Review of the most powerful Smartphone of 2026

He REDMAGIC 11 Pro has been launched not only to compete, but to annihilate any previous standards. In 2026, while other brands continue to optimize processes from previous years, REDMAGIC hits the table with the most anticipated innovation of the decade, the first mass-produced liquid cooling system.

1. The Heart of the Beast: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and RedCore R4

At the core of this titan is the revolutionary Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5a chipset that redefines efficiency and power. However, REDMAGIC knows that raw power is not everything if there is no brain to manage it. This is where the dedicated chip comes in RedCore R4.

Unlimited Performance

Unlike standard processors, the combination of chips in the REDMAGIC 11 Pro allows specialization of tasks:

• Central Processing: The Snapdragon focuses exclusively on game logic and artificial intelligence.
• Peripheral Management: The RedCore R4 frees the main processor from audio loads, touch trigger latency, and haptic feedback.
• Memory without Bottlenecks: With configurations up to 24GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 Pro storagethe device handles multitasking and 4K texture rendering with a fluidity that humbles mid-range laptops.

In our synthetic tests, the device not only achieved the highest scores recorded in AnTuTu and Geekbench in February 2026, but it demonstrated 99.7% stability in prolonged stress tests, something unheard of for a chassis this thick.

2. Thermal Revolution: The Reinforced AquaCore System

If there is one aspect that justifies the purchase of this phone over any competitor, it is the cooling system. AquaCore. REDMAGIC has achieved what seemed impossible: miniaturizing a liquid cooling circuit and making it resistant for daily use.

How does liquid cooling work in a smartphone?

He AquaCore It is not a traditional vapor chamber. It is a micro-circuit that uses a coolant liquid with high thermal conductivity that actively circulates thanks to an almost imperceptible piezoelectric pump.

• Temperature Reduction: This system is capable of reducing the core temperature of the SoC by up to 12°C additional compared to the 10S Pro model.
• Synergy with the Fan: The system is complemented with a 23,000 RPM Turbo-Fan with shark fin-shaped blades. The liquid transports heat from the processor to an internal radiator, where the air expelled by the fan instantly dissipates it.
• IPX8 certification: The most impressive thing is that REDMAGIC has achieved this ventilation and liquid system while maintaining a certification IPX8. The device is waterproof and features a sealed, dust-proof design, eliminating the fear of vents being a weak point.

3. BOE X10 Screen: A Window to Visual Perfection

Immersion is the cornerstone of gaming, and the 11 Pro's screen is simply the best on the market. We have a panel 6.85-inch BOE X10 AMOLED with resolution 1.5K (2688×1216).

Pure Visual Experience

• Without Interruptions: REDMAGIC continues to perfect the under display camera (UDC) of 16MP. On the 11 Pro model, the pixel density above the camera is so high that it is virtually impossible to detect, offering a true full-screen experience, without any notches or holes.
• 144Hz Refresh Rate: The fluidity is absolute. Every move in competitive games like Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile It feels instantaneous.
• 2,500Hz Touch Response: Touch latency has been reduced to microsecond levels. In professional gaming, where a millisecond decides a victory, the 11 Pro offers an unfair competitive advantage.
• New Generation Eye Protection: Certified by TÜV Rheinland, the panel reduces blue light emission and uses high-frequency PWM dimming to prevent eye fatigue during night sessions.

4. Performance Tests in Real Games (FPS)

For this review, we subjected the REDMAGIC 11 Pro to the most demanding titles from the Google Play Store and emulation platforms:

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile

• Configuration: Ultra Graphics / 120 FPS.
• Result: Constant 120 FPS without a single frame drop. After 2 hours of play, the device remained below the 35°Cthanks to the fact that the AquaCore avoided the thermal throttling.

Genshin Impact / Zenless Zone Zero

• Configuration: Maximum Settings / 60 FPS.
• Result: Stable 60 FPS even in the heaviest areas like Fontaine or during combat with multiple particle effects. The efficiency of RedCore R4 allows battery consumption to be 15% lower than the previous generation under the same load.

PC emulation

We test running PC titles via emulation. The REDMAGIC 11 Pro was able to run last generation games at a stable 60 FPS, demonstrating that its raw power and up to 24GB RAM They position it more as a portable console than a simple phone.

5. Titanic Autonomy: 7,500 mAh and 80W Charging

One of a gamer's biggest fears is running out of energy in the middle of a ranked match. The REDMAGIC 11 Pro crushes this anxiety with a battery of 7,500mAh.

• Actual Duration: In our mixed-use tests (social media, streaming, and 3 hours of intense gaming), the phone arrived at the end of the day with 30% battery remaining. According to the manufacturer, it offers up to 34.1 hours of daily use.
• 80W Wireless Charging: It is one of the few devices in the world that offers the same charging speed both wired and wireless. You can go from 0 to 100% in approximately 45 minutesan astonishing figure considering the size of the cell.
• Bypass Charging: An essential function for the gamer. You can connect the charger and have the power feed directly to the processor without going through the battery, avoiding chemical wear and unnecessary heat while you play.

6. Gaming Ecosystem: Game Space and 520Hz Triggers

Software is as important as hardware. He REDMAGIC OS 10.5 (based on Android 16) is clean, fast, and completely user-centric.

• 520Hz Touch Triggers: Located on the sides, these capacitive triggers emulate the L1/R1 buttons on a console controller. They are customizable and offer a 4D vibration response thanks to the 0815 super linear motor.
• Game Space: The control center allows you to overclock the processor, adjust the speed of the AquaCore fan, block notifications and use AI plugins such as Blackberry (AI assistant) to optimize your games.
• High Fidelity Audio: The DTS-X certified stereo speakers provide sound spatiality that allows you to identify the position of enemies only by the sound of their footsteps. And yes, it maintains the 3.5mm jacka relief for audiophiles and pro-gamers.

7. Artificial Intelligence: Google Gemini Integrated

The REDMAGIC 11 Pro is not just brute force; It's smart. Thanks to the deep integration of Google Geminithe device offers features that improve daily life:

• AI Writing: Improve and correct your texts in real time.
• Voice Translation: Ideal for playing on international servers and understanding your teammates in real time.
• Circle to search: A Google feature that allows you to search for any object or text on the screen simply by drawing a circle over it.

8. Photography and AI: The Human Side of the Beast

Although it is a gaming phone, REDMAGIC has not neglected the photography section. It presents a system of 50MP dual cameras with flagship level sensors.

• Major: 50MP sensor with optical stabilization (OIS) that captures sharp images even at night.
• Ultra Wide Angle: Also 50MP, ideal for capturing landscapes or group photos without distortion.
• Photographic AI: 2026's image processing uses neural networks to improve dynamic range and color accuracy, making photos look professional without the need for manual editing.

He REDMAGIC 11 Pro It is, without a doubt, the definitive smartphone. He has managed to balance the extreme power of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with disruptive system innovation AquaCore.

Who is this phone for? It's for the gamer who doesn't accept compromises, for the technology enthusiast who wants to see the future today, and for any user looking for a device that simply doesn't know what overheating or lag is.

With its battery 7,500mAhyour certification IPX8 and the most advanced cooling system on the planet, the REDMAGIC 11 Pro is established as a piece of hardware unstoppable, unmatched and indisputable.
