You know REDMAGIC as a smartphone brand that often produces smartphones with exotic cooling solutions, and the newly-debuted REDMAGIC 11 Pro is no different in that regard. In particular, it features a new “AquaCore Cooling System” that claims a world-first in using liquid cooling in the same way water cooling works in a gaming PC.
REDMAGIC 11 Pro
Let’s start with specs and numbers first. The REDMAGIC 11 Pro is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset featuring two Prime plus six Performance Oryon-based cores reaching speeds up to 4.6 GHz, coupled with up to 24GB of LPDDR5T RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage. Besides the Adreno GPU for graphics duty, the chipset is coupled with REDMAGIC’s own RedCore R4 chip that deals with post-processing, upscaling, frame generation, and power management.
The AquaCore Cooling System within the smartphone involves fluorinated liquid cooling, and you can actually see the system at work with some parts of the pipes exposed on the body, cooling both the chipset (CPU) and battery in one loop. Pair that with a super large vapor chamber, liquid metal thermal interface, and a 24,000 RPM miniature exhaust fan that actively expels heat, and that should give the Oryon CPUs a lot of thermal headroom to work with.
On the display side, the REDMAGIC 11 Pro features a 6.85-inch BOE X10 AMOLED display with a 2688 x 1216 resolution, 144Hz refresh rate (3000Hz touch sampling rate), and up to 1800 nits peak brightness. Under it lies a 16MP under-screen camera that stays hidden from plain sight, while on the flip side, you get a pair of 50MP cameras for wide and ultrawide, along with a third 2MP camera. Charging its 7,500mAh battery can be done with or without cables, both supporting 80W of charging power.
The REDMAGIC 11 Pro will be available in Malaysia starting November 10, 2025, through official stores on Shopee, Lazada, TikTok, and the REDMAGIC website. The 12GB+256GB Cryo model is priced at RM3,399, while the 16GB+512GB and 24GB+1TB variants, available in Nightfreeze and Subzero finishes, are priced at RM3,999 and RM4,999 respectively.
