REDMAGIC 11 Pro Review: Can This Be Your ONLY Phone? - [mobile] 08:58 AM EST - Feb,14 2026 - post a comment The RedMagic 11 Pro, from Nubia, reaffirms its position as a top gaming smartphone in a recent review, powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with a dedicated Redcore R4 gaming chip and advanced AquaCore liquid cooling system featuring a high-speed turbofan. It introduces welcome upgrades like 80W wireless charging (a first for the series), alongside 80W wired charging for its massive 7,500mAh battery that delivers exceptional endurance for extended gaming sessions. The device sports a seamless 6.85-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, under-display front camera, and no prominent camera hump, while offering IPX8 water resistance and pressure-sensitive gaming triggers. Performance tests show blistering benchmark scores and smooth gameplay even in demanding titles, though cameras remain merely adequate for a gaming-focused phone. Priced competitively, the RedMagic 11 Pro earns high praise as an improved "king of gaming phones" for enthusiasts seeking raw power without flagship-level camera compromises.
