RedMagic 16 Pro 2026 Launches October 17 with Core Ultra 9 and RTX 5090 Power

RedMagic is making another bold move into the gaming hardware scene. The company just confirmed the RedMagic Gaming Laptop 16 Pro 2026, launching in China on October 17, with pre-orders already live on JD.com. The same model will later hit global markets under the name RedMagic Titan 16 Pro (2026) — and it’s shaping up to be a beast built for both gamers and creators.

First teased at the RedMagic Gaming Universe event earlier this year, the new 16 Pro takes a serious leap forward in performance. It’s one of the first laptops to feature Intel’s Core Ultra 9-275HX processor paired with Nvidia’s flagship RTX 5090 GPU, a combination that screams high-end gaming and professional-grade rendering power. For context, its predecessor from 2024 topped out at RTX 4070 — meaning RedMagic’s new flagship isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a full generational jump.

The design remains true to RedMagic’s gamer-meets-minimalist aesthetic. The chassis is made from CNC-machined aluminum alloy, finished in a sleek two-tone grey and black palette. It feels every bit as premium as it looks — sturdy, angular, and balanced between aggressive performance and modern refinement. RedMagic clearly wants this to be the kind of machine that looks at home in both a streaming setup and a creative studio.

Inside, the 16 Pro 2026 brings a full-sized RGB keyboard with per-key lighting customization, full-height arrow keys, and a dedicated numeric pad. The large precision touchpad keeps input smooth, while the slim-bezel display promises an immersive view without unnecessary bulk. RedMagic hasn’t revealed the exact panel type yet, but expectations point toward a 16-inch QHD+ IPS or Mini-LED display with up to 240Hz refresh rate and 100% DCI-P3 color accuracy — ideal for gaming, editing, and even color-critical creative work.

On the performance front, the laptop is expected to come with up to 64GB DDR5 RAM and 4TB PCIe Gen5 SSD storage, ensuring plenty of room for massive game libraries and 4K projects. Keeping everything cool is a hybrid cooling system that combines dual fans, a vapor chamber, and an optimized airflow path — a setup borrowed from RedMagic’s experience in cooling its gaming smartphones.

Connectivity is equally stacked: Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, HDMI 2.1, multiple USB-A and USB-C ports, Ethernet, and a combo audio jack. Powering it all is a massive 99Wh battery supported by 330W fast charging, while DTS:X Ultra speakers add immersive audio for movies and matches alike.

The laptop isn’t launching alone — RedMagic will also debut the RedMagic 11 Pro smartphone, running on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Elite with wild features like a visible water-cooling ring and an under-display 50MP selfie camera. The event, then, marks RedMagic’s growing ambition to become more than a gaming phone brand — it’s now aiming squarely at the gaming ecosystem.

If the specs are any indication, the RedMagic 16 Pro 2026 could be one of the most powerful gaming laptops of next year, combining Intel’s latest CPU, Nvidia’s top-tier GPU, and RedMagic’s cooling DNA into a sharp, professional design. It’s a signal that gaming hardware from China isn’t just competing — it’s leading the charge in both performance and style.

For enthusiasts and creators alike, this might be the moment when RedMagic graduates from smartphone challenger to full-fledged hardware powerhouse. The future of gaming laptops just got a lot more interesting — and a little more Red.
