We've talked a lot about gaming phones lately, but what actually makes a phone a gaming phone? Performance is obviously a big selling point for being able to play intensive games. A great gaming experience on a mobile phone is about more than just power. That's why the Nubia Red Magic 3 has built-in triggers.

Red Magic 3 XDA Forum

XDA TV's Max Weinbach published a video to show off how the triggers on the Red Magic 3 can improve the gaming experience. These triggers are capacitive and customizable. Max has the triggers mapped to the "scope in" and "fire" button in Fortnite Mobile. The triggers simply mimic a screen tap wherever you place them, meaning they can work with any game that has on-screen buttons. Check out the video below to see how much easier it makes playing the game.
