The first phone with a fan wants to blow gamers away
Super-sized 90Hz OLED screen is great for gaming ; Hard to find a faster phone for the money ; Fantastic battery life, both in games and in general use
Not significantly faster than other Snapdragon 855 phones ; Localised software has a few rough edges ; Loses out on features in the focus on gaming
A proper performance bargain, if not quite as powerful as a dedicated cooling fan might suggest. Still, the Red Magic 3 should tick all the right boxes for mobile gamers

We've covered many smartphone vendors here at AnandTech over the years, but one vendor we never had the chance to have a look at is ZTE, or more precisely, its associate company Nubia. I've encountered the vendor's products at trade shows over the...
Overall, I think the best features of the Red Magic 3 remains its 90Hz screen as well as its very large battery capacity. Its performance is also among the best S855 out there. While it’s lacking some other high-end flagship features, particularly in...
