The Red Magic 11S Pro+ sets a performance record: The first Android smartphone to surpass 4,000 single-core points.
Nubia's new generation gaming phone has caused a sensation with its impressive Geekbench scores thanks to its top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and upgraded active cooling system.
Nubia is preparing to launch its next-generation gaming phone, the Red Magic 11S Pro+. Recently, the device appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking platform with extremely impressive performance results, setting new milestones for the Android smartphone community.
Superior processing power on the Geekbench 6 platform.
Data from Geekbench 6 shows that the device with model number nubia NX809J achieved a single-core score exceeding 4,000 points. Specifically, one result reached 4,010 single-core points before being removed from the database. This is an achievement that experts consider unprecedented for any Android smartphone on this platform.
Besides the single-core score, other tests maintained consistent performance with scores above 3,900. Notably, the multi-core performance was also extremely strong, exceeding 12,000 points under several test conditions. This result shows that nubia has implemented significant performance tweaks and overclocking to optimize the power of its gaming-focused device.
The secret behind the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite configuration.
A nubia representative revealed that the company only uses Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processors, belonging to the highest-performance chip group, to equip the Red Magic 11S Pro+. This is a rigorous selection process to ensure the device possesses the most powerful chips possible. The configuration reference information states "QTI SM8850 3628 MHz (8 cores)", instead of the usual Qualcomm ARMv8 label.
Cooling solutions and gaming support technologies
To maintain peak performance over extended periods without thermal throttling, the Red Magic 11S Pro+ continues to feature a robust cooling system. This system includes an upgraded active cooling fan, a large vapor chamber, and a liquid cooling solution. This is a key factor that sets Red Magic apart from typical flagship models, which are prone to overheating when handling demanding tasks.

In addition to the hardware, the company has integrated a custom Redcore R4 gaming chip and the latest version of the CUBE Sky Gaming Engine. This technology allows the phone to run over 200 games at 2K resolution and 144 fps through frame interpolation and resolution upscaling algorithms.
The Red Magic 11S Pro product line is expected to officially launch in China on May 18th. This event is also where nubia is expected to announce another new gaming tablet, promising to bring a comprehensive gaming device ecosystem to users.
