Red Magic has launched its Red Magic 11S Pro series in China for its eighth anniversary, pairing Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version with a liquid cooling system, 144Hz AMOLED display, gaming-grade touch features, and Mora AI Tactical Coaching. Two models
By the time you finish tapping a controller trigger, Red Magic wants the phone to already be in the match.
The brand has officially launched the Red Magic 11S Pro series in China. marking its eighth anniversary with two phones built squarely for gaming.. The lineup includes the Red Magic 11S Pro in Matte White and Matte Black. and the Red Magic 11S Pro+ in Transparent Black and Transparent White—transparent finishes that lean into the kind of visible hardware flex many gaming phones still don’t try to hide.
At the core of both devices sits the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version. backed by Red Magic’s RedCore R4 gaming chip and Energy CUBE 3.0.. Red Magic says the combination is designed for sustained high-frame-rate play, including demanding mobile titles and cross-platform gameplay.. The message is consistent with how the brand typically positions its flagships. built around pushing performance rather than dressing it up as a “normal” mainstream device.
That performance focus shows up most clearly in the cooling story.. The Red Magic 11S Pro series uses the company’s AquaCore Cooling System. described as a liquid cooling system meant to keep performance stable during long gaming sessions.. Red Magic has used liquid cooling before. with its global Red Magic 11 Pro marketing calling it the world’s first mass-produced smartphone with liquid cooling—now carried into the 11S Pro series.
The rest of the hardware follows the same competitive logic.. The phones use a 6.85-inch BOE X10 AMOLED true full-screen display with a 144Hz refresh rate and an under-display camera.. For touch control. Red Magic says it delivers up to 3000Hz instantaneous touch sampling. along with 520Hz shoulder triggers designed to bring a built-in controller-like experience.
On the software side, the devices run Red Magic OS 11.5, which introduces Mora AI Tactical Coaching for in-game assistance.. Red Magic also keeps the presentation overtly gamer-forward. pairing RGB lighting and transparent finishes (on the Pro+ models) with the shoulder triggers and the AI coaching package.
Battery and charging options split the lineup by priority.. The Red Magic 11S Pro carries an 8. 000mAh battery with 80W fast charging. while the Red Magic 11S Pro+ uses a 7. 500mAh battery with 120W fast charging and up to 80W wireless charging.. In Red Magic’s framing. the standard Pro leans toward endurance. and the Pro+ leans harder into quicker top-ups and wireless charging flexibility.
The pricing reflects that separation.. The Red Magic 11S Pro starts at 5499 yuan for the 12GB + 256GB model (roughly $800).. The Red Magic 11S Pro+ begins at 6199 yuan (about $910) for the 12GB + 256GB version. and rises to 7999 yuan (about $1. 175) for the 16GB + 1TB model.. Both models are already on sale in China, while global availability details will be announced on May 27, 2026.
The pattern across the specs is hard to miss: Red Magic pairs the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version with its RedCore R4 gaming chip and Energy CUBE 3.0. then backs it with AquaCore liquid cooling and high responsiveness hardware like 3000Hz touch sampling and 520Hz shoulder triggers—turning the same performance promise into display. controls. cooling. and software coaching.
For now, the competition-minded bundle is confined to China launches and pricing tiers, with the bigger question—how far the brand will take this hardware flex outside its home market—held over until May 27, 2026.
