ZTE also comes with a SIM ejector tool, simple documentation, and an already-applied screen protector as a bonus. The packaging is high-end and neatly arranged, which shows that the brand pays attention to detail and the phone is flagship in the gaming smartphone segment.
Design & Build Quality
The ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Pro strikes back with its rough and smooth gamer style at first glance. The unit that we have reviewed was in the Shadow Titanium finish, an amalgamation of metallic sounds with the slight lighting effects that are glowing with the direct light. The RedMagic branding and the RGB lighting around the cooling vents are another reminder of its gaming DNA, but they do not seem to be over the top. The back panel is made of a strong glass that blends with an aluminum frame that provides the phone with a high-quality feel in the hands and a sense of durability. Although it has a strong construction, the glossy surface is easy to get fingerprints and smudges, and it is advisable to use the protective case that comes with it.
The RedMagic 11 Pro is a big phone in the hand with a thickness of 8.9mm and weighing approximately 230 grams. The distribution of weight is solid and even though it is a bit heavier, the phone is balanced during extended playing. The rounded edges and matte finish on the frame help in grip and the tactile shoulder triggers are just where they are needed to play comfortably. The power and volume buttons are pleasantly responsive and positioned on the right side, and the signature RedMagic switch on the left side immediately switches to Game Space mode - a minor but well-considered feature that makes the device more user-friendly to gamers.
Another strength is durability. The phone has the IPX8 rating which means that it can withstand immersion into water up to a depth of 1.5 meters and lasts up to 30 minutes. Although it is not dust resistant, the general construction is rough enough to use on a daily basis. ZTE has also got reinforced corners and internal cooling protection layers to avoid heat damages during long gameplay. All in all, the RedMagic 11 hits its target market of purpose-built functionality, futuristic and durable with just enough style to attract both the hardcore gamer and the person who just likes having a well-built and a standout device.
Display
ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Pro has a 6.85-inch display based on an AMOLED display which is instantly noteworthy in terms of size and visual quality. It has a sharp 1216 x 2688 display and a very smooth 144Hz refresh rate, which makes it one of the most responsive displays of a gaming smartphone. The screen has HDR10+ and reaches approximately 2,000 nits of brightness, which guarantees vivid images and great clarity in the brightest sunshine. The immersive experience is also enhanced by the slender bezels and almost full-screen look, which makes you feel immersed into whatever you are doing in your games or media.
Colours are vivid and lively in nature, which is adjusted to a vibrant appearance which is ideal in gaming. Nonetheless, to users who want more natural sounds, the display settings offer adjustable modes to allow them to adjust colour temperature and saturation. The blacks and the vivid contrast of the AMOLED panel make it a pleasure to watch a movie or stream HDR content. The RedMagic 11 Pro produced great shadow detail when playing the cinematic titles such as Cyberpunk: Edgerunners or Arcane and maintained accurate highlights without being overexposed.
The other feature worth mentioning is the 144Hz adaptive refresh rate that automatically changes based on the content being watched. This does not only increase fluidity during gaming and scrolling, but also contributes to preserving battery life in light tasks. Touch response is also very impressive with a 960Hz touch sampling rate, which renders all inputs as immediate and accurate as possible, a definite advantage to competitive gamers.
In addition to the visuals are two stereo speakers with DTS:X Ultra support, which play loud and clear audio with reasonable spatial separation. A high-refresh AMOLED display, high brightness, and sharp audio make the RedMagic 11 Pro one of the most immersive gadgets in the category both as a gaming and entertainment device.
Camera
The ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Pro has a triple rear camera with a 50MP main sensor with OIS, 50MP ultra-wide lens, and 2MP macro. It has a 16MP under-display camera on the front which is a design feature that leaves the screen undisturbed to play games and consume media. The camera interface is easy to use and loaded with handy features such as Pro mode, Night mode, Portrait, Slow-motion and up to 8K video capturing at 30fps.
Daylight Photo:
The main 50MP camera is good in day time, and it captures images that are sharp with balanced contrast and natural colour effects. The RedMagic 11 Pro has a neutral profile, unlike most gaming phones that tend to overdo colours, keeping the colours realistic, and still providing a good dynamic range. Even at high zoom, the details are clear and the OIS is used to take more stable shots when taking pictures in the hands. The 50MP ultra-wide camera provides satisfactory outputs with a minimum distortion, but it is more prone to lack finer details at the edges.
Low-light Photo:
Surprisingly, a gaming-oriented phone is relatively good at low-light photography. Shadows and highlights are well managed by the main camera, and it does not create too much noise. Night mode is useful in illuminating dark places, although in some cases, contrast accuracy is compromised. The 2MP macro sensor, which is anticipated to be not a spectacular feature, works quite well, however, colours may be slightly dull and fine textures may be soft.
Portrait shots are clean and distinctly separated with the background, but the bokeh blur may be somewhat unnatural at some points. Skin shades are also natural and edge recognition is relatively good. The trade-offs appear in the 16MP under-display selfie camera, though it is perfect in keeping the all-screen appearance, it will take softer shots with lower sharpness and a little washed-out colour in bad lighting.
Video recording is powerful, with 8K 30fps and 4K 60fps. Video captured in 4K is sharp, the exposure is precise and the stabilisation is smooth thanks to the combination of OIS and EIS. Outdoor recording is also good in audio pick-up.
On the whole, the camera system of the RedMagic 11 Pro is reliable and flexible enough to be used in everyday life, although it is not adjusted to the needs of photography lovers. It is a consistent and balanced performer of both photos and videos in its gaming-oriented identity.
Performance & Software
The ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Pro is powered by the Qualcomm flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. This is a combination that is readily qualifying as one of the strongest systems in the gaming smartphone market, with incredibly fast performance and multitasking capabilities. The RedMagic 11 Pro can easily handle graphics intensive games, 4K video editing, and multi-tasking without any hassle.
This device is really strong in gaming. The phone has the red core R2 Pro gaming chip, and ICE 13.5 cooling system, which ensures that the phone does not overheat even with prolonged use.
In the tests, such games as Genshin Impact and BGMI were able to run at their highest graphics with zero frame drops or thermal throttling. The temperature of the phone did not exceed 9.8 o C after 45 minutes of play, which is significantly lower than most competing flagships. The dual cooling fan, vapor chamber and the graphene layers have been integrated in a manner that ensures that the temperature is controlled as well as the performance remains constant.
Another advantage of the RedMagic 11 Pro is that it provides customizable gaming options in the Game Space application, where the user can control the fan speed, refresh rate, and priorities in performance. There are three modes: Balanced, Eco and High-Performance so that you can adjust the battery life or raw power to suit your requirements.
The device has RedMagic OS 11 which is operating on Android 16 on the software front. The interface is clean, fluid, and gamer-friendly, and has some useful customization options. There is also very little bloatware and the app transitions are smooth unlike many gaming phones. ZTE has also assured a minimum of two years of Android updates and three years of security patches so that it can be used long-term. In general, the RedMagic 11 Pro is a flagship in terms of performance, efficient thermal management, and smooth gaming-centered software experience.
AnTuTu Benchmark Score & Geekbench Score
In Geekbench 6 the phone scored approximately 3,309 points in the single-core test and 10,742 points in multi-core scores.
As per Smartprix, the phone scored a total of 2,651,204 points on AnTuTu benchmark v10 (a breakdown of which includes, but is not limited to, 593,626 on CPU, 1,193,547 on GPU, 476,871 on Memory and 387,160 on UX).
These numbers put the RedMagic 11 Pro squarely in flagship territory - powerful enough to be used in high-performance, requiring gaming and heavy multitasking.
Battery & Charger
ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Pro is a phone that is characterized by its huge 8,000mAh battery, which is supposed to power gamers and power users through extended gaming and power use without any problems. During our endurance tests, the phone can comfortably survive a day when used intensively, including constant gaming, video streaming, and multitasking. The battery declined by approximately 12-14 percent during a 30 minutes gaming session on games such as Genshin Impact and BGMI, which points to a high degree of optimization to be used in high-performance mode. The device can easily extend to almost two days between charges in case of casual day to day work.
The process of charging is done through 80W wired fast charging, and the compatible charger is provided in the box. It takes the phone about 25-30 minutes to get about 50-60 percent and about 65-70 minutes to get to full capacity. RedMagic 11 Pro also has intelligent charging control that controls both power delivery and heat, extends battery life, and remains efficient with time.
Although it has a big battery, the phone is not too bulky because of the balance of the weight. Altogether, RedMagic 11 Pro is a device that will provide gamers and heavy users with the long-lasting performance and high-speed charging to make sure that even the long play sessions or long streaming marathons will not be interrupted by the battery issues.
