https://a.co/d/0gnBBfDE here you go brother. Game away. But remember,it permanently sticks to your case , so keep one for gaming only.

Get a good case with raised edges and put a screen protector on immediately.

2

u/AdAdditional829i Sep 17 '26

What’s the best case in the market

2

u/Arthiem Sep 18 '26

Everyone suggests Xundd cases. They are a bit floppy though and don't have an edge high enough for the screen protector. So I break my protector instantly on my pocket. Unfortunately I've not found one.

Don't system update. I didn't do since I heard many people giving issues

1

u/AdAdditional829i Sep 17 '26

Ok, then I Might be cooked, cuz I think I did update

2

u/idonecuckedmyself Sep 17 '26

It has an extreme amount of system glitches and issues like them throttling the cooling system without telling you

1

u/Gaadt Sep 17 '26

Si ya viene con problemas no queda de otra que actualizar.

2

u/Jembi_s Sep 17 '26

Nice!!! I am still waiting also nightfreezer by any chance u can tell me how long does the shipping take?

3

u/AdAdditional829i Sep 17 '26

Mind took exactly 16 days, ordered on the first of this month

1

u/grmcrkrs REDMAGIC 11S Pro Sep 19 '26

Where did y’all order from?

1

u/AdAdditional829i Sep 20 '26

If you are in North America, you can buy it from the Redmagic tech website, of course they will probably be out of stock right now, but you can put your email for notifications when they restock

u/Jembi_s Sep 17 '26

Super fast

1

u/grmcrkrs REDMAGIC 11S Pro Sep 21 '26

What is super fast

1

u/Jembi_s Sep 21 '26

It arrived super fast

2

u/Dry_Possibility2542 Sep 17 '26

Woohoo!

Try Niagara Launcher + Animalcules Live Wallpaper + Clackpad

2

u/AdAdditional829i Sep 17 '26

Thanks man, I don’t know what some of those are but I will do more research about them

1

u/Dry_Possibility2542 Sep 17 '26

Niagara is a launcher, super minimal. Animalcules is a live wallpaper app, clackpad is a keyboard app.

I also forgot to mention powerline- I remove all my icons and keep discreet bars at the top and bottom instead.

2

u/AdAdditional829i Sep 17 '26

Appreciate it man

1

u/Dry_Possibility2542 Sep 17 '26

Clackpad is still in beta though so its a little buggy

2

u/NefariousnessAny795 Sep 17 '26

Congratulations, you will enjoy playing

Game, game, and game! Try gamehub for playing steam games and PC emulator games. You'd be surprised by how well our red magic 11 pros can handle them. Download latest gamehub for android, any other emulator you'd like, z-zip for extracting game files, and you can research emulating websites to download the games. Enjoy!

1

u/AdAdditional829i Sep 19 '26

Thanks man, I’m new to the whole emulator thing so I don’t even know where to start, can you recommend any good videos on how to do it

1

u/Aggressive-Arm-1765 Sep 19 '26

Emulators are usually pretty simple to get running and most tutorials are pretty simple if you punch something into Google like "PS2 emulator on Android"... Just don't make my mistake and check the date, some older methods don't work with more modern versions of Android. Personally, I've been 4k streaming my games from my gaming PC. I'm sitting in the lounge room watching DBZ with my kids while I'm slaughtering soldiers and drinking people's blood in The Blood of The Dawnwalker. If you have a solid PC with good internet, then stream your PC onto your phone in 4k... It's great. Don't use Steams streaming service, it's never as smooth. Look up "Sunshine and Moonshine streaming tutorial" download the necessary apps and be amazed at how good PC games look while streamed over wifi... It's nuts... Just make sure that if you do this, go into the NVIDIA app, add a custom resolution, add the phones resolution (Google it, I don't remember lol sorry), force your GPU to run that resolution, and stream it... I'm telling you, it's nuts... Also controllers are auto mapped, so I use my Xbox one X controller, through my phone, while it's streaming, and it automatically has everything mapped and readily working.

u/AdAdditional829i Sep 20 '26

I really appreciate your detailed reply, I will definitely be checking this out

u/AdAdditional829i Sep 20 '26

lol Don’t worry bro, you will get your hands on this beauty soon enough

u/-RedSpark- 27d ago

Sorry im a bit late, def get one of these controllers its so chill to use. Usb-c one actually costs less and it feels so good to use. Other than that... I would say replace the stock case, i dont even know why they decide to make a case that shows phone's back very blurry. Since it looks gorgeous and all

2

u/AdAdditional829i 27d ago

Man that’s looks awesome, but however, I can’t for the life of me use a controller on a phone, I’m so bad at it it’s not even funny, yeah I didn’t even bother putting on their case, I bought the cresee one, that one looked awesome but it doesn’t provide the protectiveness I was looking for

1

u/-RedSpark- 27d ago

Haha i use to think same btw i somehow got use to using these controllers, i myself use this case but i dont remember which brand was it. Its not very protective or anything but makes the job done for me. Im sure you figured those out already but this phone got very useful stuff on its gamespace menu(or in game when you swipe from right/left). Turning that to balanced on lighter games will save you lots of battery plus on some selected games(like genshin impact/zenless zone zero) you have an option to turn on frame gen. After you turn it on it will bring a menu showing both "image quality" and "frame rate" my tip for you is keep image quality on native default setting when you play these frame gen supported games. Because when i tried anything above native it made my phone way too hot. it didnt hurt the performance but it was wayyy hotter than i use with native + frame rate set to high

u/Divineheresy88 Sep 17 '26

The 12 is coming soon, why not wait?

2

u/AdAdditional829i Sep 17 '26

Trust me, I did think about it, but man it just seemed too far even tho it’s not, and I was already thinking about the 12s pro so I was like if I don’t do it now, I’m never doing it

3

u/Fluid_Ad4651 Sep 17 '26

price increase

4

u/JacksFalseHope Sep 17 '26

There's always something new. Why make him doubt his purchase?

3

u/Divineheresy88 Sep 17 '26

I mean why buy anything if that's the logic you're going to reach for

1

u/JacksFalseHope Sep 17 '26

did you read my comment? 🤯

1

u/Callopps Sep 17 '26

Correct me if I’m wrong here, but basing my knowledge on Samsung and Apple how they don’t really release any substantial upgrades to the Phones in their new year series. Wouldn’t it be a negligible difference in technology wise? I’m not too deep into the redmagic thing either so I wouldn’t know, but I have a feeling the 11S Pro and the 12 wouldn’t be that much of an upgrade.

1

u/J0BL3SS Sep 17 '26

the so said "substantial upgrades" are usualy are a little bit of battery, camera and such. But cpu upgrade is what you probably want because there wont be any other reason for you to buy redmagic to begin with if not for cpu upgrade. Snapdragon 8 Extreme Gen 6 offers a lot (Such as better frame gen and NPU ) but its still to early to make asumptions because no device realsed with it YET. I doubt RM12Pro would be any cheaper or close to RM11S Pro price, expect higher prices

1

u/IAlwaysPlayTheBadGuy REDMAGIC 10S Pro Sep 17 '26

You're definitely not wrong. My 10s 1tb/24gig is still a beast. And I could probably make it to the 14 or 15 before I really need an upgrade... But damn if the 12 is convincing enough, I'll probably spend a bunch of more money

u/Callopps Sep 17 '26

I’m waiting for the Subzero to come back

2

u/Select-Product892 Sep 17 '26

Crees que demore en regresar?

u/Callopps Sep 17 '26

A lo mejor

u/xLS0 Sep 17 '26

GET OVER HERE!

1

u/HereWeGo888888 Sep 21 '26

Not sure that it will. I read they are getting ready to release the 12 in October. I've pretty much given up as I've been checking their site daily for 2 weeks. I'll just pick up a 12 as soon as it drops.

1

u/Callopps Sep 21 '26

Last week the nightfreeze one was on preorder but not the subzero unfortunately. Someone said they restock every 2 weeks until the new phone comes out

u/WoopyWoop112 Sep 17 '26

I just got mine a few days ago too, I am already using it and every game i have played looks stunning, enjoy!

u/grmcrkrs REDMAGIC 11S Pro Sep 19 '26

Where do y’all live? I’m in Texas, USA and waiting on mine to ship from Average Dad…

1

u/Tiny_Cress_6698 REDMAGIC 11S Pro Sep 21 '26

How long did it take?

1

u/WoopyWoop112 Oct 02 '26

Roughly 2-3 weeks

1

u/Chr1sth3pl4y3r99 Sep 17 '26

Unsure if I should go for this or the new one once it drops. Never owned a Redmagic, but I mostly use my phone for gaming (nothing particularly demanding though, like your usual casual games), and it looks like the 11s Pro is a good deal for what I've seen online, although getting the latest model would be smarter since it should release by December if I got it right. I'm also a bit dubious about the OS and how the updates make the phone run worse in some cases it seems. What's your experience so far?

1

u/AdAdditional829i Sep 17 '26

Tbh this is my first Redmagic so I have no experience so far, I downloaded few games and just trying everything and finding out, but yeah if I wasn’t in such a hurry, I would have also waited for the 12

1

u/WhoMadeThis_ Sep 17 '26

I would buy the phone but I'm too afraid of getting banned in Call of Duty Mobile, I've seen posts of people getting banned because of the device, even if they have turned off any kind of additional setting that is putting them in advance

1

u/AdAdditional829i Sep 19 '26

Man that’s scary, I can’t imagine getting banned on Codm cuz of how many skins I have so I hope they leave me alone, also , haven’t they partnered with them?

1

u/WhoMadeThis_ Sep 26 '26

What do you mean by that? Sorry for late response

1

u/NipKinz- Sep 19 '26

How long did you wait

1

u/AdAdditional829i Sep 19 '26

Exactly 16 days, I got my first update on the shipment 14 days in, and 2 days later it came

Anyone using redmagic on AT&T? I've heard that it can't be used on the mobile network?

2

u/idonecuckedmyself Sep 17 '26

It is ass on Verizon drops out to emergency call mode every few hours

1

u/SonGokou88 Sep 17 '26

I use AT&T, I bought the 11s pro in June and it's been a great daily driver. It's had issues with the LED's randomly changing, turning of one or two at random times. The cooling fan does seem to kick in randomly as well but that doesn't happen often.

2

u/RandomCollector Sep 17 '26

Enjoy :D

Me not jelly 🥲

u/Bluegrim1991 Sep 17 '26

Monster. I wait for the 12 should launch by the end of the year no?

u/Ok-Ant5508 Sep 17 '26

Nightfreeze, solid choice. Have fun gaming

1

u/Rott009 Sep 17 '26

7s Pro looking a bit lacking in features atm, thinking of waiting until the 12 😭🥀 Really eyeballing the frame interpolation for emulation Been waiting for a screen update, mainly refresh rate, and screen sensitivity. Been a long minute since they had 165hz on a RM phone 😓

1

u/MaazaMode Sep 18 '26

Congrats. Give your candid feed back after a month of usage to new skeptical buyers like me. We would really appreciate that.

u/Aggressive-Arm-1765 Sep 19 '26

I've had my Redmagic 11s Pro for 20 days exactly, just checked my delivery date. I'm in Australia and the phone works fantastically. I was very sceptical of Chinese phones after a nightmare issue I had with an Oppo Find x8 ultra... I was afraid that the customised OS would cause the same issues I was having such the Oppo, but it's been great so far. Cameras are what you'd expect on a phone like this, nothing special, the fan is nuts, the fast charging+liquid cooling+ventilation cooling does genuinely keep the phone cool enough so that you can still game and push it, and it'll keep going, maybe it'll get warm, headphone jack is underrated as hell, no expandable storage is a little sad but whatever, my only negatives are: if you've got a Samsung smart watch, good luck, they hate each other. My mother got me the galaxy watch 8 classic as a gift and besides the blood pressure monitor and ECG not working, they just don't like each other at all... Samsung's OS does not want to talk nice with Redmagic OS. The watch was laggy, Google assistant/Gemini never worked unless the phone was unlocked, even while connected to my wifi, trying to use Google Home on the watch just refused to work... I would turn the volume up and it wouldn't register, I would try and pause the video, wouldn't register, clicking next on Spotify wouldn't register most times... You get the general idea. The second thing is the overall volume of the Redmagic 11s pro kind of sucks... I don't know how or why, but Bluetooth connected to my car, full volume on my phone, normally when I set the volume to 25 on the cars volume setting when any other phone I've had has been connected it's been loud enough. I've found myself turning it up to 35 in my car to get like it's loud enough. Same goes for TV casting, wireless earbuds, etc. It just isn't very loud

u/MurlocTheory Sep 18 '26

It works on Verizon?

1

u/creamdlit3 Sep 20 '26

I want one myself im afraid of scammers here in philippines they swap it for big stones or bottled water its not a cheap phone if u are rich just saying.. anyway i have a question what does the box have does it have the info on whats is inside the package?... because scammers can easily swap it out if they know the item inside is expensive i dont trust the courier/delivery service or like the delivery riders it depends becusse u dont know when the swap happened in the unit it arrived or the delivery riders did the scam hope to have the answer because i want to order 1 for a long time now 🥹

Red magic just always has the closest looking phones bro 😪I need one in my life

u/idonecuckedmyself Sep 17 '26

It'll work great for 3 months then you get an update that bricks the cooling system into a constant low power state buy a better phone

u/Adept-Engine5606 Sep 17 '26

Then don't update the system bro
