After releasing one of its most ambitious smartphones for 2020, the Nubia Red Magic 5G, the company is now ready to announce a new device for the mid-range market dubbed Nubia Play 5G. As the name implies, it also comes as a gaming handset, although it’s not so powerful as the flagship offering. The new handset will be revealed on Tuesday, April 21. Today, the company shared new interesting details about the handset. According to them, the handset will come with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. Although it is a mid-range device, it’s a very ambitious one.
Interestingly enough, we can also spot the display’s design of the handset. Instead of fancy solutions like notches and punch-holes, the company will stick with a traditional approach made of symmetrical top and bottom bezels. However, they’re quite slim, making this an acceptable design for 2020. Under the hood, the handset will boast Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G. This chipset comes with an integrated modem for 5G.
