The Nubia Red Magic 6R has been announced, and unlike its siblings, it offers a much cleaner design.
With the Nubia Red Magic 6R, the brand has dropped the gaming aesthetics that the Red Magic 6 and 6 Pro has. It’s available in Gray and Purple/Black. But if you still want that edgy look, it comes in Dark Blue and a Black/Yellow color co-created with Tencent Games.

It may not have the looks, but the 6R is still a well-packed gaming smartphone. There’s the powerful Snapdragon 888 processor, a fast 144Hz AMOLED screen, and shoulder triggers.
To make it cheaper, the device has a smaller 4,200mAh battery compared to the standard Magic 6 models. Charging speed was also dropped to 55W for the China model, while the global variant will only get 30W.

The Red Magic 6R has a starting price of CNY2,999 (around Php22,500) and will be available for pre-order in China this June 1.
