The REDMAGIC 12 Pro+ launch brings the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip, an 8,400mAh battery and a liquid cooling system together in one gaming phone. It will reach global markets, and likely Nepal, as the REDMAGIC 12 Pro, with details due on November 3, 2026.

REDMAGIC 12 Pro+ Overview
Design and Display
The REDMAGIC 12 Pro+ sticks with the brand’s mecha styling, but the body is lighter, thinner, narrower and more rounded than its predecessor, the RedMagic 11 Pro+. The transparent back reveals the dual-ring cooling loop, with a central RGB ring glowing in the middle. It comes in Night, Silver Wing and Ice Blue transparent finishes. The body is 8.55mm thick and weighs 223g, and the flat rear profile keeps horizontal grip comfortable during long matches.
Up front sits a 6.85-inch 1.5K OLED with 2,688 x 1,216 resolution, 10-bit color and a native 185Hz refresh rate, built with BOE. The bezels measure only 0.96mm, and the 16MP selfie camera hides under the panel, so no punch-hole interrupts the picture. Touch sampling holds at 500Hz and spikes to 5,000Hz instantly. 2,592Hz PWM dimming and SGS-certified eye protection help during late-night sessions.
Performance and Software
Power comes from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, built on TSMC’s 2nm process with peak speeds of up to 5GHz. Qualcomm says the chip family delivers up to 13% faster CPU and 44% faster GPU results than the previous generation. The Red Core R5 co-processor handles touch calibration, lighting and frame tracking. Memory goes up to 16GB of LPDDR5T with UFS 4.1 storage, and the listed AnTuTu score is 5,670,006.
For REDMAGIC 12 Pro+ gaming performance, the brand promises ray tracing in six titles, 185Hz play in CrossFire: Mobile and frame enhancement across more than 200 games. A pre-launch Geekbench 7 listing also showed 3,677 single-core and 12,679 multi-core points, though one result cannot predict behavior in long sessions.
Cooling runs on the ICE Magic system, which the brand calls the first RGB liquid cooling setup on a phone. A dual-crystal micro-pump pushes fluorinated fluid through two channels, one over the chipset and one over the battery, and the RGB light follows the coolant path. A fan spinning at up to 25,500rpm adds active air cooling. Liquid metal, a vapor chamber and graphene layers handle passive heat spreading.
The phone runs REDMAGIC OS 12 on Android 17. It adds the Magic Island notification bar, updated AI tools and One-Touch Transfer for iOS devices. A PC emulator with Steam Workshop support and 8K 60Hz casting round out the gaming tools.
Camera
The REDMAGIC 12 Pro+ carries a 50MP main camera with a 1/1.55-inch sensor, an f/1.88 aperture and optical stabilization, which keeps daylight shots and videos steady. A 50MP ultra-wide lens with a 120-degree view and f/2.2 aperture sits beside it for group shots and scenery. The camera hardware is modest next to the chipset, which suits a phone built for gaming first.
The 16MP OmniVision selfie camera sits beneath the screen, with anti-glare algorithms to keep selfies and video calls clear. An ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor adds a quick way to unlock. Under-display cameras usually trail a normal punch-hole sensor in detail, so the selfie camera is best seen as a practical extra rather than a headline feature.

Battery and Connectivity
The REDMAGIC 12 Pro+ packs an 8,400mAh battery, a big pack for a body only 8.55mm thick. Wired charging reaches 120W with PD, PPS, QC and DCP support, and wireless charging reaches 80W. Bypass charging sends power straight to the phone during gameplay, which cuts heat and battery strain in long sessions.
Connectivity includes dual-SIM 5G, Wi-Fi 7, NFC, an infrared sensor and USB-C, along with the 3.5mm headphone jack that many gamers still want. Dual 1115E stereo speakers and three microphones handle audio. 700Hz capacitive shoulder triggers with micro-motion feedback add console-like control, and gaming network acceleration is said to reduce jitter and latency.
