RedMagic 11S Pro series launches with liquid-air cooling and PC-gaming ambitions
RedMagic’s 11S Pro and 11S Pro+ launch in China today with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version, aggressive cooling and prices starting around $760.
RedMagic has made 18 May a proper gaming-phone hardware day. The Red Magic 11S Pro series has launched in China with a dual cooling system combining liquid and air cooling, a redesigned liquid channel, a 24,000rpm cooling fan and a 43-blade internal fan structure. The standard 11S Pro packs an 8,000mAh battery with 80W wired charging, while the 11S Pro+ uses a 7,500mAh battery with 120W wired and 80W wireless charging. The Pro+ also gets the full liquid cooling module aimed at more aggressive sustained performance.
RedMagic is also leaning into Steam direct connectivity through the built-in gaming space, which is interesting for players watching the phone-to-PC-gaming boundary collapse. Pricing starts at 5,499 yuan, roughly $760, but global availability remains unclear.
