The RedMagic 11 Pro Plus strikes a balance between speed and endurance with advanced cooling, fast charging, and a design that is designed to last long.

All is well packed to have the users up and running as soon as possible but keeping the device unopened so that it remains safe even after the initial use.
Design & Build Quality
The bold and gamer-friendly design of the ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Pro Plus is an instant attraction. The phone is designed with angular and sharp lines and a partially transparent back-side that reveals some internal constituents which make it look high-tech. The gradient finish on our review unit is very bold, and it changes with varying lighting conditions, bringing out the brand signature RGB lighting accents around the camera unit and on the edges. These light details can also be customized where the user can adjust the colors and effects to give it a personal touch. The camera housing is flat against the back panel and the metal frame provides structural rigidity to the back panel.
The RedMagic 11 Pro Plus is large and heavy, but not bulky, as the weight is well-balanced in the hand. The phone is 163.8 x 76.5 x 8.9mm and weighs approximately 230 grams, which is heavier than the normal flagships but can be justified by the huge 7,500mAh battery and internal cooling system. The rails on the textured side also serve as an extra grip which is handy during long gaming periods and the shoulder triggers that come with it are placed in a way that allows the game to be played with ease without overstraining the fingers.
This has good durability. The phone is made with a glass front and back cover with an aluminum frame, which is of high-quality construction. Although it does not have a full IP rating, the internal cooling and the strong chassis make sure that it can handle lengthy gaming sessions without bending or overheating. The device can be easily held by its flat edges, but the width can be felt by people with smaller hands when using only one hand. The fingerprints are comparatively small when compared to fully glossy designs and the RedMagic 11 Pro Plus has a solid and well-engineered feel in all angles and is evidently designed with performance and durability in mind.
Display
The ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Pro Plus has a 6.85-inch AMOLED display which at first glance is characterized by its high frequency and bright images. The panel has a resolution of 1216 x 2688 pixels and a refresh rate of 144Hz, which results in ultra-smooth scrolling, responsive touches, and smooth gameplay, making it one of the most responsive screens on a gaming smartphone. The slim sides on every side give it an immersive viewing experience and the curved edges give it a slight touch of elegance without losing grip.
The RedMagic 11 Pro Plus has rich and saturated colors, particularly in the default display mode, Game, which enhances saturation and contrast to create more dramatic and vivid images in case of playing a game or watching media. Users that want more natural tones can also use the Standard mode that maintains colours true and consistent even in off-angles. The panel also supports HDR10, which enables streaming services such as Netflix and YouTube to stream more vivid highlights, darker shadows, and more realistic skin color, which improves the movie playback. The brightness is also impressive with the highest brightness levels that make the screen readable in broad daylight, but in extreme bright outdoor situations, the brightness can be a little bit of a problem.
Gamers are also considered when designing the display. Having a touch sampling rate of 520Hz and an ultra-low latency, each swipe, tap, and gesture is immediate, be it browsing through a menu or executing intricate in-game actions. The responsive touch and high refresh rate make the gameplay competitive, smooth and precise.
In the case of multimedia, the panel is compatible with the stereo speakers on the RedMagic 11 Pro Plus to provide a genuinely immersive experience to both movies, streaming and gaming. The screen is very clear, sharp and with the right colours whether you are viewing fast action scenes or just looking at the finer details of the movie, it is one of the best sides of this device. In general, the display is efficient at satisfying the needs of both gamers and general multimedia users as it is fast, responsive, and has a high visual fidelity.
Camera
The ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Pro Plus has a flexible triple rear camera with the primary sensor of 50MP with a 50MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP macro sensor. The front-facing camera is a 16MP under-display camera that is used in selfies and video calls. Although the RedMagic 11 Pro Plus is more of a gaming-oriented phone, the cameras can also be used to capture photos and do other regular activities like capturing images and recording videos up to 8K at 30fps or 4K at 60fps, despite the phone being more of a gaming phone.
Daylight Photo:
During the day, the main 50MP sensor records well exposed images with excellent colour reproduction. Colours are not that saturated, but more natural, which makes the images look realistic and enjoyable, albeit not as vivid as on photography-focused smartphones. The ultrawide lens provides a more panoramic view, which is suitable in landscapes or group shots, although fine details are usually blurred along the edges, and the distortion is slight when taking shots at the corners of the frame.
Low-light Photo:
The performance in the low-light is not exceptional but good in a gaming phone. The primary sensor is able to cope with moderate low-light situations without generating too much noise, though the shadows may lose some details, and finer textures are smoother. The ultrawide lens performs worse in low light conditions, with visible noise and a lower quality of clarity. The macro camera is mainly used in close shots, although the resolution of 2MP does not allow a lot of sharpness and detail.
Portrait shots have the advantage of having good subject-background separation, but edge detection may sometimes fail around hair or fine edges. The bokeh is uniform and the backgrounds are smooth without excessive processing. The 16MP front camera selfies are usually precise in reproducing skin tones, with a moderate level of smoothing done automatically. The exposure is predictable, though fine details in high-contrast lighting may be lost, and backgrounds may lose their texture.
This device has a good video recording capability. The RedMagic 11 Pro Plus can capture up to 8K at 30fps which gives it the ability to capture cinema grade content, and 4K at 60fps which allows smooth shots of fast moving scenes. Stabilization is fairly effective and it holds handheld footage steady when it is used normally.
In general, the RedMagic 11 Pro Plus is a combination of functionality and performance. Its cameras are adequate in social media content, casual photography, and video capturing, but it does not want to compete with flagship photography phones. The powerful camera setup will probably be welcomed by gamers and power users as an addition to the expensive display and processing unit of the phone.
Performance & Software
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset with a 3nm process, along with a maximum of 16GB of RAM and UFS 4.1 storage is at the core of the ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Pro Plus. This combination renders the device one of the fastest gaming smartphones on the market, which can deal with the demanding games, multitasking, and high-resolution media without any noticeable lag. Applications open immediately, graphics are smooth, and even extended gaming periods are hardly throttled due to the advanced internal cooling system.
One of its features is thermal management. The RedMagic 11 Pro Plus has a multi-layer cooling system, including an inbuilt fan and vapor chamber, that ensure that the surface temperatures are comfortable and the performance remains constant under heavy loads. We put the graphically intensive titles to the fullest setting and the phone was able to provide smooth frame rates on a regular basis, and touch response was accurate and responsive due to its 520 Hz touch sampling rate.
Another strength is connectivity. The gadget has 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.4, which will provide high-speed and consistent network connectivity both in games and daily life. The performance of the network is also good despite the congestion in the network, and the speed or latency does not drop much.
On the software platform, the phone uses RedMagic OS 11 based on Android 16. The interface is also gamer friendly with specific performance tuning, RGB lighting, and screen recording tools. Such features as Game Space enable users to prioritize gaming resources, block notifications, and real-time performance metrics. Although the OS has a few pre-installed applications, the majority are game-related and can be turned off in case one wants to keep the experience minimal and seamless.
The phone supports streaming, social media, and browsing without any problem to be productive and used in everyday life. The interaction of the highest-quality hardware, fast software, and efficient cooling makes the RedMagic 11 Pro Plus a high-performance experience that can be constantly repeated and therefore is suitable to gamers, power users, and any other person who wants a smartphone that performs well even during heavy workloads.
AnTuTu Benchmark Score & Geekbench Score
One of the listings in Geekbench has a single-core score of approximately 3,309 and a multi-core score of 10,742. In a separate comparison table, the slightly higher numbers are provided: a single core of 3,596 and multi core of 12,013. In the case of AnTuTu benchmark, the product is said to score approximately 4261543 points, which is one of the best in the category.
On the whole, these figures indicate that the RedMagic 11 Pro can easily cope with the challenging applications and games without any sweat.
Battery & Charger
The ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Pro Plus boasts of an enormous 7,500mAh battery, which is supposed to last the heavy users and gamers all day long. The phone in the field test can easily endure longer gaming, multimedia streaming and multitasking without much evidence of fatigue. The light to medium usage lasts almost a full day, and even serious gaming can last several hours without interruption, due partly to the efficient power management of the device, and the great integration of software and hardware.
Another aspect that the RedMagic 11 Pro Plus has led in is charging. The phone also has 120W wired fast charging which can charge the battery up to full within about 20-25 minutes, and hence downtime is minimal. It can also charge wirelessly up to 80W, which is not a common feature in gaming smartphones, and offers some flexibility in charging. The phone has a sophisticated charging mechanism that has built-in protection against overheating and prolongs the life of the battery generally. Such characteristics as thermal control and smart charge allocation make the battery stable even in severe loading, even during long sessions.
In sum, the RedMagic 11 Pro Plus offers remarkable battery life and very quick charging, which makes the phone very convenient in the hands of gamers and power users who need to spend long durations of time performing their tasks as well as short periods of time when the device is not in use. The battery is one of the strengths of the device because it is a combination of capacity, speed, and reliability.
