RedMagic phones finally get a beta testing program in the US

Big companies like Apple, Google, and Samsung always try to keep their phones up to date in terms of software. Other major phone manufacturers also offer timely software updates to try to fix some of the issues reported by users or simply to improve their device post-launch.

To make things easier, most of these companies run beta programs that ensure that they get the necessary feedback from customers to implement appropriate changes in their software updates.

Nubia, the Chinese phone maker behind the powerful and stylish RedMagic gaming phone, didn't have a beta program until recently. The lack of a beta program means that RedMagic phones receive much slower updates than the competition, ultimately holding back sales.

But that's about to change, as Nubia announced earlier this week that it would launch its first open beta program in the United States, Mexico, and Asia. The first phones eligible for the open beta program are the RedMagic 8 Pro and RedMagic 8S Pro.

The company also revealed that RedMagic 8 Pro testing will begin in late January, while RedMagic 8S Pro users are expected to receive the first beta update in mid-February.

RedMagic's beta program works like any other similar program from other companies. Some users enrolled in the beta program will receive a software update that they can test for approximately two weeks.

Obviously, they will be required to report any bugs or problems encountered, no matter how minor it may seem. After the first round of testing, Nubia engineers will analyze the feedback and select a new group of users to test an improved version of the previous update.

RedMagic users can help Nubia perfect their products by joining the recently announced beta program in the aforementioned region. Simply go to Google Forms and complete the application. If you are selected for the beta program, you will be notified by email.
