RedMagic 11 Pro’s Wild Liquid Cooling Wows—But Software Questions Linger (Nov 6, 2025)

6 November 2025

Updated: November 6, 2025

TL;DR (today’s highlights): RedMagic’s 11 Pro continues its global rollout with early-bird and open‑sales dates locked in, a teardown shows the first mass‑produced visible liquid‑cooling loop inside a phone, and early reviews praise performance while flagging software support concerns outside the EU/UK. Preorders and prices vary by region. ^[1]

What’s new today (Nov 6, 2025)

Regional launch update: Southeast Asia momentum grows—Malaysia’s debut lands today, Nov 6, with the global model confirmed to use a 7,500 mAh battery and 80 W wired plus 80 W wireless charging. ^[2]
Global on‑sale timing: Early-bird vouchers begin Nov 13, early access on Nov 18, and open sales on Nov 19 (North America/EU times vary by site). ^[3]
Pricing snapshot: US from $749 (12/256 “Cryo”); transparent “Nightfreeze”/“Subzero” variants with higher RAM/storage start at $849. Some markets list an entry at $699 equivalent. ^[4]
Teardown buzz: JerryRigEverything’s disassembly continues to trend, exposing the sealed coolant loop, a 24,000 RPM internal fan, and a very large vapor chamber. ^[5]
Early verdicts: Reviewers are impressed by performance/thermals, mixed on cameras, and cautious on software support (much better in EU/UK). ^[6]

The first phone you can watch cool itself

RedMagic’s “AquaCore” cooling system is more than marketing: a ceramic/piezoelectric micro‑pump circulates a fluorinated liquid through a visible ring on the phone’s back. It works alongside a 24,000 RPM waterproof fan, liquid‑metal interface material, and a vapor chamber to spread and shed heat under prolonged gaming loads. Reviewers and teardowns confirm the loop is sealed and actively circulates coolant in real time. ^[7]

New Atlas also notes bypass‑charging for long sessions, an under‑display selfie camera to keep the screen uninterrupted, shoulder triggers, and loud stereo speakers—design choices aimed squarely at players. ^[8]

(Specs compiled from official/global launch materials and hands‑on coverage.) ^[9]

Pricing and availability (global)

United States: from $749 (12/256, “Cryo”); transparent designs start at $849. Open sales Nov 19; early access Nov 18; vouchers Nov 13. ^[10]
European Union/UK: from €699/£629 (market‑dependent). Same sales timeline; regional store pages list full country availability. ^[11]
GCC/UAE: from AED 2,699; pre‑orders Nov 13, early access Nov 18, open Nov 19 (4 pm GST). ^[12]
Malaysia:Local debut Nov 6; specs align with the global variant (7,500 mAh; 80 W wired/wireless). ^[13]

How does the cooling actually behave under stress?

Independent teardowns and tests show the blue coolant visibly moving when powered, with the micro‑pump pushing fluid through a sealed path to spread heat away from the SoC and battery. The system works in tandem with the fan and a large vapor chamber—a multi‑layer approach that keeps frame rates steadier in long 3DMark/Genshin‑class runs. Several reviewers reported high stability in extended stress tests, with the fan noise the most obvious trade‑off. ^[14]

Performance, cameras and battery: early reviews

Performance & thermals. With Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and that tri‑cooling setup, early reviews record class‑leading gaming performance and strong sustained results. ^[15]

Cameras. As with many gaming phones, the dual‑50 MP rear system is decent but not flagship‑class; reviewers call image quality “good, not great,” with an emphasis on consistency over versatility. ^[16]

Battery & charging. The 7,500 mAh pack—and support for 80 W wired/80 W wireless in the global model—delivers long uptime; PhoneArena’s testing ranks it among the strongest endurance performers this year. ^[17]

The software caveat

Here’s where opinions split. RedMagic OS 11 (Android 16) is gaming‑first and feature‑rich (GameSpace, macros, fan control, on‑screen plugins). But multiple reviewers still question the polish and update cadence outside Europe. PhoneArena notes that “most regions” get three major Android updates, while EU/UK models now meet a five‑year software‑support requirement (in line with new regional rules), which significantly improves the long‑term story there. ^[18]

Should you buy the RedMagic 11 Pro?

Buy it if you want the best thermals per dollar for mobile gaming, love the industrial aesthetic (including the transparent variants with the visible coolant ring), and value shoulder triggers, a headphone jack, and long battery life. ^[19]

Wait or look elsewhere if you prioritize camera excellence, minimalist software without gamer‑centric add‑ons, or you’re in a region where long‑term OS/security support is limited compared to the EU/UK promise. ^[20]

Tariffs in Doubt, Musk Pay Plan Looms, Flight-Reduction Watch - Morning Squawk
November 6, 2025, 9:50 AM EST. Markets keyed on three headlines: Tariffs in limbo after Supreme Court hearing on the powers under the IEEA; a ruling that challenges the White House authority could force a rollback and shift assets across sectors. Tesla shareholders vote on Elon Musk's nearly $975 billion pay package, with outcomes due after the meeting and some groups opposing. Separately, operators plan to cut flight capacity at about 40 major airports by 10% starting Friday, a move that could ripple through travel stocks and airline margins. Traders will watch for updates on the court's decision, the vote tally, and any signaling comments from regulators or airlines.

Ripple: No IPO Plans, RLUSD Growth, and Global Expansion
November 6, 2025, 9:42 AM EST. Ripple says there's no IPO timeline and remains well-capitalized to fund growth. The company's customer base has doubled quarter over quarter, driven by stablecoin payments with its RLUSD. RLUSD has surpassed a $1B market cap within a year, boosted by pilots with Mastercard, WebBank, and Gemini. Ripple recently raised $500M in a strategic round, underscoring confidence in its payments infrastructure and regulatory-focused expansion. Management emphasizes independence from public markets, prioritizing cross-border network expansion and enterprise adoption over a listing. The trajectory highlights a shift toward utility-driven digital assets and continued investment in global infrastructure to scale institutional payments.
ALGT Losses Worsen but Analysts Forecast 99.56% Annual Earnings Growth Within 3 Years
November 6, 2025, 9:34 AM EST. Allegiant Travel (ALGT) remains in the red, with losses deepening at about 19.8% per year over five years and no improvement in net profit margin recently. Yet analysts forecast a dramatic turnaround, projecting earnings to grow at 99.56% annually and become profitable within three years. Revenue is expected to rise about 5.3% per year. The path hinges on an operational transformation: trimming older jets, expanding Boeing MAX usage to 20% of available seat miles by 2026, and ongoing cost control and digital initiatives. If the margin swing from -11.1% to 8.7% occurs, Allegiant could outpace peers even as headwinds persist from soft leisure demand, transition costs, and pilot shortages. The stock trades at about 0.5x Sales, indicating a relative bargain if the plan unfolds.
