The fastest gaming phones yet in 2026?

The new models arrive with upgrades spanning performance, thermal management, display quality, and battery capacity, alongside features designed to bring PC-style gaming capabilities to a smartphone form factor.

The devices are built around a 6.85-inch 1.5K OLED panel running at a 144Hz refresh rate. The display incorporates BOE's X10 under-display lighting material and houses a 16MP under-display selfie camera. 

Additionally, the screen carries SGS and TÜV Rheinland eye protection certifications and integrates a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication.

Both phones are driven by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version chipset, which reaches a peak CPU clock speed of 4.74GHz. 

REDMAGIC states the device recorded over 4.6 million points on the AnTuTu benchmark, making it the highest yet for gaming phones. 

Complementing the main processor is the company's proprietary Red Core R4 gaming chip, which is engineered to enhance graphics rendering, frame interpolation, touch responsiveness, and overall gaming throughput.

The features

To manage heat during sustained gaming sessions, the series employs a dual cooling architecture combining liquid and air cooling. The system features a redesigned liquid cooling channel, a 24,000rpm cooling fan, and a 43-blade internal fan structure. 

REDMAGIC notes that the cooling fan carries an IPX8 water resistance rating, a certification that also extends to the device itself.

Battery configurations differ between the two models. The standard REDMAGIC 11S Pro is equipped with an 8,000mAh cell supporting 80W wired charging, while the Pro+ variant carries a 7,500mAh battery with 120W wired charging and 80W wireless charging. 

The Pro+ model additionally includes the full liquid cooling module, intended for users seeking more aggressive thermal management during extended play.

Both variants feature dual 50MP rear cameras for main and ultra-wide. 

Connectivity features are WiFi 7, 5G, 4G, Bluetooth 6.0, GPS, NFC, and dual SIM.

The phones ship running Android 16 with REDMAGIC OS 11 + Steam Direct connectivity, enabling users to access compatible PC titles through the device's built-in gaming interface.
