The Nubia Red Magic 3 Review: A 90Hz Gaming Phone With Active Cooling

We’re not too sure what to expect of the RM3’s battery life. On one hand, we shouldn’t be expecting too much due o the screen’s 90Hz refresh rate, but on the other hand, the Red Magic 3 has a 5000mAh battery to compensate for any increased power draw by the panel.

Looking at the web browsing test results, it seems that the RM3 is indeed able to pretty much negate the screen’s higher power draw with the increased battery capacity. It ends up in line with above-average battery life and equal to some of the better phones in the market. It edges out the OnePlus 7 Pro, which also comes with a 90Hz screen (albeit 1440p) by an hour and 45 minutes.

In the PCMark test, the phone similarly does very well for itself. Albeit short of the best results, it’s again above average and pretty much compensates any negative aspect of the 90Hz mode.

The RM3’s 5000mAh battery is a definitive win for the phone as its battery life is excellent.
