“The Red Magic 3S is expected to have the same specs as the Red Magic 3, except for the processor”

nubia Red Magic 3S will reportedly be the company’s first smartphone to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ flagship chipset. The information is from the reliable gadget tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore, who has also shared a poster, but it seems to be for the Red Magic 3. It’s worth mentioning that soon after the introduction of the Snapdragon 855 Plus, many companies, including nubia, announced that they’ll release a device with this chipset.
