RedMagic Unveils Next-Gen Cooling Tech with Liquid System for Its 11 Pro Gaming Flagship

At the REDMAGIC Gaming and Liquid Cooling Technology Conference in Shenzhen, the brand known for its wild gaming hardware just revealed something that could change the way smartphones handle heat. Meet the industry’s first mass-produced liquid-air hybrid cooling system, designed for its upcoming Red Magic 11 Pro series.

Think of it as smartphone cooling on a PC level. Instead of relying only on vapor chambers — which passively move heat — Red Magic built an active cooling system that circulates liquid like those found in gaming rigs and AI servers. A miniature pump moves a fluorinated coolant through microchannels carved with micron-level precision, pulling heat away from the chipset toward a fan and radiator system that expels it efficiently.

This setup wasn’t easy to shrink down. Red Magic engineers spent thousands of design iterations perfecting a piezoelectric ceramic micropump, balancing strong fluid circulation with the compact form factor of a phone. The liquid can handle extreme conditions from –40°C to 70°C, staying stable even under marathon gaming sessions — or in some climates, Asian summer heat.

Of course, smartphones get dropped more than gaming PCs. To make it battle-ready, Red Magic developed anti-puncture membranes and ultra-low-temperature bonding for leak prevention. The new system reportedly passed tens of thousands of drop tests, ensuring it survives even the most chaotic LAN party.

The Red Magic 11 Pro will be the first to feature this cooling tech, running on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip with a dual-track cooling design for sustained high-performance gaming. The numbers sound wild: it can reportedly run Wuthering Waves at 90fps for up to 120 minutes at max settings, and over 200 titles optimized for 2K and 144Hz gameplay.

Backing it all up is the Turbo Fan 4.0 system, Red Magic’s signature internal fan that now spins up to 24,000rpm. It channels air through a dual-track heat dissipation path and an improved 4D vapor chamber, keeping both the CPU and GPU cool. And here’s the kicker — this fan setup is now IPX8 water-resistant, making it the first active cooling fan on a smartphone that can survive a dunk.

It’s not just about raw specs; Red Magic’s esports credibility is also on the line. The brand is the official device partner for six major esports leagues in China, including CrossFire Mobile Pro League and League of Legends Mobile Super League. Tencent’s K1 CrossFire operations head, Chen Jin, even praised the phones for reducing disconnections and technical pauses in pro tournaments.

With the Red Magic 11 Pro, the company isn’t just cooling a phone — it’s redefining what mobile gaming feels like. For a region like Asia, where gaming and esports are as cultural as they are competitive, this blend of tech and performance could signal the next era of serious smartphone gaming.

Red Magic’s new cooling system doesn’t just keep phones cool — it keeps the competition sweating.
