REDMAGIC 11 Pro Review | First SD 8 ELITE GEN 5 Gaming Phone!

Reviewing the REDMAGIC 11 Pro gaming phone - it's not red, but it is magic, boasting that Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 power and an innovative cooling system. I've been testing the REDMAGIC 11 Pro for a few days so here's my unboxing and review of the gaming chops with Wuthering Waves etc. As well as the best-in-class battery life, the main draw of this beefy smartphone is that performance. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 replaces the original 'Leading Edition', so once again Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact and other favourites all run flawlessly. The REDMAGIC 11 Pro's upgraded heat-dissipation tech now includes liquid cooling and works beautifully, even with your game's settings maxed out. And like the ROG Phone, there's no slowdown even if you're gaming for hours. Speaking of which, the battery size is upgraded for the REDMAGIC 11 Pro to a truly magic 7500mAh. Addicted to PubG or Genshin Impact? Not a problem! The REDMAGIC 11 Pro supports 80W wired charging as well as wireless charging, plus the new IPX8 rating means full water resistance. And that's my unboxing and review of the REDMAGIC 11 Pro, after plenty of satisfying gaming testing. Let us know if it's your pick of the best gamer smartphone of 2025 below!
