Nubia has officially unveiled the Red Magic 11 Pro series in China on October 17, 2025, a new generation of gaming phones with cutting-edge hardware and revolutionary cooling technology. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, the Red Magic 11 Pro and 11 Pro Plus are engineered to provide ultimate performance for mobile gamers, content creators, and technology enthusiasts.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Powers Next-Level Gaming
Right at the core of the Red Magic 11 Pro lineup is Qualcomm’s new flagman processor, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This processor comes with a record-breaking performance, better energy efficiency, and support for more powerful AI. Paired with Red Magic’s separate gaming chip, players can look forward to smoother experience, quicker app starts, and better heat control during marathon sessions.
The Pro Plus model has been said to come equipped with as much as 24 gigabytes of RAM and 1 terabyte of storage space, making it one of the most powerful smartphones to ever be released.
World’s First Active Liquid Cooling System in a Smartphone
One of the aspects of the Red Magic 11 Pro series that has been most widely circulated is its active liquid cooling system, a first for the smartphone world. In contrast to conventional vapor chambers, the system employs a ceramic micropump to pump coolant through laser-cut channels, transferring heat from the chipset to a fan-cooled radiator.
This dual-path cooling system fuses liquid and air cooling, providing stable performance even when heavily loaded. The system employs AI-grade cooling liquid that is stable between minus 60 degrees Celsius and 108 degrees Celsius, enabling the phone to maintain optimal performance without throttling.
Massive Battery and Ultra-Fast Charging
Red Magic 11 Pro devices are equipped with a humongous 8000 milliampere hour battery, the largest in any Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 smartphone. It allows uninterrupted playtime for gaming, streaming, and multitasking with less need for charging breaks.
Both wired charging and wireless charging at 120 watts and 80 watts respectively are impressive. The phone will be charged completely in under 30 minutes, so users never have to be without power on the go with power users.
Display and Design Highlights
The Red Magic 11 Pro boasts a 6.85 inch AMOLED screen with a 1216 by 2688 pixel resolution, delivering rich colors, rich blacks, and ultra-smooth refresh rates. The gamer-like design continues, including RGB lighting touches, adjustable shoulder triggers, and an aggressive look that will be welcomed by esports enthusiasts.
The phone is powered by Redmagic OS 11, which is built on Android 16, and it features game space optimization, performance optimization, and live temperature monitoring.
Camera Setup and Multimedia Features
While gaming is the main priority, the Red Magic 11 Pro does not neglect camera capabilities. It has a 50 megapixel main sensor that shoots 4320p video, plus AI backed low light photography and motion capture. The front camera has high resolution selfie and video call capabilities, so the phone is also apt for content creators and streamers.
Pricing and Availability
The Red Magic 11 Pro series is expected to be reasonably priced with the standard version starting at around 3,999 yuan and the Pro Plus version going all the way up to 5,999 yuan, depending on configuration. International availability is anticipated to follow later in 2025, with pre-orders currently being accepted on the Red Magic website.
Final Thoughts
The Red Magic 11 Pro series is a milestone release in mobile gaming tech. With its powerful chipset, revolutionary cooling system, and massive battery, it sets the bar for what a gaming smartphone can do. Whether you are a hardcore gamer, an enthusiast, or simply need the best performance, the Red Magic 11 Pro is a product that ticks all the boxes.
