Red Magic 11S Pro launches globally with liquid cooling you can actually see
Red Magic's new 11S Pro goes on sale June 10 at $849 — roughly $450 less than the Galaxy S26 Ultra — and makes its case on sustained gaming performance rather than headline benchmark scores. The phone carries a refined liquid cooling system that circulates fluorinated coolant through a visible loop behind a transparent rear panel. Pre-orders open June 9 via the REDMAGIC Global Store; no Amazon or carrier retail placement has been confirmed.
The hardware
The 11S Pro runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version, clocked up to 4.74 GHz — a step above the standard 4.61 GHz variant. Alongside it sits Red Magic's own RedCore R4 co-processor, which handles audio, haptics, and visual effects independently to reduce load on the main chip. Per Notebookcheck, the Gen 5 can throttle to around 58% under sustained load — which is exactly what the AquaCore cooling system is built to address.
AquaCore combines a 24,000 RPM internal fan, a 13,116 mm² vapor chamber, and the fluorinated liquid loop. The result, according to Android Authority, is a phone that holds 37°C after 30 minutes of Genshin Impact — competitive with anything Samsung or OnePlus currently ships.
The AquaCore liquid cooling system circulates fluorinated coolant through a visible loop behind the transparent rear panel.
The 6.85-inch BOE X10 OLED panel hits 1.5K resolution, 144 Hz refresh, 1,800 nits peak brightness, and a 3,000 Hz touch sampling rate. Side-mounted capacitive triggers respond at 520 Hz. The 16 MP front camera sits under the display — no notch, no punch-hole.
On the back, a flat panel houses a 50 MP main camera with optical image stabilisation and a 50 MP ultrawide. For a gaming phone, that's a solid dual-camera setup.
Battery and software
The 7,500 mAh battery supports 80W wired and wireless charging — wireless charging parity with the S26 Ultra is notable at this price. Dual reverse charging lets you top up other devices either wired or wirelessly. The phone ships with Red Magic OS 11.5 based on Android 16, and carries IPX8 water resistance.
Red Magic 11S Pro is available in two colours: Nightfreeze and Subzero.
Pricing and availability
Two colours — Nightfreeze and Subzero — are available at launch:
- 12/256 GB — $849 / €799 / £709 (Nightfreeze only) - 16/512 GB — $949 / €899 / £799
That's a $100 jump over the 10S Pro, but still well below the OnePlus 15 (~$999) and Galaxy S26 Ultra (~$1,299). Sales go live June 10 exclusively through the REDMAGIC Global Store, confirms Gizmochina.
