The RedMagic 12 Pro has officially arrived in Malaysia as the brand’s latest flagship gaming smartphone. This is essentially the global version of the RedMagic 12 Pro+ which was launched in China last month.
Succeeding the RedMagic 11 Pro, the new model brings several upgrades, including Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip, a 185Hz OLED display and a larger 8,400mAh battery.
It also retains RedMagic’s signature active cooling system, which now features dual-loop liquid cooling with RGB lighting and a built-in turbo fan. Despite packing a larger battery, the RedMagic 12 Pro is actually thinner than its predecessor.

RedMagic 12 Pro specs and features
The RedMagic 12 Pro features a 6.85-inch BOE X11 OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a refresh rate of up to 185Hz. According to RedMagic, this is the industry’s first 185Hz full-screen display with an under-display camera.
The new gaming smartphone uses a ninth-generation under-display camera to provide an seamless edge-to-edge full-screen display without any notches of punch-hole cutout. It also boasts ultra-slim 0.96mm bezels, up to 1,900 nits of global peak brightness and 5,000 nits of local peak brightness.
For gaming, the display supports an instantaneous touch sampling rate of up to 5,000Hz and an average touch sampling rate of up to 500Hz. There’s also wet-hand touch support, allowing the screen to register inputs even when your fingers are damp.
Under the hood, the RedMagic 12 Pro runs on Qualcomm’s range-topping 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 with CPU clock speeds of up to 5GHz. It is paired with RedMagic’s dedicated RedCore R5 gaming chip, G1 display control chip and Energy Cube 4.0.
The dedicated gaming hardware handles functions such as touch optimisation, rendering acceleration, super-resolution and frame enhancement, which are designed to improve responsiveness and visual performance during gameplay.
One of the biggest highlights is its AquaCore Cooling System 3.0, which combines dual-loop liquid cooling, a built-in 25,500RPM turbo fan, an upgraded vapour chamber and Liquid Metal 4.0.
The liquid cooling system uses a dual-crystal micro-pump to circulate liquid through separate upper and lower loops. RedMagic claims the new pump delivers up to 85% more pressure than the previous generation while consuming as little as 20mW of power.
Meanwhile, the redesigned vapour chamber offers a 15% increase in effective cooling area and 50% higher thermal conductivity. RedMagic has also added RGB lighting to the liquid cooling system, which is visible through the phone’s transparent rear panel.
Since this is a gaming-centric smartphone, the RedMagic 12 Pro also features 520Hz shoulder triggers, dual symmetrical 1115E speakers with Dolby Atmos certification and an 0815 X-axis linear motor for haptic feedback.
In the camera department, the RedMagic 12 Pro gets a dual-camera setup consisting of a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS) and a 50MP ultra-wide camera. For selfies and video calls, there’s a 16MP front-facing camera hidden beneath the display.
The phone retains RedMagic’s distinctive transparent rear design with RGB lighting and a flat back without a protruding camera bump.
In terms of durability, the device comes with IP68 and IP69-rated dust and water resistance. However, the cooling fan area carries a separate IPX8 rating due to its independent airflow channel.
For connectivity, the RedMagic 12 Pro supports Wi-Fi 7, USB 3.2 Gen 2, dual-SIM and NFC with Google Pay. It also comes with a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and an infrared blaster.
Another significant upgrade is the battery. The RedMagic 12 Pro packs a massive 8,400mAh battery, which is 12% larger than the 7,500mAh battery found on the RedMagic 11 Pro.
Interestingly, despite the increased capacity, the new device measures just 8.5mm thick, compared with 8.9mm on its predecessor.
For charging, it supports 80W wired fast charging as well as wireless charging. There’s also bypass charging, which allows the phone to draw power directly from the charger without charging the battery. This helps reduce battery heat generation during extended gaming sessions while plugged in.
Out of the box, it runs RedMagic OS 12 based on Android 17. The operating system includes the X-Gravity gaming centre, along with Gaming AI and Tactical Coach, which can provide gameplay assistance and strategic suggestions in supported games.
