Redmagic’s liquid-cooled 11S Pro arrives with upgraded Snapdragon chip

Nubia has announced the international launch of the Redmagic 11S Pro, its new flagship Android gaming phone. It’s not a significant change from the 11 Pro, which launched internationally last November, but has been upgraded to the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version.

Otherwise things look similar. There’s a large 7,500mAh battery, fast 80W charging, and a 144Hz screen with an under-display camera. The company’s AquaCore cooling returns, combining a 24,000 RPM fan with a true liquid cooling system — not the simple vapor chamber found on other phones. The big downside to the 11S Pro is that the RAM caps at 16GB and the storage at 512GB, with no sign of the 24GB+1TB configuration available for the 11 Pro. Blame RAMageddon.

The starting price has increased too, now $849 in the US, up from $749, but that’s in part thanks to a welcome simplification: Every model now includes a semi-transparent rear to show off the fluorescent liquid cooling effect, previously an optional upgrade. Sales start on June 10th, though early bird access begins from June 3rd, with the option to secure a $29 discount. The 11S Pro previously launched in China on May 18th in two distinct versions — the international version is a hybrid of the two, though is much closer in specs to China’s 11S Pro Plus.
