ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Pro
Let’s talk about the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
Pros
- Excellent benchmark performance
- Outperforms Android competitors in benchmarks
- Strong CPU multi-core performance compared to iPhone 17 Pro
- High stability during demanding benchmarks
- Effective integrated liquid cooling and fan system
Cons
- Generates significant heat during intensive use
- Retail performance is slightly slower than Qualcomm's reference device
- Challenges in sustaining peak performance due to thermal limitations
“REDMAGIC 11 Pro also got really hot with a peak internal temp of 131° F or 55° C. However, it still made it through the entire benchmark with a very strong 80% stability. This is likely thanks to the fact that it literally has a liquid cooler built into it with fan assistance.”
“we found that the phone performed very well, much better than all Android competitors at the time, and it even managed to clobber the A19 Pro inside the Apple iPhone 17 Pro, at least when it comes to CPU multi-core performance.”
World's First Smartphone with REAL Liquid Cooling
