Nubia Red Magic Mars Brings 10GB RAM, Air Triggers and Liquid Cooling

There’s a lot of hype around gaming smartphones these days, but few gaming-centric phones match up to the Asus ROG Phone, which pushes the envelope in this category with its slew of accessories.

But one of the first phones to kick-off the gaming smartphone craze has now got a successor. Nubia has announced the Red Magic Mars, which is the follow-up to the original, which we reviewed earlier this year.

Nubia Red Magic Mars Specifications

The Nubia Red Magic Mars hopes to one-up the rest of the competition with a massive 10GB RAM, but is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, which will be soon replaced by the Snapdragon 8150 after its announcement next week.

The phone features liquid and air cooling, which is increasingly being seen even in non-gaming smartphones – the Poco F1 being a prime example. The cooling solution is said to increase CPU performance by up to 70 percent thanks to the heat dissipation, which reduces internal temperatures by up to 13.2 degrees, according to Nubia.

Another feature that sets it apart is the supposed 4D gaming experience, which is enabled thanks to the haptic feedback support for some specific games in the Play Store. The phone also comes with two touch-sensitive shoulder buttons, which are similar to the air triggers in the Asus ROG Phone.

In terms of audio, there is a DTS 7.1 channel along with 3D surround sound, which should help in games where locating enemies based on sound is key. And this is a gaming phone, so you get RGB LEDs on the back, just like the original Red Magic.

Nubia has also announced a joy-stick accessory, which snaps to the side of the phone and gives users easier controls on some games.

Nubia has not focused too much on making top-notch cameras here. There’s a single 16-megapixel rear camera with f/1.8 aperture and phase detection autofocus (PDAF). At the front, the smartphone has an 8-megapixel selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture.

One of the highlights of the phone is that it runs Android 9.0 Pie, but there’s a Red Magic OS 1.6 on top. There’s a a 6-inch full HD+ display with 1080×2160 pixels resolution (18:9 aspect ratio), and you can also opt for the lower-end 6GB or 8GB variants, if the 10GB RAM version seems like overkill to you. Along with three RAM variants, you get storage options of 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB. Finally, it has a 3,800mAh battery with fast charging support.

Nubia Red Magic Mars Price and Availability

In China, the smartphone is priced at CNY 2,699 (which comes up to around Rs. 27,000 when converted). That sounds a bit steep considering it is only for the base model with 6GB RAM and a paltry 64GB of storage. The ideal option would be the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant, priced at 3,199 yuan or around roughly Rs. 32,000, while the variant with 10GB RAM and 256GB storage will cost you around 3,999 yuan (around Rs. 40,000 after conversion).

You can only buy the Nubia Red Magic Mars in China right now; it’s available on pre-order on JD.com and will go on sale from December 7.

Twitter Wants to Build an ‘Open and Decentralized’ Social Media Platform

In an attempt to create a Facebook competitor, which everyone flocks to, Twitter became increasingly centralized over the years. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey believes that’s the case and has now tweeted a lengthy plan to fund research to build an open and decentralized standard for social media platforms. It will “ultimately become a standard” that Twitter’s client will be based upon. Dubbed Bluesky, this project will see a team of up to five researchers , which could include open-source architects, engineers, and designers, being on-boarded in the near future. Currently, Bluesky has no team members but Dorsey tweeted that Twitter’s CTO Parag Agrawal has been tasked with finding a lead. The folks over at Firefox have already extended a helping hand, saying how the non-profit has contributed to decentralization. Enough jibber-jabber, but what exactly is Bluesky? And what does it intend to achieve? Dorsey, in his tweetstorm , states that the challenges being faced by centralized social

Mysterious Drones Spotted in Colorado and Nebraska; Sources Unknown

A group of drones was reportedly been spotted in the sky at night last week in Colorado and Nebraska that made the residents anxious and worried. The police officials in charge have no idea regarding where these drones are from. “They’ve been doing a grid search, a grid pattern. They fly one square and then they fly another square,”  Colorado’s Phillips County Sheriff Thomas Elliot told the Denver Post. The drones have an approximate six-foot wingspan and stay 200 to 300 feet away from buildings. At least 17 drones have been spotted till now. They appear at around 7 PM at night and disappear at around 10 PM . Until now, the drones have not been caught doing any illegal or unofficial activities.  “They do not seem to be malicious. They don’t seem to be doing anything that would indicate criminal activity,” Sheriff Elliott added. The Federal Aviation Agency, the Air Force, Drug Enforcement Administration, and US Army Forces Command confirmed that the drones did not belong to them.
