Red Magic just raised the bar for luxury gaming hardware with two new limited-edition Golden Saga devices: the Red Magic 11 Pro+ Golden Saga smartphone and the Red Magic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro Golden Saga. These collector-focused models mix high-end materials, gold-plated cooling tech and flagship internals — a bold play that targets gamers who want performance with premium flair.
A luxury build that reads like a collector’s piece
The 11 Pro+ Golden Saga leans hard into craftsmanship. Think supercar carbon fiber, aerospace-grade sapphire on the back, plus a mirror silver frame. Red Magic extends the theme to interiors: gold-plated vapor chamber cooling, dual-tone air ducts and what the company calls the industry’s first gold-plated liquid cooling system. Even small touches — the power button, the logo and the SIM eject tool — receive gold plating. Each phone ships in a collector’s gift box, underscoring the limited-edition positioning.

Extreme cooling: gold where it counts
Beyond aesthetics, Red Magic emphasizes thermal performance. The phone pairs a Wind Chaser 4.0 active cooling fan with the ICE Magic cooling array and a gold-plated vapor chamber to push sustained gaming clocks. For mobile gamers, that means higher frame stability during extended sessions — and a visual statement to match.
Flagship performance and camera basics
Under the hood the 11 Pro+ Golden Saga runs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and offers a hefty single configuration: 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Camera hardware is straightforward for a gaming-first handset, with a 50MP dual-camera setup. The phone’s exclusive spec sheet and premium materials come at a premium price: the single configuration is listed at 9,899 Yuan (around $1,360) in China.
Tablet stage: a compact yet powerful gaming slate
Red Magic isn’t stopping at phones. The Gaming Tablet 3 Pro Golden Saga adopts the same golden design language — gold rear logo, a gold-plated magic key and a gilded ring around the rear camera. But the tablet is all about a focused gaming display and thermal design.
A display built for fast reflexes
The tablet sports a 9.06-inch OLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, sub-1ms response time and tiny 4.9mm bezels that yield a 90.1% screen-to-body ratio. Specs include up to 1,600 nits peak brightness and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. TÜV Rheinland certification and 5,280Hz PWM dimming are included to reduce eye strain during long play sessions.

Hardware tuned for gaming
Power comes from the Snapdragon 8 Elite on TSMC’s 3nm node, paired with Red Core R3 Pro co-processor dedicated to gaming optimizations. Memory and storage are top-tier too: LPDDR5T RAM running at 9,600 Mbps and UFS 4.1 Pro storage. Thermal control uses ICE 3.0 — a sandwich-style vapor chamber, liquid metal 2.0 and an active turbo fan — to keep thermals in check while performance stays high.
Battery, touch and extras
The tablet packs an 8,200mAh battery with 80W wired charging, capable of hitting 50% in about 22 minutes thanks to bypass charging. Gamers get a Synaptics S3930 controller for up to 2,000Hz touch sampling, plus a 13MP rear camera, 9MP front camera, dual speakers, dual linear motors, NFC, a fingerprint sensor and wireless casting support.
Who are these devices for — and when can you buy them?
These Golden Saga editions are clearly aimed at enthusiasts and collectors who value both performance and statement-making design. Red Magic confirmed pre-orders will open soon in China; availability beyond the local market hasn’t been specified. If you’re after bleeding-edge mobile gaming hardware with a luxury twist, these limited editions are built to grab attention — and a relatively steep price tag.
