Intro
The RedMagic 11 Pro+ is the latest addition to Nubia’s powerful gaming phone lineup — and it’s easily one of the most impressive Android devices of 2025. Packed with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, an ultra-fast AMOLED display, and an advanced cooling system, this phone is built for gamers and power users who want nothing but the best.
Design and Build
At first glance, the RedMagic 11 Pro+ looks bold and futuristic. It features a glass front and back with an aviation-grade aluminum middle frame, giving it a premium and sturdy feel. The transparent design option, revealing the internal cooling fan and RGB lighting, adds that unique “gaming” identity that RedMagic fans love.
The device measures 163.8 x 76.5 x 8.9 mm and weighs 230g, which feels solid in the hand but not too heavy. It also comes with IPX8 water resistance, meaning it can survive brief submersion up to 1.5m — a first for RedMagic’s gaming line.
Display
RedMagic didn’t hold back here. The 6.85-inch AMOLED display supports 1 billion colors, a 144Hz refresh rate, and up to 2000 nits of peak brightness. Whether you’re gaming, watching HDR content, or scrolling through social media, everything looks sharp, smooth, and incredibly vibrant.
The 1216 x 2688 pixel resolution offers around 431 PPI, which ensures detailed clarity even during fast-paced games. Touch response is another highlight — the 520Hz touch-sensing ensures ultra-fast reactions, which is a serious advantage for competitive gamers.
Performance
Under the hood, the RedMagic 11 Pro+ runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset (3nm architecture). It’s paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage, delivering lightning-fast performance.
Gaming is seamless — even heavy titles like Genshin Impact and PUBG Mobile run on maximum settings without any frame drops. The built-in ICE 14.0 cooling system with a high-speed cooling fan keeps the device from overheating during long sessions, ensuring consistent performance.
Software and Features
The phone ships with Android 16 and RedMagic OS 11, which adds a ton of gamer-focused customizations. You get a dedicated gaming space, advanced performance controls, and streaming-friendly tools.
There’s also AI optimization for smoother app switching and lower latency — making it not just a gaming beast, but also a productivity powerhouse.
Cameras
RedMagic phones have typically focused more on performance than photography, but the 11 Pro+ improves significantly. It features a 50MP main sensor, 8MP ultrawide, and 2MP macro lens. The main sensor captures detailed and sharp images even in low light.
For selfies, there’s a 16MP under-display camera — keeping the front free of notches or punch holes, giving you a clean and immersive screen experience.
Battery and Charging
A key highlight is its 5500mAh battery paired with 165W ultra-fast charging. You can go from 0 to 100% in under 20 minutes — a game-changer for busy users and mobile gamers alike.
Battery endurance is solid, offering around 9 hours of continuous gaming or a full day of regular use.
Connectivity and Audio
As expected, you get full 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and dual SIM support. Audio performance is top-notch with stereo speakers, DTS:X Ultra sound, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, something most flagships have dropped.
Pricing and Availability
The RedMagic 11 Pro+ starts at CNY 5,699 (around $780 / ₦1,200,000) for the 12GB + 256GB version and goes up to CNY 6,499 ($890 / ₦1,350,000) for the 16GB + 512GB variant.
The phone was announced on October 17, 2025, and is expected to roll out globally starting November 3, 2025.
