Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and dedicated RedCore R5 gaming chip, it delivers powerful performance for demanding gaming sessions. 

Its upgraded AquaCore Cooling System 3.0 features dual-loop liquid cooling, a 25,500 RPM high-speed fan, and Liquid Metal 4.0 to help maintain stable performance under sustained workloads. An 185Hz OLED full-screen display, 8,400mAh battery, 80W fast charging, wireless charging, and REDMAGIC OS 12 based on Android 17 complete this refined blend of power, endurance, and comfort.

Next-Generation Snapdragon Performance with Dedicated Gaming Hardware

At the heart of the REDMAGIC 12 Pro is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, built on a 2nm process with CPU clock speeds up to 5GHz. Designed to deliver next-generation processing power and AI capabilities, the platform provides the foundation for demanding mobile games and intensive workloads. 

It is supported by REDMAGIC’s Energy Cube 4.0, dedicated RedCore R5 gaming chip, and G1 high-refresh-rate display control chip, which work together to coordinate key gaming functions and optimize the overall gaming experience.

The RedCore R5 is designed to improve responsiveness and visual performance through touch optimization, lighting control, rendering acceleration, super-resolution, and super-frame technologies. By coordinating these specialized tasks, the chip helps deliver smoother gameplay and more responsive interactions with reduced latency. Working alongside the Snapdragon platform, these dedicated technologies help improve responsiveness and maintain smooth visuals during demanding gameplay.

Industry-First 185Hz Under-Display True Full-Screen for Smooth Touch Response

The REDMAGIC 12 Pro features a 6.85-inch 1.5K BOE X11 display with an industry-first 185Hz refresh rate on an under-display true full-screen design, delivering fluid motion and clear visual feedback during fast-paced gameplay. Developed in collaboration with BOE, the ninth-generation under-display camera (UDC) integrates the front camera beneath the screen to preserve a clean, uninterrupted viewing experience. 

Ultra-narrow 0.96mm bezels further expand the visible display area, while the screen reaches 1,900 nits of global peak brightness and up to 5,000 nits of local peak brightness for enhanced visibility across different lighting conditions.

The display is engineered for touch precision as well as visual fluidity. A Synaptics touch chip supports an instantaneous touch sampling rate of up to 5,000Hz and an average touch sampling rate of up to 500Hz, helping translate input into on-screen actions with minimal delay. 

Wet-hand touch support helps maintain responsiveness when fingers or the screen are damp, while SGS Eye Care Certification adds a focus on viewing comfort during extended use. Together, the high refresh rate, responsive touch system, and full-screen design make the display a central part of the REDMAGIC 12 Pro’s gaming experience.

AquaCore Cooling System 3.0: Advanced Dual-Loop Liquid and Air Cooling

To help maintain performance under sustained gaming loads, the REDMAGIC 12 Pro introduces AquaCore Cooling System 3.0, an upgraded thermal architecture that integrates dual-loop liquid cooling, high-speed fan cooling, an enhanced vapor chamber, and Liquid Metal 4.0. 

In a major upgrade shaped by fan feedback, the liquid cooling system now features RGB lighting, bringing a more expressive gaming aesthetic to REDMAGIC’s advanced thermal engineering. By coordinating liquid cooling and airflow to move heat away from key components, the system helps manage temperatures during demanding gameplay.

At the core of the liquid cooling system is a new dual-crystal micro-pump that drives liquid through dedicated upper and lower loops. The system delivers output pressure of up to 130kPa, an 85% increase over the previous generation, while consuming as little as 20mW of power. 

For airflow cooling, a 25,500 RPM turbo fan works alongside the liquid system to accelerate heat dissipation. Its labyrinth dust-resistant design helps limit dust ingress, while a reinforced fan shaft is engineered to improve durability by 30% compared with the previous generation.

The redesigned vapor chamber features a zero-fill-port, zero-dead-zone architecture with a raised-step structure. This design increases the effective cooling area by 15% and thermal conductivity by 50%, helping transfer heat more efficiently across the device. 

Liquid Metal 4.0 adds another layer of thermal management through an embedded copper-foil composite structure designed to maintain stable contact with the CPU and support efficient heat transfer. Together, these upgrades help dissipate heat and support sustained performance during demanding gaming sessions.

8,400mAh Battery with 80W Fast Charging and Wireless Charging

Built to support extended gaming sessions, the REDMAGIC 12 Pro features an 8,400mAh battery, a 12% increase in capacity over the 7,500mAh battery in the REDMAGIC 11 Pro. Despite the larger battery, the device maintains a slim 8.5mm profile, compared with the previous generation’s 8.9mm thickness. This combination of increased capacity and a thinner body is designed to deliver greater endurance without adding unnecessary bulk.

The device supports 80W fast charging for convenient power replenishment, alongside wireless charging for added flexibility. Bypass charging allows power to be supplied directly to the phone while separating the power supply from the battery charging process, helping manage heat when gaming while connected to power. 

Combined with AquaCore Cooling System 3.0, the battery and charging technologies support longer play sessions and more flexible power management.

Transparent Gaming Design Meets Refined Engineering

The REDMAGIC 12 Pro combines its performance-focused hardware with a distinctive transparent rear design that showcases elements of its cooling system, complemented by dynamic RGB lighting. Its dual-sided flat design, camera-bump-free rear, and notchless display create a clean, streamlined appearance that balances its gaming identity with a refined look for everyday use. 

The device also offers IP68 and IP69-rated protection against dust and water, adding an extra layer of protection for everyday use, while the turbo cooling fan area carries a separate IPX8 rating.

*IP68 and IP69 ratings apply to the device, while the cooling fan area is rated IPX8 due to its independent airflow channel design. Ratings are based on specific laboratory test conditions. Actual protection may vary depending on usage conditions and device wear.

Beyond its design, the REDMAGIC 12 Pro includes a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for convenient unlocking, dual-SIM support for managing two mobile connections, and NFC with Google Pay for contactless payments.
