RedMagic 11 Pro goes global: liquid-cooled gamer with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 7,500mAh battery, and 144Hz AMOLED

RedMagic’s latest flagship is now officially global as the RedMagic 11 Pro—and yes, if you’ve been tracking China launches, this is effectively the RedMagic 11 Pro+ rebadged for international markets. The pitch is simple: top-tier silicon, aggressive thermals, and a display built for high-FPS gaming, wrapped in a design that literally shows off its cooling.

Headline feature: real liquid cooling you can see

The 11 Pro is billed as the first mass-produced phone with liquid cooling. RedMagic’s AquaCore system routes liquid through the chassis and even makes it part of the aesthetic on the two transparent finishes—Nightfreeze and Subzero. A third option, Cryo, goes opaque in black. Backing AquaCore is an oversized vapor chamber, liquid metal layer, and an active fan—engineered for sustained performance, not just benchmark bursts.

Silicon built for frames, not fame

Under the hood sits Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, teamed with RedMagic’s in-house RedCore R4 coprocessor. With LPDDR5T RAM and UFS 4.1 Pro storage, the combo enables super-resolution frame interpolation, faster touch response, and what RedMagic claims is 33% lower latency versus its prior flagship. The Snapdragon is specced up to 4.6GHz CPU, 1.2GHz GPU, and a 37% faster NPU generation-over-generation. RAM options span 12GB / 16GB / 24GB.

Thermal stack: bigger, cooler, louder (on purpose)

RedMagic says the vapor chamber is the largest in any phone at 13,116mm². Add the active liquid cooling, liquid metal interface, and a 24,000RPM fan, and it’s clear this phone is built to hold frame rates. The company even touts a head-to-head gaming win over Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max, citing higher average FPS (60.9 vs 59.6), tighter frame variance (0.5fps vs 6.5fps), and lower gaming power draw (27% vs 49%). As always, independent testing will tell the full story, but the intent is obvious.

Display and cameras

Up front is a 6.85-inch 144Hz AMOLED with an uninterrupted canvas, thanks to a latest-gen 16MP under-display camera. On the rear: two 50MP shooters (wide + fixed-focus ultrawide) plus a 2MP macro. This is a gaming phone first; the camera setup is serviceable rather than showy.

Battery and charging

Power comes from a 7,500mAh cell with 120W wired and 80W wireless charging—rare to see both this big a battery and strong wireless speeds in a gaming-centric device.
