RedMagic 12 Pro Unveiled with RGB Liquid Cooling, 185Hz Screen, and 8,400mAh Battery

Nubia has officially unveiled the RedMagic 12 Pro in China, introducing new mobile gaming hardware innovations led by an active RGB liquid-cooling system.

The new flagship pairs this with thermal setup and an industry-first 185Hz true full-screen display free from notches or camera cutouts.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Chipset and RedCore R5 Gaming Silicon

At the heart of the handset is a Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor fabricated on a 2nm process.

Nubia complements this silicon with its proprietary RedCore R5 gaming co-processor to handle real-time ray tracing, 2K resolution upscaling, and frame interpolation up to 185Hz.

Buyers can configure the machine with up to 16GB of ultra-fast LPDDR5T RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 Pro storage, with an exclusive 24GB forged carbon edition arriving later.

Right out of the box, an integrated PC emulator allows gamers to link their Steam accounts and stream select PC titles directly onto the handset.

Dynamic Dual-Loop RGB Liquid Cooling and 25,500 RPM Active Fan

The headlining attraction is the visible circular liquid-cooling loop on the back panel that illuminates with customizable RGB effects responding to in-game action.

This dual-loop setup channels fluorinated coolant across both the CPU and battery using a high-pressure micro-pump that is 85 percent more powerful than previous generations.

Assisting the fluid cycle is an IPX8-waterproof active centrifugal fan spinning at up to 25,500 RPM alongside liquid metal, graphene sheets, and a vapor chamber.

This multi-tiered architecture ensures sustained peak framerates during punishing gaming sessions without thermal throttling.

6.85-Inch 185Hz True Full-Screen Display and 9th-Gen Under-Display Camera

On the front, the phone features a 6.85-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel boasting an unprecedented 185Hz refresh rate with 165Hz backward compatibility.

Co-developed with BOE, the screen hides a 16MP ninth-generation under-display front camera beneath razor-thin 0.96mm bezels for a 96.3 percent screen-to-body ratio.

The panel hits 1,900 nits in high brightness mode and up to 5,000 nits peak, shielded by tough Gorilla Glass 7i front and back.

Mobile gamers also get ultra-responsive 700Hz capacitive shoulder triggers and dual stereo speakers tuned with Dolby Atmos.

Massive 8,400mAh Battery with 120W Wired and 80W Wireless Charging

Under the hood, an enormous 8,400mAh battery keeps the hardware powered through marathon gaming matches without running dry.

Charging speeds are equally formidable with 120W wired fast charging, 80W wireless charging, bypass charging support, and 22.5W reverse wired power delivery.

Photography is handled by a dual rear setup featuring a 50MP primary sensor with optical image stabilization and 8K recording alongside a 50MP ultrawide shooter.

The device is wrapped in an IP68 and IP69 dust and water-resistant chassis, complete with a 3.5mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi 7, and RedMagic OS 12 based on Android 17.
