Nubia RedMagic 11

Nubia has unveiled the RedMagic 11 Pro+ and RedMagic 11 Pro in China, doubling down on its gaming-first formula with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, aggressive thermal design, and a rare under-display front camera to keep the screen uninterrupted. The pair share most of their core hardware—display, cameras, design—while differing mainly in battery and charging.

Early take

Nubia’s 11-series sticks to its lane: maximum screen real estate, top-tier silicon, and overbuilt cooling to keep frame rates stable. The Pro+ leans into speed with 120W wired plus wireless charging and more elaborate liquid cooling, while the standard Pro counters with a slightly larger 8,000mAh cell. Either way, these are unapologetically gaming-centric flagships with few compromises.
