Gaming phones from 2019 don't come much more dedicated than this. A Snapdragon 855+ chipset paired with up to 12GB RAM and UFS 3.0 storage gives it the horsepower for demanding titles, and the built-in cooling fan keeps things from throttling during long sessions. The 6.65-inch AMOLED panel runs at 90Hz, which was ahead of the curve for its time, and pressure sensitive zones on the frame work like shoulder triggers for games that support them.

A 5000mAh battery backs up all that hardware, with 18W QC4 charging to top it up. The 48MP main camera with PDAF handles daylight shots fine and can shoot up to 8K video, though camera performance was never really the point here. nubia RedMagic 3s price in Malaysia starts from RM2299, and it comes in Mecha Silver, Cyber Shade, or Eclipse Black.

The RGB light panel on the back and stereo speakers round out the gaming-first design, right down to the accessory connector for extra peripherals.
