RedMagic 12 Pro Global Launch Brings 8,400 mAh Battery and 185Hz Display
RedMagic 12 Pro has officially launched for the global market, carrying an 8,400 mAh battery, a 185Hz display, and an RGB liquid cooling system that sets it apart from competitors, telset.id reported. The release brings the hardware previously introduced in China as the RedMagic 12 Pro+ to international buyers, though with distinct regional adjustments to charging speeds and pricing.
The global variant features wired charging capped at 80W, stepping down from the 120W capability found on the Chinese model, while adding wireless charging and bypass charging. According to The Verge via telset.id, the massive 8,400 mAh battery provides enough capacity to last between one and two days under heavy usage, even with the RGB lights and cooling fan running simultaneously.
Display specs and chipset hardware power the device
At the front, the device uses a 6.85-inch 1.5K BOE X11 OLED panel boasting an industry-first 185Hz refresh rate and a true full-screen layout. The screen achieves this uninterrupted view by housing the 16MP ninth-generation selfie camera beneath the display, accompanied by an ultrasonic 3D fingerprint scanner. Bezel thickness measures 0.96mm, while peak brightness hits 1,900 nits globally and 5,000 nits locally, with a touch sampling rate reaching 5,000Hz.
Under the hood, processing duties fall to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, backed by the RedCore R5 gaming chip and G1 display chip. The cooling apparatus combines a dual-loop liquid system with RGB illumination, a 25,500 RPM fan, a 15% larger vapor chamber, and Liquid Metal 4.0. The updated micro-pump generates an output pressure of 130kPa while drawing just 20mW of power.
Global Pricing and Regional Release Schedule
Pricing for the RedMagic 12 Pro starts at €899 in Europe for the entry-level configuration, representing a €200 jump over the RedMagic 11 Pro starting price of €699. In North America, base pricing begins at $949 for the 12GB+256GB tier, rising to $1,049 for the 16GB+512GB model and $1,199 for the 16GB+1TB version, according to The Verge data cited by telset.id.
