This is the first proper flagship handset we’ve seen in Pakistan from ZTE. Nubia Redmagic 11 Pro has now arrived in the local market as the country’s only liquid cooling device. And this is one of the few handsets to land on our shores with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Here’s everything you should know.
We’ve seen other devices built around Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. But what’s different about the Redmagic 11 Pro is actually the cooling system. Flagship chips today are only as good as the cooling solution they arrive with, and the Redmagic 11 Pro has that in spades.
This may be the only device to have three types of thermal solutions. The liquid cooling method is by far the most curious. That blue circle on the new ZTE flagship mobile back is the coolant that sits in a leak-proof loop, and a piezoelectric motor pushes the liquid by vibrating.
There’s also an active cooling fan among the cameras that spins at 24,000 RPM. That’s the fastest any gaming phone has ever reached. You even have the industry’s largest 13,116 mm2 VC chamber on the SoC to relieve the heat. It provides the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 enough cooling to show its full potential.
Custom LPDDR5T 16GB RAM with UFS 4.1 Pro storage speeds are some of the fastest we’ve seen. Then comes the added Redcore R4 chip for AI 2K upscaling and a 144Hz frame interpolation that syncs with the Redmagic 11 Pro’s refresh rate. It will have limited use, though.
They’ve crafted this newcomer with aircraft-grade Aluminum. The rear glass is semi-transparent. And you can see a coil in the middle for wireless 80W charging. It’s a gaming phone, so you have the shoulder triggers on the edge. There’s, of course, a dedicated key that turns on gaming mode.
The frame scores an IP69 rating, by the way. Redmagic 11 Pro is built around a 7500mAh battery that’s connected to an 80W wired charging kit and a wireless 80W coil. And let’s not forget the 4D haptic motor, WiFi 7, and dual speakers inside.
The cameras are underrated, but the phone does provide a 50MP Main and 50MP ultrawide on the back, plus a 16MP hidden selfie sensor. It’s behind the 6.85” 1.5K AMOLED that moves pixels at a 144Hz rate. There’s 1800nits brightness on it. The screen also has an ultrasonic fingerprint, and its USB 3.2 port can output to other displays. Redmagic 11 Pro only comes in 16/512GB trim, and the price tag is Rs 209,999, with Siccotel as ZTE's official selling partner.
