Gaming is clearly the focus here. The Snapdragon 865 5G and Adreno 650 GPU combo, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, gives this phone enough headroom for demanding titles at high settings. A 144Hz AMOLED screen keeps motion smooth, and the 300Hz pressure-sensitive touch zones are built for shoulder-trigger style controls in supported games. There's even a built-in cooling fan, something you rarely see outside gaming-focused phones.

Battery life gets a boost from the 4500mAh cell and 55W wired charging, which nubia says can take you from empty to 56% in just 15 minutes. Camera specs are modest for the price point: a 64MP main sensor leads a triple rear array, backed by an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens. Video tops out at 8K30fps if you want to push the main sensor further.

nubia RedMagic 5S price in Malaysia starts from RM2443, and it comes in Silver or Pulse colourways.
