RedMagic has taken its top-tier gaming phone global with the RedMagic 11 Pro — a handset that puts liquid cooling front and center. It’s essentially the international version of the China-only 11 Pro+, but now more gamers worldwide can buy what the company calls the first mass-produced phone with visible liquid cooling.
AquaCore on show: cooling you can see
Imagine a phone that actually shows how it keeps its temps down. RedMagic’s AquaCore system is integrated into the phone’s design: two transparent finishes — Nightfreeze and Subzero — expose the cooling hardware on the back, while a third Cryo model keeps things stealthy in matte black. The brand says the 11 Pro uses the world’s largest vapor chamber in a phone (13,116 mm²), paired with a liquid metal layer, active liquid cooling and a 24,000 RPM fan to sustain heavy games without throttling.
Chips, memory and measurable speed gains
Under the hood sits the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 alongside RedMagic’s in-house RedCore R4 processor. Together with LPDDR5T RAM and UFS 4.1 Pro storage, the combo enables tech such as super-resolution frame interpolation, snappier touch response and up to 33% lower latency compared with earlier models. The Snapdragon package pushes CPU frequencies up to 4.6GHz, GPU clocks to 1.2GHz and a noticeably faster NPU (about 37% improvement over the previous flagship). Memory options top out at 24GB RAM for power users.
RedMagic also touts a head-to-head gaming benchmark against the iPhone 17 Pro Max, claiming higher average frame rates (60.9fps vs 59.6fps), far lower frame-rate variance (0.5fps vs 6.5fps) and significantly reduced battery drain in the tested scenario (27% vs 49%). Those numbers come from RedMagic’s own testing but they signal the handset’s focus on sustained performance.
Display, battery life and cameras built for long sessions
The display is a 6.85-inch AMOLED with a 144Hz refresh rate and an under-screen 16MP selfie camera, providing a clean, uninterrupted front surface ideal for immersive play. The battery is a massive 7,500mAh pack with support for 120W wired and 80W wireless charging — designed to keep marathon gamers going. Photo hardware includes two 50MP rear sensors: a main wide-angle and a fixed-focus ultrawide.
