Following its official debut in China, REDMAGIC has announced the release date of the newly-launched REDMAGIC 11S Pro with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version for the global market, which is slated to launch on Wednesday, May 27, 2026 at 8AM (EDT).

Unlike the Chinese launch, the global launch seems to be bringing only the 11S Pro for the international market due to the lack of mention of the 11S Pro+ on the landing page. Although no information has been confirmed as of now, newer information may be revealed as the launch date draws near.

However, the lack of mention could also mean that they are bringing the Chinese version of the 11S Pro+ over to the global market under the name 11S Pro because of the AquaCore liquid cooling system.

While it may sound confusing at first, the 11S Pro released in China does not have AquaCore, while the 11S Pro+ (also released in China) has it.

On the global landing page, it can be seen that the brand highlights the AquaCore as part of the global 11S Pro model, which suggests that the global variant could be a rebadged version of the Chinese 11S Pro+ with a slight variation in specifications, such as the 7,500mAh battery with 80W charging and more.

For comparison, the REDMAGIC 11S Pro+ (China) features the same 7,500mAh battery capacity but opts for a faster 120W wired charging.
