Red Magic 6
By Nubia
Positives

165Hz display
Top class performance
Built-in active cooling
Customizable gaming triggers
Affordable price

Negatives

Rough edges to the software
Can't change default launcher
Design won't appeal to all
Average camera
Uncertain update policy

Bottom Line

The Red Magic 6 builds on the gaming phone traditions of its predecessors and it does it all for less than $600. The Snapdragon 888 is great, plus you get a 165Hz display, active cooling, at least 12GB of RAM, and hardware shoulder buttons. But like its predecessors, the software could be improved and the update situation is hazy at best. If you can get past those large caveats and can live with a very average camera, then the Red Magic 6 could be the gaming phone for you.
