Nubia Play may launch internationally as the Red Magic 5G Lite
ZTE's sub-brand Nubia might launch its mid-range gaming smartphone Nubia Play 5G as the Red Magic 5G Lite internationally.
Shortly after the launch of the flagship Red Magic 5G in March this year, Nubia unveiled a new mid-range gaming smartphone called the Nubia Play 5G in China. Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 765G chip, the Nubia Play 5G featured a 6.65-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with an impressive 144Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate. The device also packed in up to 8GB of LPDDR4z RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 2.1 storage, along with a massive 5,100mAh battery featuring 30W fast charging support.
Kernel sources for the Moto G8 Play and Nubia Play 5G are now available
Motorola and Nubia have released kernel sources for the Moto G8 Play (based on Android 9) and the Nubia Play 5G (based on Android 10), respectively.
The availability of the kernel source code for a particular phone plays an important part in aftermarket development. Not only does it allow third-party developers to dive deeper into the code and tune it to improve the device’s overall performance, but the kernel source release also helps them to build custom recoveries and ROMs for the device. To promote such development as well as fulfilling the legal obligation regarding GNU General Public License v2, most OEMs nowadays publicly release kernel sources sometime after their devices hit the market. Now two major smartphone manufacturers, Motorola and Nubia, have released kernel sources for the Moto G8 Play and the Nubia Play 5G, respectively.
