Having deeply cultivated mobile esports for a full eight years, Red Magic has been constantly breaking through itself and refreshing the industry ceiling along the way. On May 18th, on the occasion of the brand's eighth anniversary, Red Magic directly made a big move, officially launching the brand-new flagship — the Red Magic 11S Pro series.

The new device focuses on "Wind and Water Rising · Overclocking Leadership," with comprehensive upgrades across performance output, cooling capability, screen quality, cross-platform gaming, aesthetic appearance, and AI intelligent experience. In simple terms: Red Magic this time directly maxed out the top configuration, creating a truly all-capable, all-scenario professional esports powerhouse for gamers.

From the launch of the very first Red Magic gaming phone to today, Red Magic has always set its sights on a single goal: Win More Games, helping players win every match. Many flagship smartphones on the market simply pile up hardware specs blindly, but Red Magic is different. Having deeply cultivated the esports track for eight years, Red Magic understands players' real pain points best, from flagship chips, top-tier active cooling, high-refresh esports screens, to precision touch control, self-developed gaming systems, and a complete set of esports peripherals, Red Magic has built a complete, professional mobile esports solution, which is also why it has earned the recognition of countless hardcore players worldwide.

Performance Maxed Out, the Android Ceiling Is Redefined

RedMagic 11S Pro Review

For gaming phones, performance is always the hard truth. This time, the Red Magic 11S Pro series directly elevates mobile performance to an entirely new level.

The new device globally debuts the fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Edition chip; this chip is not an ordinary flagship chip — it is the high-quality-bin version that has been carefully hand-selected from the same batch of chips by the manufacturer. The CPU maximum clock frequency soars to 4.74GHz, the AnTuTu benchmark score easily breaks 4.6 million, firmly dominating the top of the Android performance rankings. Whether it is large-scale mobile games, running 3A titles on a PC emulator, or enabling high-load functions such as super-resolution and super-frame, everything is handled with ease, smooth throughout with zero pressure.

Nowadays, many smartphone manufacturers are quietly reducing specifications and downgrading components in order to cut costs. But Red Magic goes against the grain, insisting on providing players with the top configuration, genuinely satisfying hardcore players' pursuit of ultimate performance.

Having a powerful chip alone is not enough; being able to sustain performance is the key. Red Magic has specifically developed a complete performance management solution: the self-developed Red Core R4 esports chip, working collaboratively with the main chip, is responsible for touch optimization, RGB lighting control, image rendering, and super-resolution and super-frame processing, perfectly resolving issues of stuttering and frame drops under high-load gaming; paired with the newly upgraded CUBE Qiangtian Gaming Engine 3.0, which relies on AI intelligent game frame rate sensing to automatically allocate computing power, achieving a perfect balance among high frame rate, low power consumption, and low heat generation.

Currently, Red Magic has already conducted dedicated adaptation and optimization for over 200 popular games; the so-called "overclocking leadership" is no longer an empty slogan, but a smooth gaming experience that players can genuinely feel.

Breaking Down the Mobile-PC Barrier! Phones Can Now Play 3A Titles Anytime

The biggest highlight of the new device, bar none: bridging the mobile and PC gaming ecosystems, achieving true cross-platform gaming freedom.

Relying on Red Magic's self-developed translation engine, it directly breaks through the underlying restrictions between different systems, globally debuting the Steam Direct Connect feature for the first time in the industry. The operation is super simple — players open the gaming space, scan the QR code to log in to their Steam account, and can then sync cloud saves and their game library; account and save data are mutually linked in both directions, allowing players to enjoy PC 3A titles on their phone anytime and anywhere, completely breaking free from the constraints of computers and physical locations.

In addition, the new device also supports free switching between multiple form factors, with playability directly maxed out:

Connect an esports controller, and it becomes a portable handheld console;

Pair with keyboard and mouse peripherals, and it transforms into a lightweight gaming laptop;

Cast to a display, and it directly becomes a desktop gaming console.

One device, covering four form factors: mobile gaming, handheld console, PC, and home console. This is no longer simply a gaming phone — it directly redefines the esports flagship of the new era!

Wind-and-Water Dual Cooling Comprehensively Upgraded, Specifically Targeting Gaming Heat and Throttling

For powerful performance to run at full capacity for a long time, top-tier cooling is indispensable, and cooling itself is Red Magic's ace strength. Red Magic is also the brand in the industry that earliest brought server-grade wind-and-water dual-cooling heat dissipation down to smartphones.

This time, the 11S Pro series sees a comprehensive upgrade to the cooling system. The entire lineup is standard-equipped with the upgraded ICE Magic Cold cooling system, integrating the Wind Riding 4.0 active fan, exclusive through-body air duct, 4D Ice-Grade VC, and composite liquid metal 3.0 — multiple cutting-edge technologies. This ultra-thin hurricane fan reaches a rotational speed of up to 24,000 r/min; while maximizing cooling efficiency, noise is controlled within 30 decibels, making it nearly inaudible during everyday use, and it also supports IPX8 water resistance — cooling, silence, and durability all at once.

The high-end Red Magic 11S Pro+, additionally features the upgraded Pulse Water Cooling Engine, adopting the same fluorinated liquid and piezoelectric ceramic micro-pump as used in AI servers, creating a quad-composite cooling structure of wind cooling + water cooling + liquid metal + VC. The cooling system works in synergy with the chip, discrete display, and gaming engine, forming a closed loop, resolving from the root cause the common problems of high temperature throttling and game stuttering on smartphones; even during prolonged high-intensity gaming, performance remains as stable as Mount Tai.

Aesthetics and Quality Both Online, Esports Appearance Enthusiasts Rejoice

While performance is maxed out, the exterior design is by no means perfunctory. The new device continues Red Magic's iconic sci-fi esports style; even with the phone body packed with a large battery, cooling fan, water-cooling module, and other hardware, the back is still achieved as completely flat with no protrusions, holding it horizontally to play games does not dig into the hand, and everyday grip comfort is directly maxed out.

In terms of color options, players are also given diverse choices:

The standard 11S Pro launches in two colorways — Dark Knight and Silver Wing Wargod — combined with orbital embossing and micro-etching craftsmanship, with a sense of premium quality directly maxed out; the 11S Pro+'s Deuterium Transparent Dark Night and Deuterium Transparent Silver Wing transparent versions allow users to directly see the internal water-cooling module, with the dynamic water flow effect delivering an atmosphere that directly bursts with character. At the same time, the body LOGO, cooling fan, and gaming shoulder buttons all support RGB lighting customization, with an exclusive esports atmosphere directly maxed out.

2.0 True Full-Screen, Unobstructed Field of View, Esports Experience Doubled

The screen is the bridge between players and the gaming world, and Red Magic this time directly arranges the top-configuration Wukong Screen 2.0 hole-free true full-screen.

A 6.85-inch oversized screen, 95.3% ultra-high screen-to-body ratio, bezels as narrow as 1.25mm, no punch hole, no notch, no obstruction — whether playing games or watching dramas and videos, the visual immersion is directly maxed out. The screen adopts BOE's X10 new luminescent material; compared to the previous generation, power consumption is reduced by 10%, service life is improved by 30%, and it is standard-equipped with 1.5K resolution + 144Hz high-refresh display.

Relying on eighth-generation under-display imaging technology + a dedicated display chip, the 16-megapixel under-display front camera has an excellent concealment effect, nearly completely invisible. This screen also passes dual-certification low blue light eye protection; the entire lineup is standard-equipped with 3D ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, taking care of esports experience, everyday use, and eye protection needs.

Plus 520Hz high-sampling independent gaming shoulder buttons — combos, aiming down sights, and positioning are all completely at will.

Audio-visual configuration is equally maxed out: symmetrical dual speakers, three microphones, a retained 3.5mm headphone jack, and an X-axis super-linear motor — directional audio and haptic feedback are directly maxed out. All the configurations that a flagship should have: Wi-Fi 7, NFC, and infrared remote control are all present; the rear triple-camera setup — 50-megapixel ultra-clear main camera + ultra-wide angle + macro lens — handles everyday photography and short-video creation with ease, truly achieving no compromise between gaming and everyday use.

AI System Comprehensively Upgraded, Professional-Grade Assistance Available to Everyone

The system is equipped with the all-new REDMAGIC OS 11.5, with the built-in Red Magic Ji Mora intelligent AI assistant. During matches, the AI tactical coach can analyze the battle situation in real time, providing professional advice on equipment builds and tactics, enabling even novices to quickly climb the rankings; the Moji Voice Proxy feature sends quick message shortcuts with one tap, simplifying in-game social interaction, allowing players to focus on the match itself.

The screen-casting assistant supports multi-level high-frame-rate casting, automatically adapting the picture ratio, saying goodbye to large black borders. Backed by comprehensive hard-core strength, the Red Magic 11S Pro series has successfully become the officially designated device for multiple top esports events, including CrossFire, Dark Zone Breakout, League of Legends Mobile, and QQ Speed Mobile, with its capabilities verified through real competition on the professional stage.
