An advertisement for the launch of the REDMAGIC 11 Pro gaming phone. The image features three posters for the device's launch event, all showing a stylized red magic logo and the words "REDMAGIC 11 PRO" at the top. The posters showcase different concepts for the device: a blue light ring over a dark space, an orange light ring over a swirling vortex, and a blue ring over a planet. The posters also list the launch date as October 17 at 14:30. A yellow banner at the bottom reads, "REDMAGIC 11 Pro puts Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 on ice with IP68," suggesting powerful cooling and water resistance.

REDMAGIC 11 Pro puts Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 on ice with IP68

nubia has confirmed that the REDMAGIC 11 Pro series will launch on October 17.

The highlight: it’s the first smartphone in the world to combine a built-in cooling fan with full IP68 dust and water resistance. Normally, those vents make water protection impossible but REDMAGIC figured it out.

The REDMAGIC 11 Pro and its sibling, the 11 Pro+, are purpose-built for one thing: sustained, maximum performance.

  • Processor: The series will debut powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. This is the new mobile performance ceiling, designed to manage the highest graphics settings in demanding AAA titles.
  • Memory: The 11 Pro+ is expected to push the limit with configuration options reaching 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.
  • Sustained Power: This level of hardware requires a cooling system that works. The upgraded ICE-X Liquid Metal Cooling System now includes an expanded 6000mm² VC vapor chamber working in tandem with the signature 20,000 RPM internal turbo fan. The structural innovation lies in the new internal sealing, utilizing technologies like nano-hydrophobic coatings to achieve the IP68 rating without compromising airflow efficiency. This isn’t just about speed; it’s about holding peak speed for hours.

Display and Endurance: Zero Compromises

A true esports flagship demands an uninterrupted visual canvas and marathon-level endurance. REDMAGIC delivers on both fronts.

  • Display: Get ready for absolute immersion. The 11 Pro features a 6.8-inch, 1.5K AMOLED display with a blazing 144Hz refresh rate. Crucially for competitive play, it retains the Under-Display Camera (UDC) technology, eliminating cutouts and notches entirely.
  • Powerhouse Battery: Endurance anxiety is eliminated with the rumored 8,000mAh battery. Paired with 120W fast charging and the essential bypass charging feature, players can game longer and recharge faster than ever before.

With REDMAGIC 11 Pro series’ top-tier performance and IP68 durability, nubia is raising the bar for premium smartphones. Gamers, take note: on October 17, power meets protection.

REDMAGIC achieved the impossible: IP68 with an Active Cooling Fan. Which feature matters more to your gaming life?
