Nubia has officially launched the RedMagic 11 Pro and RedMagic 11 Pro+ in China, marking the arrival of two powerhouse gaming smartphones designed to take on the likes of Asus ROG Phone 8 and Lenovo Legion Y90. These devices push mobile gaming to the next level with cutting-edge hardware, aggressive designs, and advanced cooling technologies that scream performance from every angle.
Bold Design and Immersive Display
The RedMagic 11 Pro series brings a futuristic design aesthetic that immediately identifies it as a gaming phone. It sports sharp lines, RGB accents, and an almost bezel-free front, offering an immersive visual experience. The bezels measure just 1.25mm, giving the phone a modern and symmetrical look.
Both models feature a 6.85-inch BOE X10 AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and an ultra-smooth 144Hz refresh rate, ensuring buttery-smooth motion during gaming and daily use. What makes the panel even more impressive is its under-display front camera, providing a completely uninterrupted viewing experience with an astounding 95.3% screen-to-body ratio.
Physically, both phones maintain a premium feel, measuring 8.9mm thick and weighing 230 grams. The standard RedMagic 11 Pro is available in Dark Knight and Silver Winged War God finishes. Meanwhile, the RedMagic 11 Pro+ ups the visual flair with three versions — a regular Dark Knight and two transparent editions called Transparent Silver Wing and Transparent Dark Knight. The transparent models come with customizable LED lighting on the rear panel, giving gamers a chance to personalize their phone’s look to match their setup.
Unmatched Performance and Thermal Management
Under the hood, both the RedMagic 11 Pro and Pro+ are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Elite chipset, paired with Nubia’s in-house R4 gaming chip. This dual-chip setup ensures smooth gameplay, reduced latency, and efficient thermal control even under extreme loads.
The devices offer configurations of up to 24GB of LPDDR5T RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 Pro storage, making them some of the most powerful Android smartphones of 2025. Whether you’re streaming, multitasking, or playing high-end titles like Genshin Impact or PUBG Mobile, performance will remain consistently fast and fluid.
To maintain top-tier performance during marathon gaming sessions, Nubia has implemented an active cooling fan and a liquid metal VC chamber in both models. The RedMagic 11 Pro+ goes one step further with a pulsating water cooling engine, a first-of-its-kind feature that enhances heat dissipation dramatically. This innovation helps maintain optimal temperatures even during extended 4K gameplay or VR streaming.
Both models run on RedMagic OS 11, based on Android, with gaming-specific optimizations, customizable triggers, and AI-driven performance enhancements. Players can tweak CPU and GPU output, fan speeds, and RGB lighting to match their gaming style.
Camera Setup
While the RedMagic 11 series focuses on gaming, Nubia hasn’t ignored photography. Both models come with a dual-camera system featuring a 50MP primary sensor and a 50MP ultra-wide lens. On the front, there’s a 16MP under-display camera, ensuring a seamless full-screen experience without a punch-hole or notch

The camera system offers solid performance for casual photography and social media use, though it’s clear the phones prioritize gaming and performance over professional-level photography.
Battery, Charging, and Connectivity
Battery capacity is another area where the RedMagic 11 Pro series shines. The RedMagic 11 Pro houses a massive 8,000mAh battery, supported by 80W fast charging, ensuring all-day gaming without interruption. The RedMagic 11 Pro+, while slightly smaller at 7,500mAh, offers a more versatile charging experience with 120W wired fast charging and 80W wireless charging — among the fastest in the smartphone world today.
With these charging speeds, users can recharge the Pro+ to 100% in under 20 minutes, making it ideal for competitive gamers or streamers who can’t afford downtime.
Pricing and Availability
In China, the RedMagic 11 Pro starts at around $700 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant, while the 16GB + 512GB configuration costs $800.
The RedMagic 11 Pro+ begins at $800 for the 12GB + 256GB Dark Knight version. The Transparent edition with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage is priced at $910, and the top-tier Transparent Silver Wing version with 24GB RAM and 1TB storage costs $1,080.
Given these specifications, the RedMagic 11 Pro series is not just a gaming phone — it’s a technological statement. With its bold design, advanced cooling system, and unmatched performance, it sets a new benchmark for mobile gaming in 2025.
If you’re a mobile gamer or performance enthusiast, the RedMagic 11 Pro and Pro+ deserve your attention — these phones prove that gaming smartphones can be powerful, stylish, and future-ready all at once.
