The RedMagic 11S Pro promises flagship performance at an affordable price.
The brand new RedMagic 11S Pro with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, water cooling and fan is said to offer better performance than most flagships, but still only costs as much as a high-quality mid-range smartphone. The smartphone's display does not have a notch or punch-hole.

The Nubia RedMagic 11S Pro was only announced in China in mid-May, and now already launches globally. The smartphone can be ordered from June 10, 2026 in the manufacturer's online store. Customers in Europe and the UK can purchase an "Early Bird" voucher for €1 or £1 from June 3 to 9. This voucher allows customers to order the smartphone a day earlier and €30 or £30 cheaper.

The base model with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB flash memory costs $849, €799 or £709, respectively. Although this makes the smartphone more expensive than the base model of the RedMagic 11 Pro, even the cheapest version of the RedMagic 11S Pro offers a sophisticated cooling system that combines liquid cooling with a 24,000 rpm fan and a vapor chamber to ensure high performance even during extended gaming sessions. The version with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage costs $949, €899 or £799.
 


Apart from the cooling system of the base model, there is only one difference between the RedMagic 11 Pro and 11S Pro – the newer model uses a slightly faster variant of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 which achieves boost clock rates of up to 4.74 GHz instead of 4.6 GHz. With a gigantic 7,500 mAh battery, which can be charged both via USB-C and wirelessly with 80 watts, as well as a 6.85-inch AMOLED display without a notch or punch hole, the RedMagic 11S Pro is aimed primarily at gaming enthusiasts.

The display achieves a brightness of 1,800 nits and a frame rate of 144 Hz. The 16 MP f/2.0 selfie camera and the fingerprint sensor are invisibly integrated into the display. Despite the fan, the smartphone is IPX8-certified and therefore water-resistant. A 50 MP f/1.9 main camera with 1/1.55 inch sensor, a 50 MP f/2.0 ultra-wide-angle camera and touch-sensitive shoulder buttons complete the features. More details can be found in our detailed review of the almost identical RedMagic 11 Pro.
