ZTE nubia Red Magic Mars - User Reviews

  • which one you prefer ? equal price, sd845 Iqoo Neo Red magic mars

  • is google play service support by default or is not & a way to install it

  • it's default, not an option. dont worry

  • Yes

  • otg supported?

  • Whats its price?

  • does the setting and most of the software is stock android ? bescouse i have mi a1 and nokia 7 the both are android one stock and the both have wifi issues like always disconnecting from current wifi.when u open the wifi at first 5 seconds its connected but no internet then it connects and download speed is very very slow than other phones i noticed that is common issue in android one phones

  • Go with chinese has more features

  • It phone has poor support. The global rom is mediocre and it isn't complete. The China rom has more setting options, gestures etc etc but the patch of security still is on December 28 global rom like China rom. The support is less than poor and now them want launch red magic mars 3 for me this company is dead. The first and last time that I buy a nubia phone.

  • i have the red magic mars..it can play game non stop and doest over heat like oneplus 6 and blackshark..its just a little bit warm but if you play too long.. the battery,i can give 9 over 10..i can play a pubg at hight graphic,hight performance,highest brightness for 47 min and its just drop 3-4 %..so its good. the fingerprint and faceunlock are insanely fast...but the faceunlock insane fast but its need enough light...

  • There are plenty of screen protectors, cases on eBay for the global version. If you're upset about the camera, download the Google night sight apk that's not in the play store. I used the Poc 1 camera apk. It works great. Camera now hold up with the best of them. There's a second speaker at the top, but it's quiet. Sounds is still good though. Not as good as some of LG's phones though. Worth the money. It's potentially not as good as the Mi 9, but there's drawbacks to that phone, same as this one. The benchmarks for the red magic are still second only to the S10 at this point of submitting this. This phone is as good as it gets for this price. Go ahead and get it

  • I don't game for hours at a time so I can't comment. I can say under heavy load over time the cooling system seems to work. It does have Google play. I have the USA model and I know that the software can vary by region. I would think unless you are in China or buy the model with the Chinese ROM you should be okay. Performance is very good. I have a Samsung Galaxy S10+ and performance is on par. Obviously the biggest drawback is the LCD panel. It is good but Super Amoled is so much better. One drawback is a lack of cases and third party screen protectors. I bought a case from Red Magic and it was for the previous version and rather flimsy. ZTE is notorious for bad software support so that is anyone guess. However, despite any drawbacks I still think it is a great value and I enjoy using the phone.

  • I bought the red magic mars 3 weeks ago. It absolutely does have stereo speakers. The second speaker is the earpiece. They sound great. Better than any phone I've heard. Including the latest iPhone. Stop spreading lies

  • Absolutely not! I'm not a photographer but obviously take pictures. I find the camera app second to none. The actual camera is pretty decent too. I really don't think the average person will have any issues. Hell the average photographer. If you want 5+ cameras buy a huawei p20 or a Nokia whatever

  • The camera software is amazing! The best I've seen. Completely professional. Tons of options. White balance, shutter speed, plus a ton of other options I don't completely understand because I'm not a photographer. If I ever purchase another non nubia device. I'll go to the ends of the earth to install this camera app

  • Solid review. I pre-ordered and received the skin with the headphones. There isn't another phone on the market I would rather own. If anyone is thinking about buying this device.. Stop thinking and do it! Supplies are limited. I promise you won't regret it

  • I guess ZTE's intention was to make this device also Verizon compatible. So, they just missed the LTE band 13?

  • That comment made absolutely no sense. Please phrase it properly

  • There's only 1 problem with this phone. The camera on both front n rear are too poor. At least double camera with ois on rear n better aperture on front.

  • hi bro..do you have red magic mars right? i like that coz the design really nice and the price really good but i want know something bout that can you help me? your device already have google playstore or not?how about perfomance gaming?really good and smooth?when playing games for 2@3 hours non stop that device really hot and have lagging or not?i want buy too but i want honest review bout that..thanks

  • I can decrypt his comment, guys: He says, that the software isn't Chinese, due to the fact that it is based on Linux OS (and is a virtual machine), which was initially created by Norwegian Linus Torwalds. This technology is nowadays used by Chinese manufacturers for free, but it wasn't created in China. As for this phone, how's the camera software? Is this phone worth buying? I'm a fan of the unusual design.

  • ZTE has made a solid effort with this phone. Why would they include the 855 when 845 will be cheaper and still very powerful? This is after all a lower cost gaming phone. It does have stereo speakers, the bottom firing and the ear piece speaker produce sound. Sound reproduction is not bad considering. The SAR rating is low but reception is good. Mint Sim. The screen is really nice. LCD but one of the best I have seen. Seems very color accurate. For an LCD panel it is impressive. Has fast internal storage and ddr4 ram. My unit has 8/128. I find the camera to be rather decent. It may be a single sensor but seems to do well in low light. The OS is super close to stock. This is great! Running Android 9 out of the box on December security patch. Would like to see an update to February 5th. Battery life is good so far. Build quality is very good. RGB strip is rather cool. Not a fan of things that run the battery down but I have to admit I actually like it. Just got it so not sure about gaming but initial impressions are good. The animations and transitions seem a bit slow considering the hardware. Pre order came with dbrand skin, earphones and fast charger. I will report back and edit after some gaming. Overall for the price I think there is a lot of value here.

  • Nubia red magic mars now sales in Malaysia. I am use this phone. This phone is good but not has a stereo speakers. The speaker only bottom and not stereo. This not perfect and not fun.

  • Nubia failed to provide a support to the previous version as the major issue of multi-touch still not resolved. Also, we support them by buying a test version and provide them with all errors for them to issue a firmware that solve them. Error list provided but no solve plan or firmware was provided from Nubia. Red magic Hardware is brilliant but software is a nightmare.

  • does this phone have a global version, because i keep checking on aliexpress and it's only the chinese version that's being sold!!!!!??????????

  • A very nice phone for a very nice price I hope it will be available in Philippines.

  • I stand with the pusher... No stereo speakers.....fail No 90-120 hz screen....fail If you do have a low refresh rate screen why isn't it OLED. Happy that it can be bought in the US but aside from that--->>>>>FAIL

  • nailed it.......bro!!!!!

  • Can anyone decrypt this comment? -,-

  • no 120Hz screen and stereo speakers, no gaming phone.

  • My answer was ironic like the question of that dude! Chill out, mate! lol

  • Of course, only thing CPU and GPU to do is mastrubating arround while looking each other. WTF...

  • With 10gb RAM? You can play Fortnite, PUBG and Garena Free Fire... ALL AT SAME TIME! lol

  • can you play fortnite on it

  • you need to learn more too, bro :)

  • A very nice phone for a very nice price i hope it will be available in INDONESIA

  • Hahahaha! So true!

  • What the hell? Who are naming these phones? :D

  • A very nice phone for a very nice price i hope it will be available in Slovakia.

  • What are you talking about ? We cant Understand if what are you trying to say bro. Haha try first to double check your Spelling then on how you put it correctly. We are here to get knowledge or to know more about this Device so don't put a Comment that we cannot Understand. Ok ? Time ..

  • Maybe they want you to used Bluetooth Speaker. Lol

  • china? android is linux an vm, linux is make for linux torvalts from is noruega and is softwere free china only explot your people for sold cell phones but the thecnology not is the china

  • I'm also interested in whether this will support NFC

  • if u realize this come out from china so they will much focus on china mobile game(pubg and wangzhe like moba legend)

  • Really, really nice value for the money here...

  • if no china lock i will buy one.

  • NFC? OIS in main camera? Lenght of OS support? Nice phone, but so much questions...

  • no notch ? take my money !

  • If they put OLED, Stereo Speakers and Expandable storage, I will consider this on my list.

  • Great phone overall but sadly all the gaming phone companies need to realize to sell this type of phone you need some game exclusives like nvidia did or greater optimization in latest titles like asphalt 9 60fps etc.Just adding some flashy light ain't gonna make it sell a lot.

  • US consumers can use it Lte band 2, 4, 12 and 66 are all tmobile bands. What I don't understand is how do you make a gaming phone without stereo speakers?

  • soma body tooka my spaget!!!

  • Is it Ok If I play free games on this phone like Temple Run or NFS No Limits? Or I'm bound to play paid games only because I have an Expensive phone? Any comments?

  • too bad the US consumers can't enjoy it and I think it's too early to release this phone, when you can delay it so you can use SD855 on it

  • nubia x now this? zte on fire🔥

  • And only 420 EUR for such a beast phone. This is gonna be my new dream phone for sure.

  • Ayy it has a headphone jack! Finally a TRUE gaming phone!

  • USB v2.0 one side and USB type-C v1.0 one side on USB to USB type-C cables!! Overall, the phone is another black shark and it doesn’t support USB v3.1 or v3.0 (perhaps!! Actually)

  • Is it usb 2.0 or 3.1, Type-C 1.0 ?

  • no such thing as attracx or not, doesn't matter

  • wow not bad for a gamer. i wonder whats the price and when it release here in the phillipines?

  • Wish it has better camera

  • It seems a promising phone and an attractive price, and waiting for more news. I hope it will be a pleasant surprise for the end of this year
