Nubia RedMagic 7 Pro (The best value gaming phone)
Nubia has made its name in the gaming phone industry. From an RGB fan to sharp accents and fonts, the Nubia RedMagic 7 Pro has all of the horsepower one could ask for including the ultrasonic shoulder triggers and upgraded cooling system. However, this one is a pure gaming phone and other features are underwhelming including cameras and annoying software.
The phone is available in 2 colours. The Obsidian model with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage costs $799/£679/€799 while the Supernova version with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage runs $899/£759/€899.
