RED MAGIC has launched its latest flagship gaming phones, the RED MAGIC 11 Pro and 11 Pro+, in China. Both devices run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and have scored 4.35 million points on AnTuTu 11. They come with up to 24GB of LPDDR5T RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 PRO storage.
Display and Performance
The phones feature a 6.85-inch 1.5K BOE X10 OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 10-bit color depth, and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. With a peak brightness of 2000 nits, DC dimming, and 2592Hz PWM dimming, the display promises smooth, eye-safe visuals even during extended sessions. The touch sampling rate peaks at 960Hz, providing instant response for competitive gameplay.
Both devices come equipped with up to 24GB of LPDDR5T RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 PRO storage, ensuring seamless multitasking and rapid data access. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip brings a 20% performance boost and up to 35% better power efficiency compared to the previous generation, ensuring faster load times and better battery endurance.
Gaming and Thermal Innovation
The Ultra Graphics Engine 3.0 and RedCore R4 chip enhance gaming performance by upscaling supported titles to 2K resolution at 144Hz. The China variant also includes a built-in PC emulator, letting users run desktop-level software on their phone.
Thermal management sees a major leap with RED MAGIC’s new dual-track cooling system, which combines active liquid and air cooling. Instead of a passive vapor chamber, it uses a ceramic micropump that circulates coolant through laser-cut microchannels. The fluorinated coolant operates between –40°C to 70°C, maintaining stability even under intense load. The company says the system underwent thousands of design iterations and tens of thousands of drop tests to ensure leak-proof durability.
Controls and Software
The phones feature a Synaptics touch chip with 3000Hz touch sampling, 520Hz shoulder triggers, and a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for precise control. Both run REDMAGIC OS 11, based on Android 16, and include the AI assistant MORA, capable of handling smart tasks like messaging, object recognition, and screen-based searches.
Camera and Battery
For imaging, the RED MAGIC 11 series houses a 50MP primary sensor (1/1.55”, f/1.88, OIS), a 50MP ultra-wide camera with a 120° field of view, and a 16MP under-display front camera by OmniVision. The phones support 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 144Hz video recording.
The RED MAGIC 11 Pro is backed by an 8000mAh battery with 80W fast charging, while the 11 Pro+ offers a 7500mAh battery with 120W wired and 80W wireless charging.
Pricing and Availability
The RED MAGIC 11 Pro series starts at 4,999 yuan (approx. USD 701) and goes up to 9,899 yuan (approx. USD 1,389) for the Golden Saga Edition. Both models are available now in China, with the global launch scheduled for November 7.
