RedMagic has once again made headlines with its upcoming gaming flagship, the RedMagic 11S Pro+. The device has already been spotted in benchmarks ahead of its official launch, and the results are nothing short of impressive. A recent Geekbench 6 listing, believed to belong to the RedMagic 11S Pro+, reportedly achieved a score of over 4000 points in single-core performance. This is a significant milestone, as it appears to be the first time an Android phone has legitimately reached this level on the platform.
Multiple Geekbench 6 listings for the device surfaced on May 10 under the model number nubia NX809J. One specific entry reportedly crossed the 4000-point mark in single-core performance, scoring around 4010 points before disappearing from the database. However, several other listings still show high scores in the 3900+ range for single-core performance, alongside multi-core results exceeding 12,000 points in some cases. These benchmark results align with RedMagic’s reputation for aggressive performance tuning and overclocking.
RedMagic recently discussed its overclocking process and how it selects the “best of the best” Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chips. This could explain the significant jump in peak performance. In simple terms, the company claims to be selecting the strongest chips available. Another interesting detail is that instead of the usual Qualcomm ARMv8 labeling, the benchmark references a “QTI SM8850 3628 MHz (8 cores)” configuration.
Of course, raw clock speed only matters if the phone can sustain it without overheating. That’s where RedMagic’s cooling setup comes into play. The 11S Pro+ is expected to feature an upgraded active cooling fan alongside vapor chamber and liquid-cooling-style thermal systems. This continues the company’s usual approach of prioritizing performance above almost everything else.
The device is also expected to include RedMagic’s custom Redcore R4 gaming chip and the latest version of its CUBE Sky Gaming Engine. According to teaser material, the phone can supposedly run more than 200 games at up to 2K resolution and 144fps while simultaneously using frame interpolation and resolution upscaling.
The full RedMagic 11S Pro series is scheduled to launch in China on May 18. During this event, the company is also expected to announce a new gaming tablet.
