The phone possesses the hardware power from Qualcomm's most advanced processor, Snapdragon 865+, combined with up to 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal memory. 4,500mAh is the capacity of the Red Magic 5S’ battery, which supports fast 55W wired charging via USB Type-C port. Being a gaming smartphone, the device is integrated with a cooling system with many improvements, including a silver-plated heatsink called ICE Ag and a cooling fan with a maximum speed of up to 15,000 rpm.

One of the other worthwhile upgrades is GPU Boost, which, according to Nubia, will allow the Red Magic 5S to handle games smoothly, without any lag during the game sessions. However, to use GPU Boost, users need to buy a new cooling fan called Ice Wind Cool Box, which increases cooling efficiency by up to 56%.

Like the previous generation, the Red Magic 5S also has two touch keys on the side for assigning in-game functions. In addition, it also comes with a new multitasking feature, support for wireless projection with low latency, DTS X Ultra audio technology, and 3.5mm headphone jack.
