The REDMAGIC 11S Pro is official, and it brings an overclocked Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor to a flagship Android gaming phone with liquid cooling. The REDMAGIC 11 Pro first introduced the liquid cooling system, and the one inside the 11S Pro is complete with 24,000 RPM cooling fan paired with a liquid cooling loop and a vapor chamber. REDMAGIC is pulling out all the stops to keep the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 “Leading Version” chilled, which is the same overclocked variant we saw in the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Specifically, the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor inside the REDMAGIC 11S Pro reaches CPU clock speeds of up to 4.74GHz. The standard version of the chip maxes out at CPU clock speeds of 4.61GHz. Meanwhile, REDMAGIC is claiming the 11S Pro CPU is 19% faster, the GPU is 24% faster, and the NPU is 39% faster than the 10S Pro. The last-generation model the 11S Pro is replacing had an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and didn’t offer liquid cooling.
REDMAGIC says the liquid cooling system improves heat transfer efficiency by up to 50%, and will particularly help keep the phone running smoothly during gaming sessions. It not only keeps processor heat down, but also cools the 7,500mAh battery. This is a 450mAh increase compared to the REDMAGIC 10S Pro. Charging is quick using a cable or a wireless charging pad, as the REDMAGIC 11S Pro can reach 80W wireless charging speeds.
