Red Magic 12 Pro+ specs Red Magic has confirmed

Red Magic calls the 12 Pro+ the best-feeling Red Magic flagship yet: lighter, thinner, narrower and more rounded than before. Its screen has no hole for the selfie camera, which sits under the display, and its bezels shrink to 0.96mm, from 1.25mm on the 11 Pro. Red Magic says the design is completely flat and keeps the see-through look of earlier models.

Cooling is the main pitch. Red Magic says the 12 Pro+ has an upgraded liquid cooling system that is the first in a phone to light up in RGB, a built-in fan that blows directly on the hottest parts, and an upgraded version of its ICE cooling system that covers every heat source. It also says the phone’s built-in PC emulator has been upgraded to run big PC games.

Red Magic hasn’t confirmed reports of an 8,400mAh battery with 120W charging.

Red Magic 12 Pro+ price

Red Magic hasn’t announced a price. In China, people who buy on the first day of sales get 12 months of interest-free payments, or 24 months for students, plus a choice of a gift: extra care coverage, Red Magic’s clip-on cooler or GTBuds earbuds. Red Magic’s China store also offers up to CNY 1,600 off with a trade-in.

For comparison, last year’s 11 Pro started at $699 on Red Magic’s global store, and the 11S Pro at $799.

Will the Red Magic 12 Pro come to the US?

Red Magic hasn’t announced a date, but it sells its phones in the US through its global online store, and its global account is already teasing the 12 Pro. Last year’s 11 Pro arrived on the global store in November 2025. For other gaming phones this fall, see our page on the OnePlus 16, and for more Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 phones, the Honor Magic 9 and the Xiaomi 18.

This page is updated as soon as Red Magic announces the 12 Pro+ price and specs at its Oct. 15 launch.
