Redmagic’s liquid-cooled gaming phone starts at $749

Redmagic 11 Pro is the first phone (outside… OnePlus concept designat least) to feature true liquid cooling, and it will launch worldwide later this month — including the US, though you won’t be able to buy it directly from any carrier.

We’ve seen a lot of phones run with vapor chambers and call it liquid cooling, but the 11 Pro is the first phone to have liquid coolant actively pumped around the phone’s body to cool the internals. It is complemented with a waterproof fan, liquid metal CPU cooling, and a vapor chamber as well.

All of these cooling technologies are designed to Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 5th generation Inside, there’s a massive 7,500 mAh battery (although it’s slightly smaller than a 7,500 mAh battery). 8000 mAh cell in the Chinese version).

If you want to see it in action, you’ll need either the black Nightfreeze I tested or the silver Cryo variant, which has a clear section that highlights the cooling. These models start at $849, but give you extra RAM and storage space, too.
