Qualcomm SM8650-AC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4 nm)Chipset 12GB RAM, 256GB ROMRAM & Storage 50 MP, f/1.8, 26mm (wide)Rear Camera 10100 mAh batteryBattery

This is a tablet-sized device built around raw performance rather than camera versatility. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset pairs with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, giving it enough headroom for demanding apps and multitasking without slowdown. Its 10.9-inch IPS LCD panel runs at 144Hz with 1800 x 2880 resolution, which suits gaming and media more than one-handed use since the whole unit weighs 530g and measures 253.3mm tall.

Battery life is where this phone stands out. A 10100mAh cell with 80W wired charging (on the international model) means fewer top-ups during the day, even with that large, high-refresh screen running. The rear camera is a single 50MP wide sensor, so there's no telephoto or ultrawide here; this device prioritizes cooling and sustained performance over photography, evident in its built-in fan and aluminum frame. nubia RedMagic Nova price in Malaysia starts from RM3199.

It runs Android 14 with Redmagic OS 9.5, and comes in Cyclone, Snowfall, and Midnight colourways. There's no GPS or radio listed, and NFC doesn't support payments, worth checking if those matter for your daily use.
