Red Magic 11 Pro
The Red Magic 11 Pro is shaping up to be a headline maker in the gaming smartphone world, thanks to early leaks and a pile of eye-catching Geekbench scores. With Nubia reportedly gearing up for launch, here’s a look at what’s making this next-gen gaming device the talk of the tech community.
A Powerhouse in the Making
The center of all the buzz? The Red Magic 11 Pro is packing Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset—a serious step up from the already-high bar set by last year’s Red Magic 10 Pro.
If you follow smartphone hardware even a little, you know the 8 Elite series is meant for peak performance. But these new numbers are wild: the device (listed as model NX809J) tipped a mighty 10,742 in Geekbench multi-core and 3,309 single-core scores.
That’s not just good; that’s “outpacing every flagship on the block” good. The chip’s got two supercharged cores at 4.19GHz and six more humming along at 3.63GHz.
Early whispers suggest the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 will be officially announced at the next Snapdragon Summit, but it’s already powering working handsets—at least in the hands of benchmark testers.
RAM, Display, and Other Juicy Specs
The Geekbench listing outed 16GB of RAM—actually 14.87GB usable, likely due to system processes. If Nubia follows its usual playbook, we’ll see even higher options (think: up to 24GB for ultimate gaming bragging rights).
If you’re wondering about the display, past Red Magic flagships give us a good clue. We’re expecting at least a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen with a crazy-fast refresh rate (previously 144Hz) and all the brightness and color you’d want for gaming marathons.
Storage options could climb as high as 1TB. And with a battery rumored at 6,500mAh and 120W fast charging, overheating your phone in the middle of an all-nighter should be a thing of the past.
Performance: Early Results and What They Mean
Those benchmark numbers aren’t just for show. Perspective: the Red Magic 11 Pro is scoring 7% higher in single-core and up to 16% higher in multi-core performance compared to current Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered rivals.
If you love big mobile games or maybe want to flex bragging rights in your Discord chat, this is the kind of lead that actually matters in fast-paced multiplayer stuff or emulation.
Cameras and Cool Extras
Gaming phones used to skip over cameras, but the rumor mill says the Red Magic 11 Pro will come with a triple rear setup led by a 50MP OmniVision OV50E40 sensor and a 16MP front camera tucked under the display for a seamless look.
Add in an expected IP68 rating (water and dust resistance—finally, even with a built-in cooling fan), 5G, Wi-Fi 7 support, and maybe even the return of the headphone jack (no guarantees, but let’s hope).
Early Impressions & What We’re Watching
Should you care about a Red Magic release if you’re not a streamer or Genshin Impact marathoner? Maybe! The magic of these phones nowadays is that their performance, battery, and display perks are just as juicy for anyone who wants an ultra-responsive, long-lasting everyday device.
But, let’s be honest—if you love pushing phones to their limits, this is the spec sheet to watch.
