RedMagic 11 Pro Goes Global with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, Red Core R4, and Liquid Cooling

Monday, 03 November 2025 at 16:36

After weeks of teasing, RedMagic has confirmed the global rollout of its latest gaming beast — the RedMagic 11 Pro. The phone, already making waves in China, is now crossing borders with a few changes, refined cooling, and official worldwide pricing.

A True Gaming Flagship, Reinvented for Global Markets

At the heart of the RedMagic 11 Pro lies Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the most powerful chip in Android right now. It’s paired with the in-house Red Core R4 gaming processor, which handles advanced frame interpolation and graphics enhancements — a feature that makes fast-paced titles look even smoother.

For serious mobile gamers, that combo alone makes this phone a contender. Oh and having said thatt, don't forget to ready our Redmagic Astra Gaming tablet - it's a treat! But RedMagic didn’t stop there.

Display and Design: Pure Immersion, No Notch in Sight

The device sports a 6.85-inch AMOLED panel with a crisp 2,688 × 1,216 resolution, 144 Hz refresh rate, and 1,800-nit peak brightness. What stands out most is the under-display 16 MP selfie camera, keeping the screen completely uninterrupted. No punch hole, no distractions — just a clean, all-screen view built for gaming or streaming.

The back carries a dual 50 MP setup (main + ultrawide), not trying to rival camera-centric flagships but offering solid, balanced results for its class.

Built for Long Sessions: Cooling, Power, and Endurance

Under sustained gaming loads, the 11 Pro brings one of the most advanced cooling systems in any smartphone today. It combines liquid cooling, a vapor chamber, and an active fan spinning up to 24,000 RPM — while still maintaining IPX8 water resistance.

That’s a remarkable engineering feat. You can game for hours without thermal throttling or noticeable drops in frame rate — something that gives RedMagic a real edge over competitors like the ROG Phone 8 or Lenovo Legion Pro.

Powering it all is a 7,500 mAh battery, slightly smaller than the Chinese model’s 8,000 mAh unit. The global variant supports 80 W wired and 80 W wireless charging, which keeps recharge times short without pushing heat too high.

Global Launch and Pricing

The RedMagic 11 Pro goes on sale November 19, with Early Bird vouchers starting November 13 for those eager to grab it first.

Official global pricing:

12GB + 256GB: $749 / €699
16GB + 512GB: $849 / €799
24GB + 1TB: $999 / €999

Given these numbers, RedMagic positions the 11 Pro as a performance-first flagship — a gaming powerhouse at a lower price than most premium Android phones in 2025.

A Growing Niche That’s Going Mainstream

Gaming phones used to be niche, but RedMagic’s steady evolution is changing that. With top-tier specs, global 5G support, and refined software, the 11 Pro blurs the line between hardcore gaming gear and everyday flagship.

It’s still unapologetically gamer-focused — and that’s exactly what makes it stand out.
