Professional-Grade Gaming Phones: RedMagic 11 Pro+ Redefines the Experience

Professional-level gaming smartphones once faced fierce competition, but only a few brands have endured to this day. As one of them, RedMagic has never stood still — instead, it boldly adopts new technologies to continually create superior gaming experiences for mobile gamers. The RedMagic 11 Pro+ innovatively introduces dual active cooling combining air and liquid systems, delivering exceptional performance in game stability and heat control — easily handling any modern title.

Dual Active Cooling (Water + Air): Master Every Game

Compared to other gaming platforms, smartphones face many limitations, and overheating is one of them. RedMagic, known for active air-cooling phones, already held an advantage in temperature control, but as game graphics evolve, better cooling is still necessary. The RedMagic 11 Pro+ adds a pulsating liquid cooling system on top of its traditional fan cooling.

This liquid cooling system works similarly to PC water cooling, though not identical in structure — it mainly helps even out heat rather than directly contacting the chipset. When gaming, the chipset area gets much hotter than other parts, especially the left side near the touch area. The right side remains cooler. The pulsating water-cooling system redistributes the heat from the left to the right using coolant to accelerate thermal transfer, then dissipates it over a wider surface.

For safety, RedMagic applies low-temperature bonding to ensure sealing, uses polymer cushioning for drop resistance, and fills the system with AI server-grade coolant that’s non-conductive, stable, and remains liquid between -60°C and 108°C. A mini ceramic pump provides 100KPa pressure with only 80mW of power consumption, minimizing battery impact.

Flagship Hardware + Superior Optimization

With this enhanced cooling, the RedMagic 11 Pro+ unleashes its full power. Equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Edition, LPDDR5T RAM, and UFS 4.1 Pro storage, it ranks among the industry’s top specifications — scoring 4.26 million points in AnTuTu.

It also supports new features like the Adreno dedicated cache for faster speeds and lower power consumption, and Game Ready custom drivers installable via APK for specific titles.

Real-World Gaming Performance

For actual testing, we chose demanding games like Honkai: Star Rail at high resolution. The average frame rate was 60.94 fps, with a 1% low frame rate of 58.51 fps, delivering near-perfect consistency. Average power consumption was 5.59W, nearly 25% lower than the previous generation despite the added water-cooling power draw.

Front temperature reached 36.2°C, back 37.2°C — an astonishing result. Even during long gaming sessions (Honor of Kings, PUBG Mobile, Genshin Impact), heat buildup was minimal, and the fan was often silent. After one hour, body temperature stayed under 40°C, providing silent cooling and a comfortable experience.

The RedMagic R4 chip enhances graphics and reduces frame delay by 33%, supporting 2K + 144Hz super-resolution and 200+ games with ultra-frame concurrency.

7500mAh Battery + 120W Fast Charging: Power That Lasts

Battery life is crucial for gamers. The RedMagic 11 Pro+ features a massive 7500mAh battery. In real-world tests:

  • Genshin Impact: 13% drain per hour

  • Honkai: Star Rail: 14% per hour
    This translates to 6–7 hours of gaming on a full charge.

The 120W wired charging recharges 18% in 5 minutes, giving an extra hour of gaming. It reaches 100% in 47 minutes (54 minutes total including trickle). Charging ranks fourth in 2025, with higher capacity than faster rivals.

It also supports 80W wireless charging and bypass charging to play while plugged in without heat buildup. The dual cooling system works during charging to accelerate battery cooling — especially effective in wireless mode.

Transparent Flat Design, Cyber Aesthetic, and IPX8 Waterproofing

Design-wise, the RedMagic 11 Pro+ maintains its flat transparent aesthetic, delivering both visual appeal and ergonomic comfort. Its fully flat back prevents wobbling on tables. Inside, white coolant fluid flows visibly when liquid cooling activates — creating a futuristic, cyber-tech visual effect more striking than RGB lighting.

The front 6.85-inch Wukong 2.0 display continues the bezel-less, punch-hole-free design, using new X10 under-display materials that ensure seamless image uniformity. Whether gaming or watching videos, the viewing experience is flawless — truly among the best smartphone displays in 2025, with 1.5K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and 1587-nit brightness.

The metallic frame houses rectangular buttons, triggers, and vents matching the industrial aesthetic. Despite open vents, it’s still IPX8 waterproof, with 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanning that works with wet hands.

Conclusion: An Unrivaled Gaming Experience

Experienced RedMagic users know that limiting smartphone performance isn’t about the chipset — it’s heat. The RedMagic 11 Pro+ overcomes this with pulsating water cooling, unlocking its full potential.

In practical tests, the new cooling system proves highly effective, letting the phone handle every game with ease. The result is better sustained performance, more aggressive tuning, and deeper hardware utilization.

For gaming enthusiasts, the RedMagic 11 Pro+ delivers an unmatched gaming experience. Beyond gaming, its display, battery, controls, haptics, audio, and connectivity are all finely tuned — but it’s the core gaming excellence that makes it the ultimate choice for players.
