After a series of teaser images, REDMAGIC has officially announced the REDMAGIC 11S Pro series, consisting of the REDMAGIC 11S Pro and 11S Pro+, marking the Nubia gaming sub-brand's newest flagship smartphones to date on Monday, May 18, 2026.
Announced in China, the two new gaming handsets retain a similar appearance to last year's REDMAGIC 11S Pro series, but bring a customized "Leading Version" of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.

Having clocked at 4.74GHz, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version can be compared to the "for Galaxy" counterpart found particularly on the Galaxy S26 series, which also carries the same frequency as the former. Meaning, both editions run on an overclocked version of the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

Underneath, the processor is joined by a 12GB + 256GB memory configuration alongside a massive 8,000mAh battery capacity with 80W charging for the REDMAGIC 11S Pro. Meanwhile, the 11S Pro+ extends for up to 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM, 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, and a 7,500mAh battery (120W wired).

While both phones have an internal cooling system, the vanilla REDMAGIC 11S Pro only gets a cooling fan, while the REDMAGIC 11S Pro+ gets both the physical cooling fan and the AquaCore liquid cooling system. Despite the noticeable distinction, the REDMAGIC emblem on the upper right is still present on both models.
