RedMagic 11S Pro: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5 & Dual Cooling Gaming Phone

Nubia Red Magic has officially announced that the Red Magic 11S Pro launch event is scheduled for May 18th at 15:00, with the theme "Wind and Water Rise • Overclocking Leads." Full real-device details have leaked out, and the Red Magic Tablet 5 Pro was also simultaneously revealed — gaming fans are going absolutely wild!

The core specs of the Red Magic 11S Pro are not hidden at all: it is equipped with the fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Edition (that is, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5) + the Red Core R4 gaming dual-chip, with the CPU base clock directly overclocked to 4.74GHz, delivering maximum performance with ease.

The performance figures for this phone are very straightforward — AnTuTu benchmark scores break through 4 million directly, and the Geekbench 6 single-core score exceeds 4,000 points; whether running multiple tasks simultaneously or playing large-scale AAA games, it can maintain stable, lag-free performance.

On the storage side, there is also plenty of sincerity: paired with LPDDR5X Ultra memory and UFS 4.1 Pro flash storage, there are multiple storage combinations to choose from, whether for hardcore gamers storing large game installation packages, or for everyday users storing photos and videos — all needs can be met.

In addition, it also features the CUBE Qingtian Game Engine 3.0, supporting 2K+ 144Hz super-resolution and super-frame running simultaneously, currently covering more than 200 popular games, making in-game visuals clearer and smoother.

The Red Magic 11S Pro is the industry's only smartphone with dual wind-and-water cooling, using the same fluorinated liquid water-cooling technology found in computing servers.

This fluorinated liquid is inherently insulating and non-conductive, has especially strong thermal conductivity, and the water-cooling channels inside have undergone tens of thousands of test iterations — not only is the cooling efficiency maximized, but it is also drop-resistant and leak-proof, so there is no need to worry about liquid leakage after prolonged use.

Its cooling is not a single water-cooling system, but rather a complete engineering solution, integrating active water cooling, liquid metal, and an oversized 4D ice-grade VC; among these, the liquid metal is also an exclusive configuration in the industry.

The liquid range of this fluorinated liquid is especially wide, maintaining liquid form from -60°C to 108°C; even in extreme environments, it can operate stably, ensuring the chip consistently maintains full-power output without throttling due to heat.

In fact, the previous generation Red Magic 11 Pro had already adopted the dual wind-and-water cooling design, featuring the active cooling fan Yufeng 4.0, supporting IPX8 waterproofing, with the fan airflow module independently designed, and also equipped with a pulsating water-cooling engine — the Red Magic 11S Pro this time can be considered an upgrade and optimization built on that foundation.

In terms of appearance design, the Red Magic 11S Pro continues the deuterium-reinforced transparent and water-cooling visualization design, with two colorways in total: Deuterium Transparent Silver Wing and Deuterium Transparent Dark Night, both with especially high recognizability.

The back panel of the body allows you to see the blue water-cooling ring directly, the side frame is paired with RGB flowing light effects, and at the same time layered with nano-level embossed star-trail texture, giving the transparent body more depth and dimension, with the gaming atmosphere fully maximized.

Red Magic Gaming Phone General Manager Jiang Chao also stated that the current smartphone market is "too fruity," and that the Red Magic 11S Pro will carry transparent design all the way through, letting the water cooling truly run visibly inside the transparent body, satisfying the personalized needs of gaming players.

It uses a 6.85-inch AMOLED true full-screen display, supports an under-display camera, has no cutouts of any kind, achieves a screen-to-body ratio of 95.3%, and delivers an especially outstanding visual experience.

This screen has a refresh rate of 144Hz, peak brightness can reach 2700 nits, the bezels are very narrow, touch response is precise with no trailing, and whether playing games or scrolling through videos, the experience is excellent — it is also the only gaming flagship on the market this year to adopt a true full-screen form factor.

The Red Magic 11S Pro has a built-in 8000mAh extra-large battery, supports hundred-watt-class wired fast charging and 80W wireless fast charging, and also features bypass charging technology — charging while gaming will not affect the gaming experience, with no need to worry about heat or lag.

It is also equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack, allowing direct connection of wired earphones without an additional adapter, meeting gaming users' requirements for audio latency; for everyday photography, its imaging system can also meet basic needs.

In addition to the Red Magic 11S Pro handset, a tablet product was also simultaneously revealed this time — that is, the Red Magic Tablet 5 Pro — however, the release date for this tablet has been delayed.

This tablet was originally planned to launch in the near term, but due to internal technical bottlenecks, the release date will be later than the Red Magic 11S Pro; the specific release date will not be announced until the Red Magic 11S Pro launch event on May 18th.

As for the reason behind the Red Magic Tablet 5 Pro's delayed release, it is most likely related to technical bottlenecks, possibly involving the adaptation of the 185Hz high-refresh-rate screen and the cooling system, as well as the stability of new luminescent materials, and the collaborative optimization of multiple cutting-edge technologies.

Nubia Red Magic officially stated that the team places great importance on the completeness of the product and has been working hard to advance the release date, in order to avoid a rushed launch that would affect the user experience — which is why the decision was made to delay the release and polish the product to its optimal state.
