Then RedMagic showed up with an 8,000 mAh battery, an overclocked Snapdragon, and a transparent back that makes every other flagship look boring.<\/p>\n<h2>What RedMagic just announced<\/h2>\n<p>The RedMagic 11S Pro series is now official in China, and the spec sheet is wild in the best way possible. The launch lands on the brand&#8217;s eighth anniversary, and according to the official press release, it is a mid-gen refresh of last year&#8217;s RedMagic 11 Pro, which we called one of the coolest phones we&#8217;ve ever tested, both literally and metaphorically.There are three variants in play. China gets the 11S Pro and 11S Pro+, and a global 11S Pro is set to arrive later. The Chinese base model carries the largest battery in RedMagic&#8217;s history at 8,000 mAh, paired with 80W wired and wireless charging.<\/p>\n<p>\n            The RedMagic 11S Pro (China variant). | Images by RedMagic        <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>A chipset that should sound very familiar<\/h2>\n<p>Both Chinese models pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version, clocked at up to 4.74 GHz. If that number rings a bell, it should, because it is the same overclocked chip Samsung uses inside the Galaxy S26 Ultra in its benchmark runs.<br \/>\nThe difference is the cooling. Where Samsung relies on a vapor chamber and good vibes, RedMagic packs in a 24,000 RPM fan, a 4D vapor chamber, and Composite Liquid Metal 3.0, all behind an IPX8-rated chassis. This chip runs seriously hot in phones with conventional cooling, so RedMagic&#8217;s overbuilt setup is doing real work.<\/p>\n<h3>The headline specs<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>6.85-inch BOE X10 AMOLED, 1.5K resolution, 144 Hz refresh rate<\/li>\n<li>50 MP main, 50 MP ultra-wide, 2 MP macro, plus a 16 MP under-display selfie camera<\/li>\n<li>RedMagic OS 11.5 based on Android 16<\/li>\n<li>520 Hz shoulder triggers, 3,000 Hz touch sampling<\/li>\n<li>Wi-Fi 7, NFC, and yes, a 3.5 mm headphone jack<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Pro+ in China bumps things to 24 GB of RAM, 1 TB of storage, a 7,500 mAh battery, and 120W wired charging with 80W&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonearena.com\/news\/redmagic-just-dropped-its-anniversary-phone-with-a-battery-you-wont-see-on-any-galaxy-or-iphone_id180443\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RedMagic just dropped its anniversary phone with a battery you won&#8217;t see on any Galaxy&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":249033,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/m-cdn.phonearena.com\/images\/article\/180443-wide-two_1200\/RedMagic-just-dropped-its-anniversary-phone-with-a-battery-you-wont-see-on-any-Galaxy-or-iPhone.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-249032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249032"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=249032"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249032\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":249034,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249032\/revisions\/249034"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
