hardware, and the original built-in air-cooled cooling - if the Nubia Red Devil 5G is not a professional game phone, then this configuration has long been the flagship of today's top performance. But just because Nubia knows that real game players need more professional experience in details, in addition to the top performance, Red Devil 5G has brought more innovative functions aimed at further improving the game experience and reducing the threshold of professional e-sports.
In terms of the game control experience that players attach great importance to, Nubia, as the first brand to propose that game phones should pay attention to touch performance and adopt shoulder key design, not only provided the Red Devil 5G with a screen touch reporting rate of up to 240Hz, but also exclusively adopted the world's only dual touch IC shoulder key solution. By equipping each shoulder key with a separate control chip, the touch reporting rate of up to 300Hz and the 3.3 millisecond extreme shoulder key response without interference are achieved. It has reached the highest level in the industry in terms of key life, key delay performance, and reliability in games.
In terms of audio, which has a great impact on the game atmosphere, Nubia has insisted on using stereo speakers and retaining 3.5mm headphone interface for many years. It also cooperated with DTS, the industry's top audio solution provider, on the Red Devil 5G, and realized the landing of DTS-HD multi-channel audio hardware decoder and professional DTS: X Ultra certified audio effects on game phones. In addition, the specially designed position of the game specific 3Mic can ensure that no matter what posture the player holds, it can bring a clear noise reduction voice communication experience.
In terms of professional game auxiliary functions, the Red Devil 5G will certainly not disappoint players this time. Move the competitive key of the Red Devil sign, and a new upgraded game space will be opened. This time, it can not only manage games in the most cool way, but also provide multiple game experience enhancements including performance, display effects, and sound effects. Players can even choose different enhancement effects according to different game types to gain greater game advantages. Based on the pain point of users' changing from small screen to large screen, Nubia has carried out in-depth optimization with its partner Lebo, which can match the projection effect of iOS devices in terms of delay and image quality. It also supports projection of photos, videos, games and other applications to achieve living room entertainment with a broader perspective, more intuitive experience and clearer details.
It is not only the top game equipment, but also an excellent flagship mobile phone
Of course, an excellent game phone must first be a good enough phone. This requires Red Devil 5G not only to "kill the world" in the game use scene, but also to provide top daily use experience. For this reason, Nubian engineers have also made a lot of efforts. First of all, they rebuilt the body design of the Red Devil 5G. The aerospace grade nano material body from the wind tunnel simulation laboratory not only feels warm and smooth, but also has a high thermal conductivity on its surface, which helps to quickly dissipate the heat from the palm of the hand, reduce the chance of sweating in daily use and games, thus greatly improving the grip comfort.
Secondly, the acclaimed Nubia RedMagic OS has been upgraded to a new version of Cyber on the Red Devil 5G. New visual elements with Cyberpunk style and substantially enhanced underlying code enable the Red Devil 5G not only to provide the best performance in the game, but also to be smooth in daily use.
Finally, as the technology research and development direction that Nubia brand has always adhered to since its inception, professional imaging system has certainly become an important part of Red Devil 5G this time. The Sony IMX686 main camera with 64 million pixels, and the zoom three camera system with ultra wide angle and ultra macro capabilities make the Red Devil 5G stand out in terms of camera materials. The new Cyberpunk filter, the video anti shake function for 5G, and the interesting "wave walking" special effect video shooting function also make Red Devil 5G more fashionable and social in addition to the game. Not to mention Nubia's traditional strength, the NEOVISION camera family with rich and colorful functions, whether it is light painting, star orbit, electronic aperture, or 8K camera, as long as you have one machine in hand, you are the focus of the whole audience.
Led the progress of the mobile game industry again, Red Devil 5G "faster"
From the earliest concept of built-in air-cooled game phone to the earliest shoulder key of game phone, from the first company to solve the problem of built-in active cooling design, to the first company to actually install 144Hz super competitive screen. Over the years, Nubia has been relying on continuous technological innovation to bring mobile game players a more professional and intimate game experience, leading the development direction of the entire mobile game field, and more vigorously promoting the standardization and specialization of mobile game e-sports.
While releasing the Red Devil 5G game mobile phone today, Nubia has also confirmed that it is currently conducting 144Hz high frame rate joint debugging with popular games such as Urban Alpha, Peak Battleship, Peak Tank, and Running Kart. At the same time, nearly 100 games, including Collapse 3 and Vanity, have supported high frame operation. At the same time, Nubia is also the first to open the debugging application for 144Hz frame rate applications, so as to encourage more developers to join the 144Hz camp and jointly benefit users.
In addition, in order to further demonstrate the "endless competition" attitude of Nubia Red Devil game mobile phones, and also to provide more unique product experience for players who like the style of geeks, Red Devil 5G will bring a transparent version of Deuteron, which is very sci-fi, in addition to the three color matching versions of Cyberpunk, namely Cyberneon, Hacker Black and Mars Red, Through the ingenious design of the internal structure, the 15000 turn built-in fan, fine airframe air duct, and breakthrough charging and cooling design are presented to the players.
In terms of price and configuration, Red Devil 5G is very rich, and the world's first mass production 16GB large storage. The key is that all configurations are standard configuration of the whole system, never shrink, and are relatively honest. The price of the Hacker Black, Mars Red and Cyber Neon 8GB+128GB configurations of the Nubian Red Devil 5G game mobile phone is only 3799 yuan, the price of the 12GB+128GB configuration is only 4099 yuan, the price of the 12GB+256GB high configuration is 4399 yuan, and the price of the 16GB+256GB top configuration is 4999 yuan! The deuterium front transparent version, you can see the fan rotating, the price of 12GB+256GB high configuration is 4599 yuan, and the price of 16GB+256GB top configuration is 5199 yuan! The only difference between the versions is the color and capacity, which is very sincere. At present, the flagship of this new e-sports game will be launched at the official website of Nubia, the flagship store of JD in Nubia and China Unicom on the evening of March 12, and the first sale will be launched at 10:00 on March 19 through the above channels.
