RedMagic 11S Pro has moved from China to Europe, and Nubia is pitching it as the kind of phone that embarrasses pricier flagships on paper. The headline numbers are hard to ignore: a higher-clocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 than the standard version, a 7500 mAh battery, 80 W charging, and a cooling system that includes a vapor chamber, a liquid-cooling loop, and a fan spinning at 24,000 rpm. For buyers in the UK and Europe, the first question is price, and the answer starts at 800 euros or 710 pounds.
For buyers in the UK and Europe, the launch is split into two phases. A 1 euro or 1 pound early-bird coupon will be available from 3 to 9 June, and it unlocks a 30 euro or pound discount, plus the chance to order a day before the full sale opens on 10 June. That kind of pre-sale gimmick has become standard issue in the Android world, but at least here it is attached to a phone with genuinely unusual hardware, not just a new paint job.

The base model with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage costs 850 dollars, 800 euros, or 710 pounds depending on the region. Step up to 16 GB and 512 GB, and the price rises to 950 dollars, 900 euros, or 800 pounds.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 gets a speed boost
The real upgrade over the regular RedMagic 11 Pro is the chip tuning. Nubia says the ”S” model uses a higher-clocked Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, reaching 4.74 GHz instead of 4.6 GHz. That is the same SoC family used in Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is a tidy way to borrow some premium bragging rights without copying the price tag.
Elsewhere, the spec sheet reads like a checklist for aggressive gaming phones: a 6.85-inch AMOLED display with a 144 Hz refresh rate and 1800 nits peak brightness, a 16 MP front camera hidden under the screen, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and two 50 MP rear cameras. The under-display camera and the fan vents are both reminders that Nubia still prefers engineering drama to elegance.
Battery, cooling, and IPX8 protection
The most impressive part may be the least glamorous one: Nubia says the open vents for the cooling system do not break IPX8 water resistance. That is rare enough to matter, because gaming phones usually force buyers to choose between thermals and toughness. Here, Nubia is trying to have both.
The catch is obvious. A phone this heavy on hardware will appeal most to gamers and spec hunters, not people shopping for a refined all-rounder. But if the European pricing holds and the cooling system actually delivers sustained performance, RedMagic has given the big flagships something annoying to think about.
