TL;DR

• JerryRigEverything tore down the REDMAGIC 11 Pro, calling it “the most powerful phone on the planet.”
• The teardown reveals the full circulating coolant loop and the largest vapor chamber he has seen in a phone.
• It survived all durability tests, booted up afterward, and even includes oil in the coolant for a lava lamp visual effect.

Some people might see a phone with visible coolant sloshing around inside it as an accident waiting to happen. However, Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything proves that the new REDMAGIC 11 Pro is anything but, as he reveals the secrets to what he calls “the most powerful phone on the planet.”

In his new video, Nelson dismantles what REDMAGIC calls the world’s first mass-produced liquid-cooled smartphone. The 11 Pro’s blue coolant can actually be seen circulating the back when the phone is switched on, pumped by a microscopic piezoelectric motor that pushes liquid through a sealed loop. The system works in tandem with a 24,000 RPM internal fan and what Nelson describes as the largest vapor chamber he’s ever seen in a phone.
