TL;DR

• The REDMAGIC 11 Pro is one of the first Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 devices to hit the market.
• It also features liquid cooling, large vapor chambers, and a built-in waterproof fan.
• Starting at $749, global sales will begin on November 19, with early-bird vouchers and discounts available beforehand.

When it comes to gaming phones, REDMAGIC has been releasing a steady stream of powerful devices that punch well above their price point, and the latest is now here to take things to the next level. The REDMAGIC 11 Pro is one of the first Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 phones to hit the market, but it has a few extra features that no phone can match.

Starting with the SoC, the 8 Elite Gen 5 is the latest and greatest on the market, with our early testing indicating a 20% bump in CPU and GPU performance in reference devices for testing. We are still actively benchmarking the REDMAGIC 11 Pro, and those gains appear to hold true in this device as well. Stay tuned for our full test results and benchmarks later this week.
