RedMagic 11 will boast a world first
The RedMagic 11 is coming later this year, and today in China some details about it have been outed. The phone is going to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, which Qualcomm is announcing in September. It will boast an upgraded built-in cooling fan, which will allow it to have an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. The combination of an active fan and an IP rating was pioneered last month by the Oppo K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro, but those two are only water resistant. The RedMagic 11 will be the first ever smartphone to have an active cooling fan as well as both water and dust resistance. While this information was leaked by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, RedMagic's General Manager Jiang Chao has confirmed it, so it's official now. Source 1 (in Chinese) | Source 2 (in Chinese)

This Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 flagship smartphone will be the first of its kind for water resistance
The RedMagic 10 Pro — a stunningly pretty and super powerful smartphone — also featured a cooling fan, much like a few other gaming phones. However, this meant that the phone wasn't particularly good at dust and water resistance, something that's changing with the RedMagic 11. The new phone, likely coming in October or November of this year, will also have a cooling fan. However, this time around, RedMagic has been able to score a rating of IP68, a significant improvement over the previous phone's lack of a rating altogether. The RedMagic 11, according to a new report ( translated source ), will be the first ever phone to feature a fan and still come with an IP68 rating. RedMagic phones were already pretty excellent devices, in my opinion. They often provide users with a lot better specs for the same price, and the RedMagic 10 Pro had a display that I wish every phone would have: completely free of any phones are mostly focused around gaming, so sacrificing dust and water resistance was just a tradeoff for better cooling. With the RedMagic 11, however, even that one shortcoming has been rectified, which makes me think that it's going to easily become one of the best smartphones of 2025. RedMagic 10 Pro has one of the best displays we've seen in years. | Image credit — RedMagic In addition to the improved IP rating, the report also revealed something that I think many of us already expected. The RedMagic 11 will come with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chipset, which will be one of the most powerful processors found on phones in is also apparently planning to use this chipset for the upcoming Galaxy S26 phones, as its plans for the in-house 2 nm Exynos 2600 seem to have run into some trouble. Thanks to a recent listing for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge, we also know the performance scores of the Elite 2, and it's quite a sight to behold. The RedMagic 11 will likely debut in China around November, and release globally in December. Personally, I'm hoping for a few other phone manufacturers to take some cues from RedMagic, and start pivoting the industry back towards cutout-free displays.
