RedMagic 11S Pro Review Highlights

The RedMagic 11S Pro is a gaming-focused Android phone built around Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Edition chip, a 144Hz OLED display, active cooling, and a large 7,500mAh battery.

What changes on the 11S Pro

This update to the RedMagic 11 series is a modest refresh rather than a full redesign. The main change is the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SM8850-1-AD chipset, which runs higher clocks on its main CPU cores and GPU than the version used in the earlier RedMagic 11 Pro.

That means the RedMagic 11S Pro is aimed at buyers who care most about sustained gaming output, thermal control, and fast response rather than a major shift in camera hardware or industrial design.

Core hardware and display

The phone keeps a 6.85-inch AMOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, 1216 x 2688 resolution, 2592Hz PWM dimming, and peak brightness rated at 1800 nits. The flat design and transparent rear panel also return, along with pressure-sensitive shoulder zones built for gaming input.

RedMagic also keeps the built-in cooling fan and liquid cooling setup, which remains one of the main reasons this device stands apart from standard flagship phones.

Battery, charging, and extras

The RedMagic 11S Pro includes a 7,500mAh battery with 80W wired charging, 80W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging. Other hardware features listed in the review include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, an infrared port, stereo speakers, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

That combination gives the phone a practical edge for long gaming sessions, media use, and users who still want features many mainstream flagships have removed.

Camera setup

On the back, the phone uses a 50MP main camera and a 50MP ultra-wide camera, plus an auxiliary depth unit. The front camera is a 16MP under-display sensor. The camera system is not presented as the main selling point, but it covers the expected basics for a gaming device in this class.

In-box bundle

The retail package includes the phone, a quick start guide, a transparent protective case, a USB-A to USB-C cable, and, notably, an 80W charger in the European package. That is still useful at a time when many brands leave chargers out of the box.

Overall position

The RedMagic 11S Pro looks like a targeted refresh that keeps the formula familiar while adding a faster chipset. For buyers who want high refresh gaming performance, active cooling, a large battery, and gaming-specific hardware, it stays focused on the right areas without changing too much elsewhere.
