The RedMagic 11 Pro series was officially unveiled in China. However, this Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship phone lineup isn't the only highlight of the event. The company has also released a new gaming laptop, which tops out at RTX 5090.

RedMagic has launched a couple of new products in China. While the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered RedMagic 11 Pro series is getting most of the attention, the company has also introduced a new gaming laptop.

The new laptop, called the RedMagic Gaming Laptop 16 Pro 2026 in China, is expected to launch in the global market as the Titan 16 Pro 2026. As the company previously teased, the system can be equipped with up to the Nvidia RTX 5090 and Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX. This combination, as per our test data, should make the system well capable of handling almost all games at the 1440p resolution with the visual settings turned to max.

Of course, the company is offering other configurations of the gaming laptop as well. There are two more options, to be specific, and all use the same Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX as the CPU. As for the GPU, the base configuration has the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti, a solid upper mid-range option.

There is another option with the RTX 5080, a capable high-end laptop GPU. RedMagic highlights that the CPU and GPU are paired with the Magic Cooling Architecture 2.0, which is said to keep the system cool during heavy loads. The design is claimed to allow higher airflow than the predecessor, and there are a total of three active fans.

Regarding the display, the RedMagic Gaming Laptop 16 Pro 2026 sports a 16-inch screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. This 16:10 panel is said to have a typical brightness of 500 nits, DC dimming, 300 Hz refresh rate, and 100% DCI-P3 color coverage.

Other highlights of the new RedMagic gaming laptop include a sleek design, a 99 Wh battery with 100 W PD support (Baseus 145 W laptop power bank curr. $62.98 on Amazon), and 80 Gbps Thunderbolt 5. The base model launched in China with a tag of CNY 14,999, about $2,105, while the top-end config costs CNY 27,999, around $3930. There's no word about a global launch yet, but it should soon make an international debut.
