Red Magic 11 Pro: Red Magic, the gaming-centric sub-brand of ZTE, has launched the Red Magic 11 Pro as a global variant, bringing its flagship performance to international shores. The device retains the same aggressive gaming DNA from its Chinese version but has one notable difference: a smaller battery.

Display and Performance

The Red Magic 11 Pro is built for speed and precision. One gets a 6.85-inch BOE X10 FHD+ display with a 144 Hz refresh rate and up to a 3,000 Hz touch sampling rate, making the device perfect for competitive gaming. The screen hits up to 1,800 nits of peak brightness and uses Gorilla Glass for protection. Inside, it packs a Snapdragon Elite Gen 5 chipset, coupled with as much as 24GB LPDDR5T RAM and 1TB UFS 4.1 Pro storage – the right combination to provide blistering performance across both games and apps.

Camera Setup and Selfie Tech

On the back, the Red Magic 11 Pro sports a 50MP OmniVision OV50E40 main sensor, another 50MP OV50D40 secondary camera, and a 2MP macro camera. Up front, sitting neatly hidden under the display, is a 16MP under-screen sensor that enables a really uninterrupted viewing experience.

Cooling System Built for Intense Gaming

To regulate the heat from extended gaming, the AquaCore Cooling System is integrated into the phone, which combines under-screen copper foil, high-conductivity graphene, and a 13,116 mm² vapour chamber. A mid-frame made from an aluminium alloy and a 24,000 RPM turbo fan make sure that temperatures are kept low for sustained performance without throttling.

Battery and Charging

The Chinese version comes with an 8,000mAh battery with 120W charging, while the global variant features a 7,500mAh battery with 80W wired and 80W wireless fast charging. That's indeed a reduction, but it still promises long playtime with quick top-ups.
