This news was also confirmed on a teaser promo posted by the Nubia’s official India Twitter account. This gaming phone was already launched earlier in the year, but that was only in China. With its successor, the Red Magic Mars, was released in the Chinese market last month, it seems like Nubia is now trying to find a new gaming phone segment in the Indian market with the release of its Red Magic.
