The Nubia Red Magic Mars leads the AnTuTu ranking of the most powerful Android smartphones. It has 10GB of RAM and is designed specifically for gaming
The most powerful Android smartphone of 2018 is the Nubia Red Magic Mars. To decree it is the December ranking of AnTuTu, the famous benchmark platform where all phones are tested to see their performance. The Chinese smartphone manages to remove the first place to the Mate 20 Pro, which had won the first place since the day of release.
The results obtained by the Nubia Red Magic Mars testify to the excellent work done by the Chinese company. In fact, it is the only smartphone with the Snapdragon 845 processor on board to occupy one of the first six places in the ranking: from the second to the sixth position we find only smartphones produced by Hauwei or Honor with Kirin 980 on board (Huawei Mate 20, Honor View 20, Huawei Mate 20 X, Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Huawei Magic 2). Unfortunately, the Nubia Red Magic Mars is not available for Italian users: for the moment, the Chinese company has marketed it only in Asia and it's unlikely we'll see it arrive in Europe.

To "keep at bay" the power of the smartphone, Nubia has developed a dissipation system with double heat pipe and convection cooling called ICE (ice in English). The screen is 6 inches with an aspect ratio of 18:9 and FullHD+ resolution. The photographic compartment is not the highlight of the device: in the back we find a single 16 Megapixel sensor. 3800mAh battery.
If you haven't figured it out yet, the Nubia Red Magic Mars is a smartphone dedicated to video game lovers (the device is defined gaming phone). This is demonstrated by the presence of Mars Triggers, two sensitive areas of the screen that can be used as triggers in action games and online shooters, and the very unique design characterized by a band of RGB LEDs on the back and fully customizable.
