It will be made available in China starting March 19, in Hacker Black, Mars Red, Cyber Neon and a limited edition Transparent colour options. The limited-edition Transparent colour option will only be made available for the 12GB RAM/256GB storage variant priced at Yuan 4,599 (approximately Rs 48,800). Display refresh rates are getting a lot of attention these days in smartphones. Many manufacturers like Samsung and Asus provide smartphones with a 120Hz refresh rate panel. But the Nubia Red Magic 5G is the first phone to beat all of this and come with a 144Hz refresh rate panel. Let's explain what is 144Hz refresh rate.

Refresh rate is the number of times a display refreshes an image it is showing to the user per second. So basically a 144Hz refresh rate display just shows 144 images per second helping the user have a much smoother viewing experience.

When the frames are being rendered faster than the display can show it to the user it causes screen tearing. So if you have a 60Hz display and the game is rendering 144 frames per second you will experience screen tearing. Screen tearing causes the video feed to appear jerky, blurred and with uneven motion. When you are gaming this does not make for an ideal experience. This is also one reason why many manufacturers are now offering higher refresh rate options on their phones.

With a 144Hz refresh rate, the Nubia Red Magic 5G will ensure a much smoother gaming performance, even better than screens with 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate. Given the Nubia Red Magic series has focussed on gaming, this kind of display was expected from the company.
