Red Magic 11S Pro launches globally with advanced cooling and large battery

Priced at $849 for the base model, the Red Magic 11S Pro has expanded its availability beyond China, reaching markets in the US, UK, and Europe starting June 10, 2026. This gaming smartphone positions itself between the OnePlus 13 and Asus ROG Phone 9 in terms of cost while incorporating Qualcomm's latest chipset.

At the heart of the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Edition processor, which operates at 4.74GHz, exceeding the clock speeds of typical 2026 flagship models. The phone also includes a dedicated RedCore R4 co-processor that manages audio, haptic feedback, and visual effects independently, ensuring the main CPU remains focused during gaming sessions.

The display features a 6.85-inch BOE X10 OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, reaching peak brightness levels of 1,800 nits. It supports a 3,000Hz touch sampling rate, and capacitive shoulder triggers on the phone's frame respond at 520Hz, attributes designed to enhance performance in competitive gaming. The front-facing 16MP camera is positioned beneath the display to maintain an uninterrupted screen surface without notches or punch-holes.

A prominent aspect of the Red Magic 11S Pro is its AquaCore cooling system, which integrates a 24,000 RPM internal fan, a vapor chamber measuring 13,116 mm², and a circulating loop filled with a non-conductive fluorinated liquid. This liquid cooling loop is visible through a transparent back panel, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. The long-term durability of this cooling mechanism remains to be evaluated, as no third-party data is currently available.

The device is powered by a 7,500mAh battery supporting 80W wired and wireless charging, along with reverse charging capabilities for other devices. Its rear camera setup is flat and bump-free, combining a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization and a 50MP ultrawide lens. The phone operates on Red Magic OS 11.5 based on Android 16 and holds an IPX8 rating for water resistance.

Pricing and sales details

According to LatestLY, the Red Magic 11S Pro is offered in two configurations:

• 12GB RAM with 256GB storage, priced at $849 / £709 / €799, available only in the Nightfreeze finish

• 16GB RAM with 512GB storage, priced at $949 / £799 / €899, available in Nightfreeze or Subzero finishes

Both versions are sold exclusively through the official REDMAGIC store. In the US, carrier partnerships are limited, and compatibility with 5G bands on T-Mobile and Verizon has not been confirmed, which may be a consideration for buyers prioritizing network performance. Consumers in the UK benefit from standard warranty protections in addition to manufacturer coverage.

Gizmochina reported that pre-orders began on June 9, with general availability starting the following day. The Red Magic 11S Pro aims to be a competitive option within the gaming phone segment, contingent on the reliability of its innovative cooling system over time.
