Redmagic 11 pro smartphone gets cooled with running water
Redmagic unveils the 11 Pro smart fone which uses visible flowing water as its liquid cooling technology to maintain of device temperature low. Set to be released from November 3, 2025, the gadget houses a plate called Aqua Core within the device. Here, customized micro pumps inside the sheet circulate liquid coolant in microscopic channels. It is not an animation but an actual water stream that moves through the plate and is on full display at the back of the Redmagic 11 Pro smartphone. This entire plate with visible flowing water is embedded inside the frame of the device, allowing the system to fend off the heat from when gamers use the gadget heavily.
This is the first time that RedMagic is using running water as a liquid cooling technology for its recent smartphone, the 11 Pro. The company introduced the first smartphone to include a built-in fan in 2019 in the name of Redmagic 3. The fan works with the internal components to move hot air away from the processor during high-performance gaming, keeping the temperature stable, and this marked the start of Redmagic’s ongoing work in thermal design.

There’s also the ICE-X system, which is the Redmagic’s main thermal management structure that combines several layers of materials and components designed to control and distribute heat. These layers include a vapor chamber, copper plates, graphene sheets, and a turbo fan. The vapor chamber carries heat away from the chip through evaporation and condensation. Graphene, a conductive carbon material, spreads heat evenly over the surface. The copper plates serve as insulation and help transfer heat to the outer shell. The fan forces air through the chamber, moving warm air out and drawing cooler air in, and this setup allows the Smartphones, especially in previous models, to maintain performance during long gaming sessions.
