Main summary

Key takeaways

Product Review

Quick verdict

  • Strong recommendation for gamers and power users: Flossy Carter calls it a “major major go” (effectively a “double major go”).
  • He stopped short of a top score only because of camera performance.
  • Price starts at $750.

“Major major go” / “double major go” — camera performance keeps it from a full top score.

Main features highlighted

  • Flagship-level raw performance (SD 8 Gen 5 Elite) with third‑party benchmarks referenced (GSM Arena).
  • Real liquid cooling with a large vapor chamber and an active RGB fan with visible liquid circulation. Fan speed and sound are customizable.
  • First Red Magic model to include wireless charging and IPX8 water resistance (both demonstrated).
  • Huge 7,500 mAh battery with 80 W wired and wireless charging plus charge‑separation mode to reduce heat during long gaming sessions.
  • Full-screen experience enabled by an under‑display selfie camera for immersive media and gaming.
  • Rich gaming software suite: Game Space, magic key (customizable hardware button), per‑game profiles, cooling/fan toggles, in‑wallpaper mini‑games, floating windows, and multitasking.
  • Strong audio: loud stereo speakers, 32‑bit high‑res audio support, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
  • Highly customizable RGB lighting (back lighting, triggers, fan, various lighting modes).

Pros

  • Exceptional raw performance and smooth real‑world gaming (Asphalt 9, Killer Instinct, GTA via Xbox Game Pass demos).
  • Large battery and fast wired/wireless charging; practical charge‑separation mode for prolonged gaming.
  • IPX8 water resistance and wireless charging are new for Red Magic.
  • Immersive full‑screen viewing with no front‑camera cutout and very good speakers.
  • Extensive gamer‑centric hardware (triggers, fan, cooling system, lighting) and software tools.
  • Included fast charger and USB‑C cable in the box.
  • IR blaster and headphone jack remain useful differentiators.
  • Works on U.S. carriers (AT&T 5G demonstrated).

Cons / caveats

  • Camera system is the weak point: under‑display front selfie quality is limited and the rear cameras are serviceable but not class‑leading.
  • Long‑range zoom/telephoto performance is poor (failed reviewer’s zoom test).
  • The active fan is audible and can be loud — may require pausing during calls.
  • Phone is large and heavy (240 g), comparable to other big flagships.
  • No microSD expansion.
  • In the reviewer’s charging test, a full charge took about 1 hour 20 minutes (he suspected turbo mode was off; turbo would shorten charge time).

User experience notes (from the video)

  • Biometrics: face unlock and ultrasonic in‑display fingerprint were fast and reliable.
  • Software personalization: deep theming, AI wallpaper generator, live wallpaper mini‑games, and extensive per‑game settings and overlays.
  • Multitasking: split‑screen, floating windows, and quick sidebar performed smoothly.
  • Cooling modes: balance vs fast; fast mode visibly increases liquid flow and fan speed. Fan sound and lighting behaviors can be customized.
  • Real‑world durability demos: reviewer submerged the phone and continued to use it; wireless and reverse charging were demonstrated successfully.
  • Speakers: loud and bassy — confirmed in a dedicated sound test.
  • Media and gaming especially benefit from the full‑screen display and loud stereo audio.

Comparisons and positioning

  • Positioned as a blend of gaming hardware and a more refined “luxury” finish compared with earlier, more overtly “nerdy” Red Magic designs (earlier favorite: Gold Saga).
  • Size/weight compared to peers: Gold Saga (246 g), Galaxy S25 Ultra (221 g), iPhone 17 Pro Max (246 g) — the 11 Pro is among the heavier flagship phones.
  • Camera performance falls below best-in-class phones from Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi, Samsung, and Apple.
  • Performance benchmarks place it among the fastest phones available (GSM Arena referenced).

Speakers / contributors (who appeared in the video)

  • Flossy Carter — primary reviewer: hands‑on review, demos (submerge, wireless charging, gaming, software walkthrough), verdict.
  • White Shoes — the reviewer’s cat (recurring cameo).
  • Mark Rubier — participated in loudspeaker “sound test.”
  • GSM Arena — referenced for benchmark comparisons.
  • Google Gemini — demoed on-device for summarizing web pages and image/frame analysis.
  • Brief end voiceover — channel outro (non-technical).

Overall recommendation

  • Buy if you prioritize: raw performance, long battery life, advanced cooling (including an active fan), immersive full‑screen display, loud stereo audio, wireless charging, IPX8 water resistance, and flashy customizable RGB aesthetics.
  • Consider another phone if your top priority is mobile photography (telephoto zoom, best‑in‑class cameras, or high-quality selfies). The Red Magic 11 Pro’s cameras are adequate but not class-leading.
