Ever considered getting a smartphone that is literally built for gaming? 

The brand REDMAGIC is ushering in a new era of smartphone gaming with its REDMAGIC 11S Pro. Built with gamers in mind, it’s changing how we view handheld gaming devices and gaming on the go. Even better, from June 3 to June 9, you can score an Early Bird Voucher for $1, which gets you $30 off, a free exclusive REDMAGIC Mora Magnet Badge and 24-hour early access before the Global Open Sale begins on June 10.

The REDMAGIC 11S Pro is a smartphone that’s built primarily for gaming. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version, and as a personal fan of Snapdragon’s Elite series myself, I can say that it improves both GPU and NPU performance. 

In numbers, it’s up to 19% CPU, 24% GPU and 39% NPU performance improvement over the REDMAGIC 10S Pro, meaning your phone will be faster and AI-powered tasks, such as performance optimization, will be better overall.  

Inside, it’s packed with the RedCore R4 gaming chip, which the brand says delivers enhanced gaming audio and visuals, as well as better haptics and more responsive feedback. 

The REDMAGIC 11S Pro offers an immersive experience, unlike traditional smartphones, which can leave you feeling disconnected from the gaming experience compared to when you’re gaming with a console. 

It’s also powered by Energy Cube 3.0, which optimizes stability, responsiveness and power efficiency during those all-night gaming sessions. In simpler terms, this is what keeps your phone’s battery lasting longer. 

One of the best features of the REDMAGIC 11S Pro is its cooling features. The brand says the upgraded AquaCore Cooling System combines active airflow and advanced liquid cooling for sustained peak performance. There’s a 24,000 RPM Turbo Fan, which improves durability, and a dual-sided raised thermal structure, which improves heat transfer efficiency by up to 50%. The 13,116-square-millimeter vapor chamber is also massive — which means there’s more surface area to move heat away from the processor, so your device won’t be hot to the touch.

There is also industry-exclusive fluorinated liquid cooling technology, AI server-grade fluorinated liquid, piezoelectric ceramic micropumps and micron-level liquid channels designed to keep your phone cool even during extended hours of gaming. Unlike traditional consoles, you’ll never feel your smartphone getting noisy or too fired up.

The BOE X10 under-display, true full-screen 2688 x 1216 display and 144Hz refresh rate make the performance on this smartphone lightning fast. Visuals will appear clean and bright, even under bright light, thanks to up to 1,800 nits global peak brightness, and the high refresh rate means your favorite games won’t lag or freeze.

I personally also love the transparent rear panel. It allows the user to look inside the cooling system and is vaguely reminiscent of gaming CPUs with a transparent RGB-equipped design. The phone also features dynamic RGB lighting, a flat dual-sided structure and no camera bump for enhanced grip and comfort.

Privacy is great, too. The phone features a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for faster unlocking, so your phone is almost accessible only to you. The phone also features SGS and TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light certification, 2,592Hz PWM dimming and DC dimming for improved eye comfort.

This smartphone offers a 7,500mAh high-capacity battery, as well as up to 80W ultra-fast wireless charging, so you’ll keep gaming for hours without losing steam. In contrast, most smartphones on the market only have a battery up to 5,000mAh. 

The battery also supports wired and wireless reverse charging, so you can even charge accessories like earbuds through this phone. There’s intelligent power optimization, too, which helps make it work smarter, not harder.

The smartphone comes equipped with an optimized haptic motor system for stronger tactile feedback and an upgraded stereo speaker chamber. The 520Hz ultra-responsive shoulder triggers also mean you’ll be able to play first-person shooters and MOBA (like League of Legends) games with ease.

While the REDMAGIC 11S Pro is made for gaming, it’s also not a bad phone. It has a 50MP main camera with OIS (optimal image stabilization)to reduce blur and assist in low-light conditions. It also features a 50MP ultra-wide camera, plus a 16MP front-facing camera. This means you’ll be able to video call your friends with ease and also capture memories on the go. Enhanced imaging algorithms also help improve sharpness, color accuracy and clarity. You can even livestream on your phone.

If you’re looking for a smartphone that’s built entirely for gaming and basically functions like a mini gaming computer, this is the pick for you. It’s quite literally your larger gaming setup compressed into one portable device.

Don’t forget, from June 3 to June 9, you can score an Early Bird Voucher for $1, which gets you $30 off, a free exclusive REDMAGIC Mora Magnet Badge and 24-hour early access before the Global Open Sale begins June 10.
