The General Manager of RedMagic Gaming Phone Products recently commented on Weibo about the iPhone 17 series’ VC vapor chamber cooling solution, considering it only an “introductory lesson in cooling,” and revealed that the RedMagic 11 Pro will be equipped with an active cooling fan and disruptive “black technology for cooling,” continuing to lead the development of mobile phone cooling technology.

The General Manager of RedMagic pointed out that although the iPhone 17 series added a VC vapor chamber for the first time, it lacks a more efficient active cooling system and still faces heating challenges under heavy gaming scenarios. He stated that RedMagic had already matured in applying VC vapor chamber technology many years ago, and the upcoming RedMagic 11 Pro will once again break through in cooling.

Apple’s cooling upgrade is still following the trend. The iPhone 17 Pro series for the first time adopts VC vapor chamber technology, a cooling solution that conducts heat through the principle of phase change. This technology allows devices to maintain lower temperatures under high-load tasks, with chip core temperatures even reducing by 14℃, effectively alleviating heating problems during long-time use.

However, RedMagic believes this is only an improvement in passive cooling technology. Compared with RedMagic’s long-term “active cooling + passive cooling” combined solution, a single VC vapor chamber still has limitations in extreme scenarios. Apple’s cooling upgrade is regarded as catching up with the Android camp’s technology developed over many years.

RedMagic 11 Pro cooling technology makes another breakthrough. According to leaks, the RedMagic 11 Pro will continue the composite liquid metal cooling + turbo fan solution and debut disruptive “black technology for cooling.” The new device may be equipped with an upgraded “ICE Magic Cooling System,” where a micron-level VC vapor chamber works together with a high-speed centrifugal fan, lowering core temperatures by up to 5℃ under high-load scenarios.

Even more noteworthy, the RedMagic 11 Pro is expected to add IP68 dustproof and waterproof functions while maintaining strong cooling performance. This will break the traditional limitation that phones with active fans are difficult to achieve a high protection level.

Active cooling remains the benchmark for gaming phones. RedMagic has always adhered to the active cooling technology route, with its turbo fan spinning at up to 23,000 RPM, combined with composite liquid metal cooling technology, effectively controlling body temperature during high-load gaming. Tests show that after running large-scale games for one hour, the body temperature can be controlled at around 38℃, feeling only warm and not hot to the touch. Although this active cooling solution generates some noise, RedMagic has optimized for silence, keeping noise at about 45 decibels under high load, equivalent to a person speaking softly nearby, not covering game sound effects.

The divergence of cooling technology routes is obvious. Apple’s choice of VC vapor chamber represents persistence in lightweight design, while RedMagic’s active cooling scheme pursues ultimate performance release. Both routes have advantages and meet the needs of different user groups.

The General Manager of RedMagic emphasized on Weibo: “Adding a VC vapor chamber is only doing the entry-level homework of ‘cooling’,” implying that RedMagic will continue to lead in cooling technology. According to leaks, the RedMagic 11 Pro may be equipped with an 8000mAh large battery. Combined with an efficient cooling system, it will provide longer-lasting performance output.

Smartphone cooling technology is ushering in a new round of innovation. Apple’s introduction of the VC vapor chamber for the first time marks that mainstream flagships are beginning to pay attention to cooling issues, while professional gaming phones like RedMagic are moving toward more efficient active cooling solutions.
