RedMagic 11S Pro’s global countdown starts after its China launch
RedMagic’s liquid-cooled gaming phone series has launched in China, while the international launch page now points to a 27 May announcement.
RedMagic’s 11S Pro series is now one of the loudest gaming-phone hardware stories of the week. The phones launched in China with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version, Red Core R4, a 6.85-inch 1.5K OLED screen at 144Hz, a 24,000rpm cooling fan and a dual liquid-air cooling system. The standard 11S Pro packs an 8,000mAh battery with 80W charging, while the Pro+ uses a 7,500mAh battery with 120W wired and 80W wireless charging.
RedMagic’s international page now points to a 27 May announcement and a sign-up campaign. For serious mobile gamers, the big question remains sustained performance. RedMagic can win the spec-sheet war; the real test is long-session heat, battery drain and how much of the PC-style gaming promise feels practical.
