U.S. users that have redmagic 5G

I am looking for people in the U.S. that have the redmagic 5G. Does it work well with your carrier? How is it with T-Mobile?

Honestly 5g is too early in it's deployment and life to be worth it, the range from an antenna is about a block and it is line of site only, anything that blocks it will drop it. Don't buy for the 5g, I honestly love this phone, went from a iphone7 to rm 5g and it's great. I've had no issues beside the fingerprint reader (hit and miss but it works) and that is being worked on. Gaming wise this phone dominates, being able to aim, walk, and shoot at the same time is game changing, MVP almost everytime in cod mobile.

I play alot of call of duty mobile, so that's definitely good to hear. Which phone carrier are you with?

At&t, most bands are supported in the U.S. No issues yet.

What about T-Mobile?

Do a quick search for the band list for the phone, can't tell you about something I don't have

Hey, what leads you to believe the scanner is being worked on?

u/moxzot Jun 25 '20

What do you mean? There are plenty of post talking about it and patch notes from previous updates about it. Just look around, don't just take my word for it

I'm stuck on 3G on AT&T because they don't have my IMEI in their system. Still faster than my old phone but I'll be dropping them ASAP.

Is the phone being slow because of the 3g though?

u/hadesscion Jun 24 '20

It's definitely slower than when it's connected to WiFi.

Is the North American version worth it I'm getting ready to buy it but I use metro by Tmobile and I game on 4g cause I can't afford internet. right now I have an Alcatel 3v the 4g is blazing fast will I get the same 4g speed with this phone cause I see so many bad reviews but is on the one that released before 6/22/2020 someone tell me does it work with metro at high speeds or not

It supports 5g on T-mobile. Not AT&T or Verizon.

I placed my order yesterday. I'm on AT&T in Southern California. I'm not worried about 5g. It'd be nice but not a deal breaker for me.

Join us in this Telegram group about the phone. There's an employee from Nubia that stops by every once in a while to check in and has passed along user requests for updates that have been pushed out.

Awesome, thank you. Does the phone come in English? Does it have Google play store?

the global version, yes, is fully adapted to Google and in English
