Gaming smartphones continue to become more powerful every year, and REDMAGIC is pushing performance even further with its latest launch. The company has officially introduced the REDMAGIC 11S Pro and REDMAGIC 11S Pro+, two flagship smartphones designed specifically for mobile gamers who want high-end performance without major compromises.
The new lineup brings several upgrades, including a faster processor, improved cooling technology, a smoother display, and large-capacity batteries. REDMAGIC is also placing a strong focus on delivering a more console-like gaming experience directly from a smartphone.
Smooth OLED Display Designed for Competitive Mobile Gaming
The REDMAGIC 11S Pro series features a large 6.85-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.
The screen-to-body ratio reaches 95.3%, giving the smartphones an almost bezel-free appearance that creates a more immersive experience during gaming sessions.
REDMAGIC has also used BOE’s X10 display material, which is designed to improve brightness and overall image quality. The 16MP front-facing camera is placed under the display, helping maintain a cleaner full-screen design without a visible camera cutout.
The display also carries SGS and TÜV Rheinland certifications for eye-care features, which may make extended viewing more comfortable. A fast 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is also integrated directly into the display.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Powers the Series
Performance is clearly one of the biggest priorities of the REDMAGIC 11S Pro lineup.
Both models are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version chipset, with clock speeds reaching up to 4.74GHz.
According to REDMAGIC, the smartphones achieved more than 4.6 million points on the AnTuTu benchmark, putting them among the highest-performing Android devices according to the company’s testing.
The company has also included its proprietary Red Core R4 gaming chip. This additional processor is designed to improve frame stability, graphics rendering, touch response, and frame interpolation during gameplay.
Advanced Cooling for Extended Gaming Sessions
Thermal management has become increasingly important for gaming smartphones as modern flagship processors generate significant amounts of heat under sustained workloads.
To address this challenge, REDMAGIC has equipped the 11S Pro series with a hybrid cooling system that combines liquid and air cooling.
The setup includes:
- Updated liquid-cooling channels
- A high-speed 24,000 RPM cooling fan
- A new 43-blade internal fan design
- Improved airflow optimization
REDMAGIC also claims that the cooling fan supports IPX8-level water protection, while the smartphones themselves carry an IPX8 rating.
The REDMAGIC 11S Pro+ takes the cooling system further by adding a dedicated full-liquid cooling module designed for users who regularly push their smartphones through demanding gaming sessions.
Large Batteries and Faster Charging
Battery capacity is another area where REDMAGIC is targeting mobile gamers.
The standard REDMAGIC 11S Pro features a large 8,000mAh battery paired with 80W wired charging.
Meanwhile, the REDMAGIC 11S Pro+ comes with a slightly smaller 7,500mAh battery but offers significantly faster charging support:
- 120W wired charging
- 80W wireless charging
This combination allows the Pro+ model to recharge more quickly while still providing substantial battery capacity for gaming, streaming, and everyday use.
Extra Features Gamers Will Appreciate
Beyond raw performance, the new REDMAGIC smartphones include several features that have become less common on modern flagship devices.
Users get:
- Dual 50MP rear cameras
- Built-in infrared port
- 3.5mm headphone jack
- Wi-Fi 7 support
- NFC connectivity
One of the more interesting additions is direct Steam integration. REDMAGIC says supported PC games can be accessed through the built-in gaming space, helping create a more PC-like gaming experience on a mobile device.

The REDMAGIC 11S Pro starts at approximately $760 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration.

With a high-refresh-rate OLED display, powerful Snapdragon chipset, dedicated gaming processor, advanced cooling system, large batteries, and fast charging, the new lineup focuses heavily on sustained gaming performance.
The inclusion of features such as a headphone jack, infrared port, Wi-Fi 7, and Steam integration also gives the series a broader appeal beyond raw specifications.
