ZTE‘s sub-brand Nubia just unveiled the Red Magic smartphone aims for heavy-gaming users. The full body design is heavily-inspired by a battleship with LED strips at the back panel. To help in cooling the smartphone, there are three vents at the back also that act as the heat dispersion with the help of some graphite layers.
