Rumor: Nubia equips Red Magic 6 back with electrochromic glass – Tablets and phones – News

Nubia would like to equip its upcoming gaming smartphone Red Magic 6 with electrochromic glass on the back. As a result, the glass could change from a solid color to a semi-transparent glass.

Changing the transparency would work with a button on the side, it shows a video that a user posted to Weibo. As a result, the transparency of the back changes and components underneath or stickers that should create such an illusion become visible. This switching between transparent and dark is done by supplying the electrochromic glass with voltage. That happens briefly.

It is not the first time that this idea, previously known mainly from airplane windows such as the Boeing Dreamliner and sports cars, has appeared on the mobile market. The Chinese manufacturer OnePlus already showed it on the Concept One phone early this year. Also sister brand Vivo has already shown such an idea, but those concepts weren’t on phones that are actually available until now.

Red Magic is Nubia’s line of gaming phones. The next version would be called Red Magic 6. In any case, Nubia is using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888-soc, but otherwise little is known about the phone. The new model should be released in the first months of next year.
