Quick summary<\/h5>\n

RedMagic has announced an overclocked version of the 11 Pro, with more power and battery life.<\/p>\n

The phone has been launched in China and will be going global later in May.<\/p>\n

RedMagic has announced its latest Android gaming phone, the RedMagic 11S Pro, making its official debut in China. The new models aim for peak gaming power with transparent designs and visible liquid cooling systems.<\/p>\n

The new S model is a mid-life refresh, building on the RedMagic 11 Pro with an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This “Leading Edition” version of the chip matches the “for Galaxy” clock speeds of 4.74GHz to give a little extra boost over the original phone.<\/p>\n

Keeping the chip at workable heat levels is a challenge, but there’s a comprehensive cooling system to do just that. It’s called the AquaCore and here it combines a 24,000 RPM TurboFan, through-channel airflow design, a vapour chamber and liquid metal technology, all designed to ensure consistent performance under load.<\/p>\n

The RedMagic 11S Pro continues its upgrades over the existing models with an 8,000mAh battery \u2013 that’s a 500mAh increase \u2013 along with 80W charging.<\/p>\n

Power is controlled by the Energy Cube 3.0 to make sure that cooling, performance and power consumption are all coordinated.<\/p>\n

While the phone has a mostly flat design to aid grip, it features a 6.85-inch BOE AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and there’s no notch or punch hole on this screen for cameras, so you get all the space to play. There’s an under-display camera instead.<\/p>\n
