RedMagic’s next gaming flagship is already showing up in benchmarks ahead of launch, and the numbers are pretty wild. A new Geekbench 6 listing believed to belong to the upcoming RedMagic 11S Pro+ has reportedly crossed the 4000-point mark in single-core performance, something that, according to Chinese blogger @肥威, no Android phone had legitimately managed before on the platform.
Multiple Geekbench 6 listings for the device surfaced on May 10 under the model number nubia NX809J. One particular entry reportedly crossed the 4000-point mark in single-core performance, scoring around 4010 points before later disappearing from the database. Even so, several remaining listings still show extremely high scores in the 3900+ range for single-core performance, alongside even stronger multi-core results exceeding 12,000 points in some cases. Altogether, the benchmark results line up pretty closely with RedMagic’s continued focus on aggressive performance tuning and overclocking.
RedMagic recently talked about its overclocking process and how it selects the “best of the best” Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chips, which could explain the jump in peak performance. In simple terms, the company claims to be cherry-picking the strongest chips it can get. There’s also another interesting detail here: instead of the usual Qualcomm ARMv8 labeling, the benchmark references a “QTI SM8850 3628 MHz (8 cores)” configuration.
Of course, raw clock speed only matters if the phone can actually sustain it without overheating. That’s where RedMagic’s cooling setup comes in. The 11S Pro+ is expected to feature an upgraded active cooling fan alongside vapor chamber and liquid-cooling-style thermal systems, continuing the company’s usual approach of prioritizing performance above almost everything else.
There’s also mention of RedMagic’s custom Redcore R4 gaming chip and the latest version of its CUBE Sky Gaming Engine. According to teaser material, the phone can supposedly run more than 200 games at up to 2K resolution and 144fps while simultaneously using frame interpolation and resolution upscaling.
The full RedMagic 11S Pro series is scheduled to launch in China on May 18, where the company is also expected to announce a new gaming tablet.
