It costs more than the 11 Pro did
For context, the REDMAGIC 11 Pro launched in Malaysia a year ago from RM3,399, for its 12GB + 256GB Cryo version. The 12 Pro starts RM1,100 higher, and even its two-day 11.11 price of RM3,999 sits RM600 above where the last model began. There is no cheaper finish this time: both colours are the transparent designs and carry the same price.
What the extra money buys, by REDMAGIC's own figures, is a bigger battery in a thinner body. The 8,400mAh cell is 12% larger than the 11 Pro's 7,500mAh, while the phone is 8.5mm thick against 8.9mm before.
Built for long gaming sessions
The phone runs Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, a 2nm chip with CPU speeds up to 5GHz, alongside REDMAGIC's own RedCore R5 gaming chip for touch, lighting and frame-rate features. Cooling is the headline hardware: a liquid system with two separate loops, which now lights up in RGB, plus a 25,500 RPM fan, a larger vapour chamber and liquid metal on the processor. REDMAGIC says the new pump delivers 85% more pressure than the previous generation.
The 6.85-inch 1.5K screen refreshes at up to 185Hz and hides the selfie camera underneath the display, so there is no notch or hole. It peaks at 1,900 nits across the screen. There are 520Hz shoulder triggers, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, 80W wired and 80W wireless charging, bypass charging to keep heat down while playing plugged in, and IP68 and IP69 ratings, with the fan area rated IPX8. It ships with REDMAGIC OS 12 based on Android 17.
What it can film
REDMAGIC's own specification page lists a 50MP main camera on a 1/1.56-inch sensor with optical stabilisation, which helps keep handheld walking shots steadier, plus a 50MP ultra-wide on a smaller 1/2.87-inch sensor. The 16MP selfie camera sits under the screen. The page does not state the video resolution or frame rates, and it lists no log or flat colour profile, so anyone buying this to film should check those in a shop first: it is a gaming phone first, and REDMAGIC sells it that way.
Is the 11.11 price worth waiting for?
Only if you can buy within the window. The RM500 cut applies from 8PM on 10 November to 11:59PM on 11 November, after which the phone returns to RM4,499 and up. REDMAGIC is also the official phone of the 2026 PUBG MOBILE Global Championship in Istanbul this November and December, where all 40 teams will play on its phones.
