The Redmagic 11 Pro is set to launch globally later this month, marking a significant step forward in mobile gaming technology with its true active liquid cooling system. Priced starting at $749, this device will be available directly from Redmagic, though major US carriers will not stock it. Unlike many competitors that rely on passive vapor chambers, the 11 Pro actively circulates liquid coolant throughout its chassis to manage heat generated by intensive gaming sessions.
This advanced thermal management doesn’t stop with the liquid cooling loop. Redmagic has incorporated a waterproof cooling fan, applied liquid metal directly to the CPU, and included a vapor chamber as part of a multi-layered approach to heat dissipation. This robust cooling solution was specifically engineered to handle the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor housed within. Powering the entire system is a substantial 7,500mAh battery, which provides extended gameplay, though it is slightly smaller than the battery found in the Chinese market model.
The phone’s design caters directly to gamers. It features programmable touch-sensitive shoulder buttons for enhanced control, a dedicated headphone jack for low-latency audio, and vibrant LED lighting. A particularly appreciated design choice is the completely flush camera housing, which eliminates any wobble when the phone is placed on a flat surface.
Sales begin on November 19th. The entry-level $749 model comes in a black “Cryo” finish that conceals the internal cooling apparatus. For users who want to see the technology at work, the “Nightfreeze” black and “Cryo” silver editions feature a transparent window that showcases the liquid cooling system in action. These visually distinctive models start at $849 and also include upgrades to RAM and internal storage capacity.
