This is you and the coolest, most attractive, coolest, cutest, sexiest and most attractive gaming phone released this year: Red Magic 11 Pro. Welcome to the video review of a beautiful and cool phone, the Red Magic 11 Pro from the ZTE brand, a sub-branch of Nubia. A phone that has everyone talking about this year; because of this Liquid Cooling system that we will get to later. Without further ado, let’s get to the review of the RedMagic 11 Pro gaming phone.
Design Review of the Red Magic 11 Pro Gaming Phone
The first part is the design section. It’s not a phone; it’s a city of games!, It’s beauty!, It’s charm! Especially in this green color that we have before us. A combination of silver, different shades of silver, logos, color and light, this liquid cooling, RGB fan, cameras. A combination that no matter how much you look at it, you won’t get tired of it.
It only has one bug, and that is that it leaves a lot of fingerprint marks on it. Otherwise, look at the camera protrusion; we don’t have any! That means there are zero camera protrusions. That means it’s wrong to say camera protrusion, you should say no camera protrusion! The cameras are on the same level. Then the Snapdragon logo is on the top, this side has the word Red Magic written on it, and it’s really beautiful. Then there’s Gorilla Glass on the back, which I wish wouldn’t leave fingerprint marks on it.
The phone is made of aluminum all around; aluminum that has been reinforced a bit. Aluminum that is sometimes used in the aerospace industry. Its feature is that it can conduct heat better than itself.
- Bottom of the phone: Type-C port, SIM card tray, speaker, microphone (2), antenna line.
- Right edge: There’s a desk in it until morning! There are 2 Air Triggers on the top and bottom, which also have lighting in them, which is very attractive. A power button and volume up and down are here. This red button with a carbon fiber phase (it’s not carbon fiber, it’s metal) is a cool feeling; when you activate it, that is, you hit it, it goes into its gaming mode and you go there and fly directly in games. You can customize this, fly in different places, it’s up to you (I’ll tell you later in the user interface).
- Top of the phone: 2 antenna lines, 3.5 mm jack (I go to it every day of the week), on the left is the fan outlet and a buzzer!
A Game Mode: The way it says Game Mode. This is so that you can connect to some gadgets like additional cooling fans or handles, it connects to the phone here and you can see a recess with 2 RGB lights.
The front panel houses a very attractive flat display that has a selfie camera with no notch; Nothing! The selfie camera is under the display. That is, if the background is white, you will see that there is no trace of a cutout, notch, dynamic island, and all that. A display that takes up more than 90% of this front panel and the bezels are small, without the slightest disturbance.
The interesting thing about this design is that this phone is IPX8 certified; that is, it is not dust-resistant, but it is water-resistant. The only thing we could do was spray it with water twice, but foreign YouTubers who do not have financial problems (the companies send the phones to them themselves), put water in the phone from here and took it from there! And for a phone that has a fan and so many holes and is so attractive, the IPX8 certification seems unique to me.
The cassette design, flat, a bit large but incredibly handy for gamers, is incredibly aesthetically pleasing and in my opinion one of the most aggressive, deadly and aggressive designs you can see on phones this year is on this phone; especially with this cool and funny liquid cooling shape that makes everyone excited.
Every day you can wake up to this, look at it, say: Wow! What a beautiful world and start your day!
Red Magic 11 Pro phone screen review
Let’s move on to the next section, the screen section. Where we are faced with one of the best gaming displays. An OLED display that has 144 Hz, 1 billion colors, Dolby Vision and HDR10 Plus and all this and gives you 1800 nits of brightness. The most important thing is that it has no borders.
In terms of black depth, quality, sharpness, and vibrancy, it’s a really clean, crisp display that feels great. This phone is amazing to look at. I’ll say it again, the fact that the selfie camera is under the display on a gaming phone is great.
Review of the battery performance of the Red Magic 11 Pro gaming phone
The next part is the battery section; where the 7500 mAh silicon carbon battery is inside this phone. If you don’t use it for gaming (which if you don’t use it for gaming and you buy this phone, you’re probably screwed!), if you don’t use it for gaming, it will give you 12 hours of screen time; that is, it will give you 2 days of charging.
But for heavy gaming use, when the liquid cooling, this fan, everything is active, you are on the highest game settings and you can play with it for 5-4 hours non-stop without charging it and it is really unique.
It is really interesting in terms of charging. It is not unique because the OnePlus 15 has better charging performance than this phone, but this is a gaming phone. Almost an hour of cold-off reduces its charge by about 10-11%.
And another thing it has is that the adapter in the box is 80 watts. It takes about an hour to fully charge. Again, the charging speed is slower than the OnePlus 15 (because the adapter is 20 watts less), but since it’s in the box and it charges the phone in less than an hour, it works.
My wireless charging is 80 watts! Then Apple puts 15 watts of wireless charging in our lap, and it does us a lot of favors. You can charge it wirelessly at 80 watts. In the battery section, it has increased by 500 mAh compared to its previous generation, and this silicon carbon technology is truly unique and you can get a good charge from it.
Security section of the Red Magic 11 Pro phone
The next section is security. Where the fingerprint sensor under the display opens with incredibly fast speed.
Camera performance of the Red Magic 11 Pro phone
Let’s move on to the next section, the camera section. Where it’s not so important in a gaming phone, but we’ll cover it; you might want to take a couple of photos. It has two 50-megapixel sensors (main and ultra-wide), a depth sensor and a flash and a few lidar sensors and stuff.
- Main camera: That main 50-megapixel sensor takes good photos, it’s really cool, it’s cute. It’s a bit lacking in low light. It doesn’t give you very attractive details compared to other flagships, but it has a reasonable sharpness and dynamic range and it’s OK; that is, you can take good photos with it. But when you compare it to flagships from Samsung, OnePlus, Huawei, Apple, and so on, there’s less focus on the camera.
A Ultra-wide camera: The 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor also has distortion, it has a little less detail, but overall you can take cool photos with it. With the main camera, I’d say it’s cool. You don’t have a telephoto. - Video recording: On the other hand, the videos it takes are not very high-speed videos. By high-speed, I mean in the focus change; that is, it cannot focus very quickly, and it does not have a strange stabilizer. But it has all these gaming capabilities.
Selfie camera performance
There is a 16-megapixel selfie sensor that I think I said 10 times since the beginning of the video is under the display. It is not very good; its selfies are not good because it is under the display, you cannot expect much from it. Almost the photo it takes is a photo that comes with heavy AI processing, trying to increase the sharpness. It does not have autofocus either, your hand shakes will be a story. This selfie that I took because I took it quickly has no focus at all. Now let me try to see if I can take a steady selfie? Well, it comes with AI, beautifully watercoloring my face! It looks like I made pancakes on my face and it does not have much detail, the dynamics are not bad. Overall, it’s okay, so you shouldn’t be too sensitive about its camera.
Hardware Review of the Red Magic 11 Pro
But the next part is the part I’ve been wanting to talk about for 45 minutes! Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor; the latest and greatest processor on Android phones. Its performance in games is unparalleled; extremely low frame drops, incredibly good stability.
And do you know what the interesting thing about this phone is? This liquid cooling is a show-off! That is, it has no cooling function, meaning it can’t have much of an impact. But is Red Magic fooling us? No, it’s not. Both this liquid here are real, and it has a pump that circulates it in its heart; but the diameter and thickness of this liquid and, for example, this liquid cooling space is not so large that it has an effect on cooling. Maybe it has some effects to a very small extent.
But the biggest Vapor Chamber cooling system in any phone is on this phone. The Red Magic 11 Pro has a cooling system that is really interesting and there is a technique here where this fan rotates at 24 thousand revolutions per minute. You can count on the heat that the Vapor Chamber takes to be thrown out of the phone, and this fan tries to remove this heat from itself. This gives you incredibly stable and attractive performance in games. Of course, if you play with it for a long time, sometimes the FPS goes from 60 to 59, to 58, but it is not like it wants to bother you.
Review of the gaming capabilities of the Red Magic 11 Pro
But the interesting thing about this phone is the Gaming Mode access it gives you. In Gaming Mode, every game you play:
- From the FPS that shows you to the ping and internet speed and all the troubles you can get into is there.
- From where to customize your triggers in each game, where to place them.
The triggers are 540 Hz; that is, you point and it works. That means you can adjust your triggers and use them in games without delay. You can practically have 6 fingers, because you saw that some people play games with four fingers, now you have 2 fingers more. Of course, it’s a bit confusing for someone who hasn’t had a trigger before, and if they don’t have a trigger, using it might be a bit difficult in the first week or two (of course, not the first two weeks, but the first two or three days) until you get used to it. But once you get used to it, it’s like you’ve cheated nicely!
Speaking of cheats; the game mode itself has several modes: - For example, you can activate Night Vision, so you can see your map in night mode.
- The Aim tool, you can put different marks, the bigger the bigger, the easier it is to get an Aim in the game.
- You can increase the quality of the game.
Look at the world of tricks you can do with this phone.
Artificial Intelligence Assistant (Mora)
In addition to all this, it has an artificial intelligence called Mora. A very beautiful and serious lady, who is by your side in games (not shooting games now, but in intellectual games) as an assist. She has an AI that can solve problems for you, help you with what you are doing.
Don’t touch this lady too much because she is sensitive to your hands and your touch! If you do touch her, don’t touch certain places. There is a bit of this artificial intelligence that has been bothering our children, who are a little younger, for a few days! But this is a cool and cute artificial intelligence that you can have in different spaces and use its help.
This is really attractive from this gaming space and the originality of this gaming phone is that it is. I can almost say that it has no flaws; it is the most complete in the gaming sector, both in terms of functionality and performance (good processor and high cooling power), and in terms of the AI capabilities it has.
Review of the Red Magic 11 Pro user interface
Talking about AI capabilities; The Android 16 and Red Magic OS 11 user interface is not very advanced in terms of AI. That is, AI provides:
- For example, you can give text to make a wallpaper for you.
- You can do some privacy functions with it; it takes a series of photos for you with a trick that is hidden, for example, it is not very accessible.
- It has a series of functions such as Auto Translate and Auto Transcribe, which convert text and voice to text and vice versa.
- You can, for example, do live translation.
It has these things. In photo editing, it does not give you much editing access to separate the extra subject from the background, and there is no special AI trick in its gallery.
The user interface has a lot of customization capabilities; This means you can customize everything about this phone to suit your taste:
- You can change the side logo, for example, how fast it turns on and off, what color it should be.
- You can change the lighting (RGB) of the cooling fan.
- You can change the sound of the fan turning on.
Now, this doesn’t really have much to do with personalization, but these side lights, icons, wallpapers, and tricks are just too much. It’s the stuff of a person who loves games and likes to customize everything to their own taste.
Speaker Performance of the Red Magic 11 Pro
Let’s move on to the last section, the speaker performance section. Its speaker does not reach, for example, the flagships of Samsung, Apple, Honor, and others. It is almost like Honor; that is, it has a limited height that does not give you very attractive separation. But this phone has a 3.5 mm jack; that is, you can connect it with the cheapest headphones that have good quality from a good brand, and hear the low and high-quality sound.
Accessories of the Nubia Red Magic 11 Pro
But this was not the last section, in fact, gaming phones, especially Red Magic, can have a final section. This phone has a lot of accessories next to it; a series of gadgets that you can add. It also has its own app in the environment called Goper, which when you enter it, shows you all kinds of devices that can be connected to it; All kinds of extra cooling fans, controllers, gaming headsets, and different chargers.
I didn’t mention the battery section, naturally, gaming phones also have bypass charging technology, which this phone also uses. Bypass charging is actually a technology that, when directly connected to the power supply, does not take the charge from the battery when charging; it directly uses the electricity that comes into the phone, so it does not enter the battery space and exchange it much, so it heats up less and is less damaged.
But the point is that when you connect the cable to this phone and you are playing, one thing that happens is that your hand will probably move up and down on this socket (in the middle of the game, especially if it is shooting, you want to do this and that). This cable will come up and down in this socket, it will get damaged. It is better not to play with the phone while it is charging. Now this bypass cooling will not damage the battery, but you can destroy the socket itself.
Is the Red Magic 11 Pro gaming phone worth buying?
I’ve talked about almost everything, let’s get to the conclusion. With the money of this phone:
- You can buy an S25 Ultra.
- You can buy an iPhone 17 Pro.
- You can buy a OnePlus 15.
- You can buy a Xiaomi 17 Pro Max.
- You can buy a Redmi K90 Pro Max.
But this phone has several attractive features:
- First, it is very beautiful.
- Second, it is made for gaming.
If you want to buy a phone for gaming purposes, this is the best choice. Because gaming phones always have some annoying flaws that always exist, but for gaming it gives you everything.
You can’t compare the Redmi 11 Pro to the S25 Ultra at all; it has good performance in games, it may not get too hot in games, it has very little frame drops and stability in games, but this phone is much better than that phone in games.
The point is that if you buy this phone, you also get a lower camera. The rest of it is not much lower; that is, it is stifling in almost all its parts. Good battery, great screen, attractive design, good processor, gaming capabilities, fan and cooling and I don’t know what else, it just doesn’t have a camera. If you want to play games, I think it’s the best choice. This choice is bold, because you are buying something that is very cool.
There is no other point. I hope you liked this review, I tried to be energetic. Thank you for coming this far, I am very sincere!
