Alien Tech Unveiled: JerryRigEverything Dissects the RedMagic 11 Pro
The highly anticipated RedMagic 11 Pro gaming smartphone has undergone its ultimate trial by fire – or rather, by disassembly – at the hands of the renowned tech influencer JerryRigEverything. Known for his rigorous durability tests, Zach Nelson’s latest video delves into the inner workings of this enigmatic device, revealing a cooling system so advanced it prompted the bold declaration: "Alien technology. Apple will be pleased when they invent something like this in about 10 years." This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the sheer ingenuity packed into this relatively slim 8.9mm chassis.
Beyond the Surface: A Surprisingly Resilient Build
Contrary to some explosive tech reviews, the RedMagic 11 Pro proved remarkably resistant to Nelson’s usual brand of chaos. The phone’s aluminum frame, while susceptible to minor abrasions from a steel knife – a standard characteristic for the material – held up admirably against more extreme bending attempts. Nelson humorously noted that the device is virtually impossible to deform with bare hands, and likely several other more unconventional methods. The display also met expectations, scratching at a Mohs hardness level of six, aligning with the majority of devices that pass through JerryRigEverything's gauntlet.
The Heart of the Beast: Liquid Cooling and a Micro-Fan Frenzy
The true marvel of the RedMagic 11 Pro, however, lies within its groundbreaking active cooling system. Launched in October, this innovative setup masterfully blends a sophisticated liquid circulation system with a miniature, high-speed fan capable of spinning up to an astonishing 24,000 RPM. This dynamic duo works in tandem with a substantial vapor chamber to dissipate and distribute heat away from the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. Nelson was visibly impressed by the intricate design, likening it to a complex, otherworldly mechanism.

A Glimpse Beneath the Glass: Transparent Panels and Hidden Wonders
Nelson’s curiosity extended to the phone's under-display selfie camera. While initial impressions suggest acceptable image quality, he admitted that the lack of fine details like hair made a definitive judgment difficult, humorously comparing his appearance to an "average NPC." More dramatically, the screen's resilience to a lighter’s flame was tested, showing temporary damage that remarkably self-healed within seconds – a testament to its advanced display technology. However, it was the internal reveal that truly stole the show. The seemingly transparent glass back panel concealed a metallic layer, an ingenious obfuscation that, once removed, exposed the stunning cooling apparatus. The sight of shimmering blue liquid coursing through delicate, transparent conduits, punctuated by what Nelson speculated might be air or another white fluid, left him captivated. He pointed out a miniature piezoelectric ceramic micro-pump, akin to a phone's haptic motor, responsible for circulating the coolant. Astonishingly, the entire cooling module, save for its power source, could be detached and remain operational, a feat that further fueled the "alien technology" narrative. The fact that the smartphone was disassembled and reassembled while powered on further underscores its unique engineering.
Global Availability and Competitive Pricing
The Nubia RedMagic 11 Pro has recently made its debut on the global stage, offering a slightly reduced battery capacity compared to its Chinese counterpart. With a starting price of $699, it positions itself as a compelling, albeit premium, option in the high-end smartphone market, setting it apart from contemporaries like the Xiaomi 17 Pro, which has also been scrutinized by JerryRigEverything.
