Red Magic 12 Pro+ Design Revealed: True Full-Screen Gaming Phone
Ahead of its highly anticipated October 15 launch in China, Red Magic has pulled the curtain back on the design of its upcoming flagship, the Red Magic 12 Pro+. Focusing squarely on an uninterrupted user experience and top-tier gaming performance, the company showcased a refined aesthetic that eliminates the camera bump entirely, while maintaining its signature futuristic styling.
A Seamless Design with a Flush Camera Module
The Red Magic 12 Pro+ introduces a significant design evolution: a completely flat rear panel. By making the rear camera module completely flush with the body, Red Magic has achieved a uniform, sleek profile that prevents the phone from wobbling when placed flat on a table—a minor but welcome refinement for hardcore mobile gamers.
The device will be offered in three distinct, transparent-inspired finishes: Transparent Dark Night, Transparent Silver Wing, and Transparent Ice Blue. These transparent backplates purposely expose parts of the phone’s internal cooling structure, including an eye-catching RGB liquid cooling mechanism.
True Full-Screen Experience
Continuing its commitment to a “true full-screen” aesthetic, Red Magic has eschewed the divisive punch-hole and notch cutouts. Instead, the 12 Pro+ utilizes the company’s ninth-generation under-display camera technology. The engineering team has also successfully shaved down the display’s black borders from 1.25mm in the previous iteration to an ultra-thin 0.96mm, maximizing screen real estate for maximum immersion during gameplay and media consumption.
Shattering Benchmarks with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme
Under the hood, the Red Magic 12 Pro+ is positioned as an absolute powerhouse. It will be driven by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 mobile platform. Early performance indicators are staggering: a device bearing the Nubia NX819J model number recently surfaced on Geekbench 7, posting a single-core score of 3,677 and a multi-core score of 12,679. These metrics currently outpace other smartphones equipped with the same chipset.
To sustain this extreme performance, the smartphone relies on a hybrid RGB liquid and air-cooling system, visually showcased through the transparent rear glass.
Battery, Charging, and Availability
While Red Magic promises a lighter, thinner, and more rounded chassis compared to its predecessor, rumors suggest it will not compromise on battery capacity. Leaks point to a massive 8,400mAh battery supporting rapid 120W wired and 80W wireless charging protocols, though these specific battery metrics remain officially unconfirmed by the manufacturer.
The Red Magic 12 Pro+ will officially debut in China on October 15 at 2:30 PM local time. While retail pricing remains under wraps, early adopters in China can secure a reservation for 100 yuan (approx. $15) via the official website and JD.com. This reservation unlocks a promotional bundle valued at up to 4,300 yuan ($641), which includes a Red Magic Cooler 8 Pro, cashback, and trade-in incentives. Details regarding a global launch have not yet been announced.
