The RedMagic 12 Pro should be available globally in November.
RedMagic has confirmed that it will be releasing the RedMagic 12 Pro globally with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset. Also packing an 185 Hz AMOLED display, the RedMagic 12 Pro will arrive next month with an 8,400 mAh battery, too.

RedMagic has just launched the RedMagic 12 Pro series in China. As is often the case, the company has wasted no time in outlining global release plans for its new flagship smartphones, too. Not only that, but it has also revealed some of the hardware underpinning the global version of the RedMagic 12 Pro.

Unsurprisingly, the company has brought across the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset from its Chinese counterpart. As a result, the RedMagic 12 Pro should easily outperform current high-end smartphones like the Xiaomi 17 Ultra or the Galaxy S26 Ultra that are sold outside China (curr. $1,154 on Amazon).

Moreover, the device will start at 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. On top of that, an 8,400 mAh battery should help the RedMagic 12 Pro outlast its peers, too. RedMagic has not confirmed yet whether global models will support up to 120 W wired charging like their Chinese counterparts, though.

Conversely, RedMagic has confirmed that global models will ship with a 185 Hz AMOLED display to surpass the RedMagic 11 Pro generation. RedMagic asserts it will make a RedMagic 12 Pro-related announcement on November 3 at 11:00 UTC.

Based on past releases, this date is unlikely to be when the RedMagic 12 Pro can be purchased, though. Instead, the terms of RedMagic's latest giveaway suggest that early bird orders will open on November 12, with general availability after November 20. Please see the company's website for more details.
