Redmagic’s liquid-cooled 11S Pro arrives with upgraded Snapdragon chip

Nubia has introduced the worldwide launch of the Redmagic 11S Pro, its new flagship Android gaming telephone. It’s not a big change from the 11 Pro, which launched internationally final November, however has been upgraded to the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version.

Otherwise issues look related. There’s a big 7,500mAh battery, quick 80W charging, and a 144Hz display with an under-display digital camera. The firm’s AquaCore cooling returns, combining a 24,000 RPM fan with a real liquid cooling system — not the easy vapor chamber discovered on different telephones. The large draw back to the 11S Pro is that the RAM caps at 16GB and the storage at 512GB, with no signal of the 24GB+1TB configuration accessible for the 11 Pro. Blame RAMageddon.

The beginning worth has elevated too, now $849 within the US, up from $749, however that’s partially due to a welcome simplification: Every mannequin now features a semi-transparent rear to point out off the fluorescent liquid cooling impact, beforehand an non-obligatory improve. Sales start on June 10th, although early chook entry begins from June third, with the choice to safe a $29 low cost. The 11S Pro beforehand launched in China on May 18th in two distinct variations — the worldwide model is a hybrid of the 2, although is far nearer in specs to China’s 11S Pro Plus.
