1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,520
It's so rare to see something genuinely new in a phone these days that I'd say

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:12,639
it counts as a legendary pull when you get a device that not only has a fresh

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:17,760
new trick up its sleeve, but that also happens to hit the [music] fastest

4
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:19,039
benchmark scores we've ever tested. And

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:23,119
if you're like me and you've been dreaming of a flagship phone that has

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:29,119
old school cool features like a headphone jack, a bumpless camera, and a

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,880
giant battery, there is so much more to

8
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:36,079
love about Red Magic, who sponsored this video for us to show off the Red Magic

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:41,040
11 Pro, the [music] world's first mass-roduced liquid cooled phone. And

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:46,000
more importantly, [music] maybe to tear it apart so we can get a good look at

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:55,079
how they managed to pack teeny tiny water cooling into a phone that looks

12
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:55,079
like this and not like this.

13
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:08,775
Tear down. Step one, heat up the back to soften the adhesive that holds on the

14
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,795
Gorilla Glass backing.

15
00:01:08,775 --> 00:01:10,795
>> [music]

16
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:19,200
>> Oh, buddy. [music] Step two. Correct.

17
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:24,640
Red Magic's biggest blunder with this device. The fact that they covered up

18
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:28,960
any of this liquid cooling loop. Like, dude, even the ones with the transparent

19
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:33,040
window in the back. They don't show all of it. How flipping cool is this?

20
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:38,906
Seriously [music] though, in JerryRig Everything's video, he tears down the transparent back one. And all this

21
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:42,560
coverage of the lube here is just a [music] sticker. That is like the first

22
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:47,280
thing that I would take out. I got to assume that's there for shielding or

23
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:48,880
compliance or something cuz like damn.

24
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:55,119
Oh, look at that. I can move the liquid around myself. Okay, so next up, let's

25
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:58,079
pull up this. Oh,

26
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:03,200
interesting. Protective film. And then next, the chi charging coil is cable

27
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:10,640
managed into the cooling loop sticker. Hold on one sec. This is wild, dude.

28
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:12,720
I've seen ideas like this concepts. I

29
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:19,760
have never seen this in a production phone. There it is. That is thinner than

30
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:24,400
a playing card. And yes, [music]

31
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:26,800
that is real liquid. The pump is right

32
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:32,959
there. There is one thing that I can't overlook here and that is that the water

33
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:36,239
cooling system realistically is not

34
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:39,280
doing a lot of cooling. It's just maybe

35
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:42,239
moving heat around a little bit. The

36
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:46,879
main cooling is being done by the two other cooling systems that are

37
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:51,519
integrated into this phone. Red Magic boasts that they've integrated the phone

38
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:55,599
industry's largest vapor chamber ever.

39
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:58,480
And assisting it is this 24,000

40
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:01,519
RPM fan. The fan we can see now, but to get a look at the vapor chamber, we're

41
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:07,680
going to have to go quite a bit deeper. By the way, as I'm removing these screws, you guys might have noticed a

42
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:09,599
little bit of uh background noise.

43
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,879
That's because we've got this bad boy running 3D Mark Wildlife in the

44
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,920
background so that we can have the fan running and the liquid circulating as we

45
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:21,599
tear down our device. And uh you might have noticed that at full [music] tilt

46
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,840
you will hear that fan if you aren't using headphones. Though of course you

47
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:30,560
will be using headphones. [music] I mean you don't want to be that guy on the

48
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:34,080
bus, do you? [music] And besides, it's just so convenient. Headphone jacks,

49
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:39,440
man. Bring them back. With the camera cover removed, we reach a critical

50
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:45,599
element of the cooling system. And this one is not just for show. See, the SoC

51
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:52,080
that's at the heart of the Red Magic 11 Pro is the Snapdragon 8 Elite [music]

52
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:54,959
Gen 5, an 8 core beast with an Adreno

53
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:59,360
840 GPU that improves both traditional raster and [music] ray traced

54
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:04,400
performance, contributing to big gains over Red Magic's last gen devices. Huh.

55
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:09,280
but also in the highest performance profile, some pretty serious heat in

56
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:13,920
applications that are designed to draw maximum power, like repeated runs of 3D

57
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:17,919
Mark's Wildlife Stress Test. We're talking with Red Magic about it, but in

58
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:21,280
a nutshell, they might need to run the fan a little higher to keep device

59
00:04:20,037 --> 00:04:25,280
[music] surface temperatures under control once this thing hits the market.

60
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:29,840
And that really should help in a big way because you can see this cooling element

61
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:35,103
with the fan and an intake, some thermal compound, and an exhaust should go a

62
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:40,880
long way towards cooling our SoC right [music] here. That That is so cool. With

63
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,720
all that said, we only saw the surface temperatures go so high in power

64
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:50,639
viruses. Most mobile games are FPS capped, meaning that power consumption

65
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:52,400
shouldn't be able to run wild life. So,

66
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:55,600
why don't we see how things go in COD Mobile? First things first, fire up game

67
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,759
mode and then I guess yeah, let's go straight to multiplayer so I can show

68
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:04,000
off my terrible mobile gaming skills. All right. Wow, King Slayer. If only I

69
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,919
wasn't playing against bots that are designed to make me feel better and uh

70
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:12,800
take my money. Oh my god, look how awesome I am. I should buy so many

71
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:17,199
cosmetics right now. Score streak is ready

72
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:21,600
right there. Boom. Well, that was bound to happen,

73
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:26,880
but I can't blame the device. 520 Hz pulling rate triggers, 144 hertz

74
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:33,759
display. It really moves a fair bit of air, doesn't it? That's really cool. I'm

75
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,000
going to try and get one more kill.

76
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:40,000
Ah, screwed up. Now I can keep screwing up this phone by unscrewing the rest of

77
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:44,720
the screws with this LT precision screwdriver from LT Store.crew. Sorry, I

78
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:48,240
mean LTTCrew.com. ltstore.com.

79
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:53,199
A damn it. We've got a great look right now at the triple camera setup. There's

80
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:58,320
dual 50 megapixel rear cameras as well as a 2 megapixel camera for calculating

81
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:02,560
distance and a quad LED flash. And now it's gone. See you later, buddy. It's

82
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:07,280
nice knowing you. What's not gone though is the front camera. You might have

83
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:14,560
noticed this earlier. See that? No camera cutout, no dynamic island,

84
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:18,400
just some pixels on the screen that are lower density so that when you fire up

85
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:24,639
the front camera, you shoot through them. [music] Is it the sharpest front-facing camera in the world? No.

86
00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:30,880
But is your [music] screen not interrupted

87
00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:32,319
by ugly, unsightly holes? Yes. As for

88
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:37,199
the rear cameras, David's going to go take some shots outside. We'll let you guys be the judge. I don't want to let

89
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:42,800
any subjectivity get into this because this is a sponsored video. What isn't

90
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:45,680
subjective is the lack of a camera bump.

91
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:49,759
Now, I suspect for Red Magic, this is really more about gaming comfort, but

92
00:06:47,919 --> 00:06:53,520
for me, it's just nice that they're using the whole depth of the device for

93
00:06:51,600 --> 00:07:00,080
their cameras here, which allows me to just put my phone down flat on a surface

94
00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:03,360
without freaking it wobbling all over the place when I want to interact with

95
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:07,680
it. You can see they're like really using the entire depth here. Since we're

96
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:12,319
in here, now is a great time to get a better look at the backside of our

97
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:17,440
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5's cooling and

98
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:19,759
the up to 24 GB of LP DDDR5T

99
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:24,479
memory that's in this phone. The T, by the way, is for turbo, and it's a little

100
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:28,880
bit faster than LPDDR5X and probably as good as it's going to

101
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,800
get before we switch over to LPDDR6. in there somewhere. We've got up to a

102
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,919
terabyte of UFS 4.1 storage. But before we get to that, I need to disconnect

103
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:41,759
this battery, which I actually should have done a long time ago. And maybe let's talk about it a little bit. For

104
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:47,759
those of you who are eagle-eyed, yes, that is 27.77

105
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:51,280
W hours, or as we typically refer to

106
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:53,919
them in sort of mobile devices, 7500

107
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:57,759
milliamp hours. That is freaking nuts. Now, we just need to get a little bit of

108
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:01,120
alcohol. Woo! A lot of alcohol around the outsides. It's nice that Red Magic

109
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:05,759
gives you these pull tabs to lift out the battery. Wish more manufacturers

110
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:11,199
would DO THAT. [screaming and groaning] OH, YES.

111
00:08:08,635 --> 00:08:19,825
[laughter] That That is like a lot of the weight of the device. 93 g. All

112
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,825
right. 145 g. [laughter]

113
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:29,840
Literally like what what does that work out to? 35 plus% of the weight of this

114
00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:32,800
device is that ginormous battery. I'm

115
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:38,000
not even complaining. Like that is 50% more raw capacity than the Pixel 10 and

116
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,760
about double the iPhone 17. Though it is

117
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:44,159
worth noting that that second one especially is an apples to oranges

118
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:49,839
comparison. Red Magic claims that that giant battery will last up to 34 hours

119
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:55,360
of daily usage. And in our testing, we got just over 22 hours of continuous

120
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:59,600
video playback, about 20% longer than Red Magic's last gen phones. And when

121
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:05,360
you run out of juice, I don't know, sometime tomorrow, the Red Magic 11 Pro

122
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,440
boasts up to 80 watt wired and two-way

123
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:12,320
wireless charging. In our testing, by the way, we did see it hit the full 80

124
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:17,360
watts, but only briefly before settling in around 60 watts, which is still going

125
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:23,040
to give you a 0 to 100% charge in 59 minutes on what I would remind you is a

126
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,480
massive, massive battery. All right, now

127
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:29,856
that we've got this out, maybe we can get a closer look at what's going on with the SOC situation here. Oh, that's

128
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:34,399
nice. Check this out. The headphone [music] jack is on a nice little ribbon

129
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:39,040
daughterboard magig. So, if you ever need to replace it, it shouldn't be that

130
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:43,920
big of an operation. At least it's doable without replacing a large part of

131
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,959
it. Look at that. Oh, yeah. And there's

132
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:51,680
stuff that we've taken out that we wouldn't have had to, like this cooling tunnel here. I remember finding this out

133
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:55,680
and it it just it blew my mind then and it's still a little surprising to me

134
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,000
just how much of the heat of a phone is expected to be dissipated [music]

135
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,920
through the screen. Check this out. And here's thermal interface material right

136
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:09,360
between the front of the copper heat spreader that's applied [music] to our SOC here and what is essentially like

137
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,120
the screen. Intuitively to me, the

138
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:14,800
screen would have enough cooling to do on its own. In this case, it's 144

139
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:19,360
hertz. [music] They claim >> 1,800 nits peak brightness,

140
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:25,360
>> but we measured well in excess of that regularly over 2,000 nits with a peak of

141
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,160
just over 2400 nits. It's AMOLED, so of

142
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:34,720
course you're going to get great contrast. And probably the most impressive part of it to me is the over

143
00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:37,200
95% screen to body ratio. They've still

144
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:42,079
managed to squeeze in speaker here for your earpiece and then a speaker here,

145
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:45,120
so you get stereo sound. Actually, it's probably time to listen to Crab Rave. I

146
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:49,112
just realized we never actually talked about like the layout of the phone at

147
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:53,839
all. So, there's the triggers, [laughter] lock button, volume rocker, game mode

148
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:59,839
switch. There's the headphone jack that we discussed [music] before, intake, and

149
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:01,279
then of course SIM tray, USB type-C, and

150
00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:05,640
a couple microphones for, you know, noise cancellation, that sort of thing.

151
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:11,040
Once again, I don't want to get too deep into subjective stuff here, like audio

152
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:14,959
quality, but it's clear that it passes the I don't really need to carry my

153
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,760
Bluetooth speaker everywhere test. So, make of [music] that what you will. With

154
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,920
the tearown out of the way, it's time to show you guys what we measured for

155
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:26,720
performance from this. By all accounts, Qualcomm's claims about the Snapdragon 8

156
00:11:24,079 --> 00:11:31,279
Elite 5 platform having the fastest mobile CPU in the world ring true. So,

157
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:36,720
it should come as no surprise that the Red Magic 11 Pro hit the highest scores

158
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,560
we've ever seen in our multiple 3D Mark and Geekbench mobile benchmarks, even

159
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:45,120
higher than the other phones that we've tested [music] with the same processor.

160
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:50,079
But I do want to point out again that they may have some fine tuning to do on

161
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:55,600
their fan [music] curve. There's a few more things for us to talk about. The

162
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:59,279
body that we roflessly tore apart is

163
00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:01,120
IPX8 rated with RGB lighting. And you

164
00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:08,800
really want to talk about Mora, David? >> Yeah, I do. >> Okay. [snorts] Mora puts the AI back in

165
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:12,160
anime and waifu. That was it. That was the joke. That was

166
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:16,720
the entire reason you wanted to talk about Mora. >> There's two AIs in anime waifu.

167
00:12:14,959 --> 00:12:20,560
>> So, what do we do with Mora? >> We chat with Mora. She can help you in

168
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:28,160
game by giving you [music] tips. >> What is the point of you? [laughter]

169
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:32,240
>> Oh my god. She refers to you as commander by default. Oh my god. She

170
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,278
gives her weight. >> What? [laughter]

171
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:42,000
>> Sure. Let's ask. What's your foot size? I don't actually

172
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:47,013
have a physical body or foot [music] size. [laughter]

173
00:12:43,839 --> 00:12:50,000
Okay. But you told me you weigh 54

174
00:12:47,013 --> 00:12:53,618
[music] kg. I did mention my weight. That's part of the lore. [laughter]

175
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,079
Captain, stop. Stop. I surrender.

176
00:13:01,423 --> 00:13:08,079
[snorts] I need to close this now before I get in trouble with my wife. It has Gemini AI

177
00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:12,959
integration apparently, which might explain why it's kind of an idiot. But

178
00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:16,800
you know who's not an idiot? You. So, you'll have no trouble finding the Red

179
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:20,240
Magic 11 Pro at the link in the video description. And if you're not that into

180
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,920
Mora, you'll have no trouble removing her. Thanks again to Red Magic for

181
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,040
sponsoring this video and sending in these units. If you guys want more

182
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:30,560
smartphone content, you should either check out ShortCircuit, whose set we're

183
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:35,120
actually borrowing today, our channel where we unbox all kinds of tech, or why

184
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:40,320
not the old school phone water cooling series. We'll throw together a playlist

185
00:13:36,959 --> 00:13:42,480
for you. It um might have been been more

186
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:45,040
effective, but it certainly wasn't as elegant or
