Gaming phones live or die by sustained performance, not peak benchmarks. RedMagic knows this, which is why the 11S Pro Series launches with as much engineering focused on keeping the chip cool as on the chip itself.
The series officially goes on sale in China today. Global pricing and availability will be announced on May 27 via the RedMagic website.
Three Chips Instead of One
The 11S Pro Series runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version, the overclocked variant of Qualcomm's current flagship platform, hitting up to 4.74GHz. That's the headline spec, but the more interesting part is what sits alongside it.
RedMagic pairs the Snapdragon with its proprietary RedCore R4 gaming chip, which handles touch optimization, frame enhancement, rendering acceleration, and AI features independently of the main processor. Energy CUBE 3.0 then acts as a system-level coordinator, managing thermal load, power scheduling, and frame rate stability across long sessions. Super-resolution and frame interpolation support extends across more than 200 titles.
Cooling That Actually Moves Air
The AquaCore Cooling System combines a 4D vapor chamber, Composite Liquid Metal 3.0, and an active TurboFan. That fan spins up to 24,000 RPM while staying below 30dB, and it carries an IPX8 water-resistance rating for daily durability.
It's a concept borrowed from AI server cooling architecture, and it's the same reason RedMagic can put a larger battery in a gaming phone without the phone throttling itself into mediocrity after ten minutes of sustained load.
The Display Finally Has No Notch
RedMagic has been pushing toward a true full-screen design for a while, and the 11S Pro Series gets there. The 6.85-inch BOE X10 AMOLED panel achieves a 95.3% screen-to-body ratio with 1.25mm bezels, with no punch hole or notch on the front.
That's possible thanks to an under-display camera, a 16MP UDC paired with an upgraded display driver, and a high-transparency circuit architecture to minimize the visual interference that plagued earlier UDC implementations. Resolution is 1.5K (2688 x 1216) at 144Hz.
Two Models, Different Battery Strategies
The standard 11S Pro goes big on capacity: an 8,000mAh dual-cell battery, the largest RedMagic has ever shipped, with 80W fast charging. For extended sessions casting to a TV or monitor while gaming, this is the one.
The 11S Pro+ trades some of that capacity for speed. It features a 7,500 mAh battery with 120W wired and 80W wireless charging. The faster charge cycle suits players who need quick turnarounds between sessions rather than the absolute longest runtime.
Controls and Audio
Touch input runs through a Synaptics solution with MagicTouch 4.0, delivering a 3,000Hz single-touch sampling rate and 360Hz multi-finger rate. The shoulder triggers operate independently at 520Hz. For competitive FPS and MOBA play, those numbers matter.
Audio comes from dual 1115E + 1015 speaker units, DTS:X Ultra certification, a three-microphone array, and a 3.5mm jack. RedMagic is one of the few brands still shipping a headphone port as standard on a flagship in 2026, and it remains a meaningful differentiator for wired gaming audio. Connectivity rounds out with Wi-Fi 7, NFC, infrared, and USB-C.
AI and Cross-Platform Features
RedMagic OS 11.5 includes the Mora AI Assistant, which adds AI Tactical Coaching during gameplay alongside tools for in-game communication. Desktop projection supports up to 4K at 144Hz on external displays, with automatic aspect ratio adjustment to fill the screen without black borders.
The 11S Pro Series is the official device for several professional mobile esports competitions in China, including the CrossFire Mobile League, Arena Breakout Masters, and Call of Duty: Mobile Masters, as well as Wild Rift and Speed League events.
Ecosystem and Accessories
Alongside the phones, RedMagic unveiled the GS09 Carbon Fiber Gaming Mouse, which weighs approximately 49g thanks to its carbon fiber and magnesium-aluminum alloy construction. It runs a PAW3950 sensor with a polling rate of up to 8K in both wired and wireless modes and supports up to 30,000 DPI. New colorways for the RedMagic Cooler 8 Pro and the Dao Energy Card Pro magnetic power bank also launched alongside.
RedMagic also teased the Gaming Tablet 5 Pro, which will launch globally as the RedMagic Astra 2.
Pricing and Availability
China pricing starts at 5,499 RMB for the 11S Pro in 12GB/256GB. The 11S Pro+ opens at 6,199 RMB for 12GB/256GB, stepping up to 6,999 RMB for 16GB/512GB and 7,999 RMB for 16GB/1TB.
Global pricing and regional availability will be announced on May 27 on redmagic.gg. Expect the usual uplift from RMB conversion for Western markets, though RedMagic has historically priced aggressively against Asus ROG Phone and Lenovo Legion for the global launch.
