REDMAGIC 12 Pro: A Gaming Smartphone with a 185Hz Screen and AI
A New Generation of Gaming Flagship
REDMAGIC has introduced its latest gaming smartphone, the REDMAGIC 12 Pro. The device is powered by the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor, built on 2nm architecture and capable of reaching 5GHz. To maintain peak performance, the smartphone incorporates the RedCore R5 gaming chip, which manages graphics rendering, super-resolution, and frame rate optimization.
A standout feature is the advanced cooling system. The AquaCore Cooling System 3.0 utilizes an improved vapour chamber and liquid metal technology. It features a dual-crystal micro-pump that dissipates heat into a fan spinning at 25,500 RPM. These components are visible through transparent panels accented with RGB lighting, giving the device a signature gaming aesthetic.
Display and Technical Specifications
The REDMAGIC 12 Pro features a 6.85-inch 1.5K OLED display, marking an industry-first 185Hz refresh rate. The panel reaches a peak brightness of 5,000 nits, ensuring high visual quality in any lighting condition. The touch panel supports an instantaneous sampling rate of up to 5,000Hz and remains responsive even with wet hands.
Battery capacity has increased by 12% compared to the previous generation, reaching 8,400mAh, despite the phone’s thickness being reduced to 8.5mm. The 80W charger supports both wired and wireless power, while the Battery Bypass function allows the phone to run directly from a power source, reducing battery wear during long gaming sessions.
Artificial Intelligence and Gaming
The smartphone runs on REDMAGIC OS 12, based on Android 17. The system includes X-Gravity features that provide gamers with real-time strategic advice. With AI assistance, users can track game progress and optimize character development in popular titles such as Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. Additionally, the smartphone supports PC game emulation, providing users with access to their Steam libraries.
