Comparison review
The OnePlus 8 UW is just a bit better than nubia Red Magic 5G, getting a 75.9 score against 75.7. These phones work with the same Android 10 OS (Operating System), so you shouldn't see any difference in that aspect. OnePlus 8 UW is a thinner and somewhat lighter cellphone than the nubia Red Magic 5G, even when both of them were released only a couple months apart.
The OnePlus 8 UW has a bit more vivid screen than nubia Red Magic 5G, because although it has a quite smaller display, it also counts with a bit higher resolution of 1080 x 2400, way more brightness and a quite higher pixel number in each inch of screen. Nubia Red Magic 5G and OnePlus 8 UW both count with really similar memory capacity for applications, games, photos and videos, both of them have exactly the same 128 GB internal storage capacity.
The nubia Red Magic 5G and the OnePlus 8 UW have very similar CPUs, both have a 8 GB RAM memory and 8 processing cores. Nubia Red Magic 5G has a bit better battery performance than OnePlus 8 UW, because it has 4500mAh of battery capacity instead of 4300mAh. The nubia Red Magic 5G has a little bit better camera than OnePlus 8 UW, and although they both have the same video quality, the same 60 fps video frame rates and a F1.8 aperture, the nubia Red Magic 5G also has a larger camera sensor capturing more light and vivid colors and a way higher 64 megapixels resolution back facing camera.
Although OnePlus 8 UW is a better device, it is more expensive than the nubia Red Magic 5G, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as nubia Red Magic 5G. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy the OnePlus 8 UW, but if you don't you can save some money and get the nubia Red Magic 5G, letting go a couple features and specifications.
