RedMagic has taken its latest gaming flagship outside China, and the global RedMagic 11S Pro starts at 800 euros in Europe. It comes with an under-display selfie camera, a transparent back that shows off the liquid cooling system, and a tuned Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
That pricing puts it in direct range of premium Android phones from Samsung, Xiaomi, and OnePlus, but RedMagic is clearly chasing a narrower audience: people who care more about sustained performance and flashy gaming cues than camera bragging rights. The strategy is familiar, and usually effective – go hard on cooling, screen speed, and battery life, then let the mainstream flagships fight over polish.
RedMagic 11S Pro global prices
The international lineup is simple:
- RedMagic 11S Pro with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage – 800 euros
- RedMagic 11S Pro with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage – 900 euros
The model first appeared in China in the middle of May, so this launch is more about export availability than a fresh reveal. Still, bringing it to Europe matters: gaming phones often stay niche because they are late, awkwardly priced, or both, and RedMagic seems determined not to hand that problem to rivals.
RedMagic 11S Pro specs and gaming features
The appeal is pretty straightforward. The 6.85-inch AMOLED display runs at 144 Hz, the front camera is hidden under the panel, and the back is transparent so you can see the liquid cooling hardware doing its thing. Add dynamic RGB lighting and you have a phone that looks like it was designed by someone who enjoys PC cases a little too much.
Under the hood, RedMagic pairs the overclocked Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with a 7,500 mAh battery and 80-watt wired and wireless charging. There is also an IPX8 water-resistance rating, which is reassuring because gaming phones tend to run hot enough to make people nervous.

The interesting question is not whether this is fast – it obviously is – but whether buyers outside China are finally ready to pay flagship money for a phone whose identity is built around gaming first and everything else second. If RedMagic can keep the thermals under control and the software out of the way, it may have a louder audience than the mainstream brands expect.
