Nubia Red Magic Mars gaming phone launches with up to 10 GB RAM and shoulder buttons

ZTE’s Nubia sub-brand makes some interesting devices, though most of these quirky devices remain limited to China only. Recently, the company had launched the Nubia X, a device with dual displays and dual fingerprint sensors, but no front camera. And now, the company has launched the Nubia Red Magic Mars — a gaming phone with flagship level specifications, liquid and air cooling systems and shoulder buttons.

The primary focus of the Nubia Red Magic Mars is gaming, which means that the phone packs in some impressive specifications, alongside a design that is meant to stand out from the crowd. Supporting this unique design are two Red Magic touch game buttons, meant to be used while gaming in landscape mode. While we don’t have clear information on how key mapping is implemented on the device, the existence of dedicated hardware buttons opens up the possibility of using them in the same manner as you would use the shoulder buttons on a game controller.



The device also features liquid cooling and air cooling systems in order to reduce the device temperature by up to 13°C and improve CPU performance by up to 70%. The phone also claims to offer “4D gaming experience” with real-time recognition of game scenes that vibrates the phone to match more than 40 game scenes. There’s also DTS 7.1 channel and 3D surround sound. Gaming experiences are incomplete without RGB’ing everything, so the device adds in a LED light strip on the metallic back, because why not.


Pricing and Availability



The Nubia Red Magic Mars comes in Black and Flame Red colors for the 6GB and 8GB variants, while the 10GB variant comes in a Camouflage color and design. The device is priced at CNY 2,699 (~$390; ₹27,500) for the 6GB variant, CNY 3,199 (~$460; ₹32,500) for the 8GB variant and CNY 3,999 (~$575; ₹40,500) for the 10GB variant. The device is available for pre-ordering in China, with sales scheduled to begin from December 7, 2018. There is currently no word on whether this device will make its way out of China. But seeing the trend of gaming phones on Android gathering decent momentum, we wouldn’t be surprised if this does make its way onto the global stage.

How A/B Partitions and Seamless Updates Affect Custom Development on XDA

When Android Nougat released, it had us talking about all kinds of new features . We got a newly updated user interface for starters along with long-awaited multiwindow capabilities and Vulkan Graphics API support. But one under-the-hood addition flew over the heads of most users. Android Nougat introduced “Seamless Updates” on devices that support A/B partitions. The vast majority of existing Android devices (excluding the new Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL ) did not have A/B partitions at the time and thus couldn’t take advantage of seamless updates. The basic premise of this feature is that the device has a second set of the system, boot, vendor, and other important partitions, and when you get an OTA update the update happens in the background while the second set of partitions are patched which lets you reboot into an updated software build seamlessly. If an update fails, you’ll be kicked back to a working build, meaning companies will have fewer headaches to deal with and con...

Can you use the Tor Browser without Tor connection?

Tor Browser is a web browser specifically designed for privacy and anonymity. The web browser is a modified version of Firefox ESR that includes privacy tweaks and even some extensions to improve privacy and security on the Internet. What makes it special is that all connections go through several severs of the Tor network before they connect to the destination. Connections to Tor improve privacy when you are online but could you, in theory, run Tor Browser without Tor? Tor Browser without Tor would still provide better out-of-the-box privacy than Firefox ESR or Firefox Stable -- and other browsers. It is arguably the browser with the best default privacy configuration which might make it attractive to some users. Dropping Tor reduces privacy while online but that can be compensated, e.g. by connecting to a VPN or even chaining VPN services  and it would speed things up significantly. Tor is the better choice when it comes to critical tasks, e.g. leaking documents or communication...
