Reviewing the RedMagic 11s Pro, the most powerful gaming phone of 2026, powered by Qualcomm's SnapDragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Edition. This is the best (and pretty much only) gamer smartphone right now, although the RedMagic 11s Pro's overclocked chipset is almost the only upgrade vs the 11.
I've been testing this absolute unit for a few weeks now so here's my review, with thoughts on the battery life, gaming performance and more. Please do subscribe for more on the latest and greatest tech!
As well as the best-in-class battery life, the main draw of this beefy smartphone is that performance. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Edition replaces the original platform, to power through the likes of Wuthering Waves, Genshin Impact and other favourites. Plus the RedMagic 11s Pro sports that same liquid cooling as the original Red Magic 11 Pro - plus some liquid metal surround for the processor.
Other specs remain mostly the same, from the battery capacity to the full-view display. So if you already have the old gen, no need to upgrade in 2026.
