RedMagic 11 Pro: The World's First Liquid-Cooled Phone Tested

RedMagic 11 Pro: A New Era in Phone Innovation

• 💡 The RedMagic 11 Pro is highlighted as a groundbreaking device, being the world's first mass-produced liquid-cooled phone.
• 🚀 It boasts the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, delivering the fastest benchmark scores ever tested by the team.
• 🔋 The phone features a massive 7500mAh battery, a significant upgrade offering extended usage.

Inside the Liquid Cooling System

• 🔬 A detailed teardown reveals the phone's dual cooling system, including a thin, real liquid cooling loop and a large vapor chamber.
• 💨 An integrated 24,000 RPM fan works alongside the vapor chamber to dissipate heat from the SoC.
• ⚠️ While the liquid cooling loop is visually impressive, the primary cooling is attributed to the vapor chamber and fan, with potential for higher fan speeds to manage surface temperatures.

Performance and Gaming Experience

• ⚡ The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with its Adreno 840 GPU shows significant performance gains, especially in demanding applications like 3D Mark.
• 🎮 Gaming performance is exceptional, with features like 520 Hz polling rate triggers and a 144 Hz AMOLED display enhancing the experience.
• 📈 Despite high performance, the phone's cooling system is designed to manage heat effectively during typical mobile gaming sessions.

Design and User-Centric Features

• 📸 The phone features a bumpless camera design, utilizing the full depth of the device for its triple camera setup (dual 50MP rear cameras).
• 🤳 A unique under-display front camera provides an uninterrupted screen experience without a notch or cutout.
• 🎧 The return of a headphone jack, conveniently located on a daughterboard for easier replacement, is celebrated as an old-school cool feature.

Battery and Charging Capabilities

• 🔋 The 7500mAh battery is a standout feature, comprising over 35% of the device's weight and offering exceptional longevity.
• ⚡ The phone supports up to 80W wired charging, achieving a 0-100% charge in under an hour, with a brief peak at 80W before settling around 60W.
• 🔌 The battery includes user-friendly pull tabs for easier removal, a feature praised for its practicality.

Display and Audio

• ✨ The 144Hz AMOLED display offers vibrant visuals with excellent contrast and a screen-to-body ratio exceeding 95%.
• 🔊 Stereo speakers are integrated, with one serving as the earpiece and another for enhanced audio output, passing the 'no need for a Bluetooth speaker' test.
• 💡 The screen also plays a role in cooling, with thermal interface material between the SoC's heat spreader and the display itself.
