The battlefield of mobile gaming has a new champion. Nubia’s RedMagic brand has officially pulled back the curtain on its latest gaming powerhouses, the RedMagic 11 Pro and the RedMagic 11 Pro+, in a launch event in China that sets a new benchmark for what a gaming phone can be. Available for purchase immediately in its home market, the global launch is also confirmed, promising to bring this formidable hardware to international gamers soon.
This new generation isn't just an incremental update; it's a statement of intent, packing industry-first features that directly address the core demands of serious mobile gamers: blistering speed, revolutionary cooling, and marathon-lasting battery life.
A Charging Revolution: 80W Wireless and a Massive 8,000 mAh Battery
One of the most significant leaps forward is in the charging department. The RedMagic 11 Pro series marks the brand's first foray into high-speed wireless charging, boasting a staggering 80W wireless charging capability. This means you can drop the phone on a pad and get back into a game with a significant power boost in mere minutes, without fumbling with cables.
But the wired charging is no slouch either. Both models support the company's hyper-fast 120W Magic Flash charging, which is essential for minimal downtime. The true endurance king, however, is the massive 8,000 mAh battery shared by both models. This is one of the largest batteries ever seen in a flagship-tier phone, promising to power through even the longest gaming sessions without needing a recharge.
For the purists, RedMagic includes advanced features like bypass charging, which powers the phone directly from the outlet to reduce heat generated by charging the battery during gameplay, and direct drive charging for optimized power delivery.
The Cooling Arms Race: Water, Vapor, and a 24,000 RPM Fan
What good is top-tier performance if the device can't sustain it? RedMagic has long been the leader in active cooling, and the 11 Pro series takes it to a new level. The company has unveiled the world's first cooling system that integrates a water cooling loop, a large vapor chamber, and an active cooling fan with an insane 24,000 RPM speed.
This multi-layered "ICE 14.0" cooling architecture is designed to dissipate the immense heat generated by the flagship Snapdragon chipset, ensuring that peak performance is maintained during the most graphically intensive games without triggering aggressive thermal throttling.
In a move that will please many, the company also confirmed that the entire series comes with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. This is a rare and highly requested feature in the gaming phone segment, offering peace of mind against accidental spills or dust.
Unmatched Performance: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Red Core R4
At the heart of these gaming beasts lies the most powerful mobile processor available: the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This chipset is designed to deliver desktop-level gaming performance on a mobile device, handling ray-traced graphics and complex AI tasks with ease.
Complementing the Snapdragon chip is RedMagic's own Red Core R4, an in-house chip dedicated to enhancing gaming performance. This co-processor handles shoulder trigger responses, haptic feedback, audio cues, and lighting effects, offloading these tasks from the main CPU for a smoother, more immersive experience.
This raw power is displayed on a screen built for victory. Both phones feature a display with a buttery-smooth 144 Hz maximum refresh rate and a crisp 2K resolution, ensuring every motion is fluid and every visual detail is razor-sharp. For security, RedMagic has integrated an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint sensor, which is typically faster and more reliable than optical sensors.
The excitement is already building on social media, with the official RedMagic Weibo account sharing glimpses of the phone's capabilities and the community's reaction. You can see the buzz for yourself right here:

The Verdict: A New Contender for the Gaming Throne
With the RedMagic 11 Pro series, the brand has thrown down the gauntlet. By combining the raw power of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with a revolutionary cooling system, an enormous battery, and the convenience of 80W wireless charging, it has created a package that is incredibly difficult to ignore. The addition of an IP68 rating shows a commitment to build quality that goes beyond pure performance.
