RedMagic 12 Pro Pairs Qualcomm’s New Chip With the Phone Series’ Biggest Battery Yet

The gaming phone's 8,400-mAh battery is easily one of the largest we've seen in a phone that you can buy in the US.

The $949 RedMagic 12 Pro, announced Tuesday, includes one of the biggest phone batteries we’ve seen on a phone that will be on sale in the US.

The new gaming phone includes an 8,400-mAh battery, easily outdoing the 7,500-mAh battery on the RedMagic 11 Pro and the 5,000-mAh units we often see on mainstream flagship phones like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.

That large-capacity battery will power a 6.85-inch display that’s capable of running at a 1.5K resolution with a 185Hz refresh rate. This should mean that games running at that refresh rate will look incredibly smooth, although prior gaming phones running at 165Hz are no slouch at all when it comes to frenetic action games. RedMagic puts its 16-megapixel front-facing camera under the display, which, like prior RedMagic phones, will make the phone look like a small television with no display cutouts.

Select titles like PUBG Mobile will be capable of running at that refresh rate, while others like Genshin Impact and Asphalt Legends will be optimized to run at higher graphics settings with the phone. Like prior RedMagic phones, there are two shoulder button-like sensors that can be mapped to functions like shooting in games like Call of Duty Mobile or Fortnite.

The 12 Pro is among the first phones to go on sale in the US with Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor.
