Red Magic has announced its Red Magic active liquid cooling technology. This innovation stands out as the world’s first active liquid cooling system for phones. Inspired by gaming PCs and AI servers, the system prevents overheating during intense gaming. It will debut with the Red Magic 11 Pro series and deliver high performance with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip.

How does Red Magic active liquid cooling work?

Unlike passive vapor chambers, a ceramic micropump circulates the coolant. This transfers heat from the chip to the fan-cooled radiator. The company has developed this hybrid air-liquid cooling, which it calls a “dual-rail” design, over thousands of iterations. This ensures stable performance in phones for extended periods.

The pump is made of piezoelectric ceramic. The internal channels are laser-cut at the micron level, ensuring a smooth flow. The coolant is an antifreeze-grade fluorinated mixture and operates between -40°C and 70°C. Used in AI servers, this liquid provides excellent insulation and heat transfer. Additionally, low-temperature bonding and puncture-resistant membranes were used.

Red Magic has subjected the system to tens of thousands of drop tests. No leaks or failures were observed. These innovations increase reliability in daily use, as phones are subject to frequent drops. This brings active cooling technology to mobile devices and fundamentally addresses the overheating problem.

The Red Magic 11 Pro series is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. In internal testing, we played Wuthering Waves for two hours straight at 90fps on Ultra graphics. No frame drops were experienced. The series optimizes over 200 games for 2K resolution and 144Hz displays. These features bring the mobile gaming experience closer to the desktop.
