Excellence demands power. From a physics perspective, power is the general driving force in any operation most of the time, and in the modern world, power is what helps us stay connected and plugged in. Battery power in smartphones has come a long way since its invention, drastically evolving to keep up with the power-hungry devices that they’re meant to support.
Now, the mobile gaming industry has taken off dramatically, and gaming smartphones are investing in batteries to keep up with the power consumption of the traditional PC or console. For REDMAGIC, the journey to create reliable, powerful, and safe batteries for our devices has driven us to innovate and elevate every design over the years, making them better, stronger, and more efficient.
In this blog article, we look at the REDMAGIC battery evolution and how we’ve upgraded our powerhouse gaming devices to stay ahead of the curve. We also look at how our latest flagship gaming smartphone, the REDMAGIC 11 Pro, is carrying on the legacy of pioneering battery and charging craftsmanship. For now, let’s focus on why batteries matter that much anyway.
How Battery Capacity Affects You
The battery of your smartphone obviously has a direct impact on how long your phone lasts. However, battery capacity also entails safety precautions, charging features, battery health optimization, and many other considerations. For a gaming phone, your battery specs need to be reliable and safe to prevent overheating, overcharging, and power drain.
Generally, larger phones have larger batteries, but smartphones today are evolving to be more compact and portable without compromising too much on power. Charging is also a major deciding factor when it comes to battery capacity. Users should opt for the maximum wired charging rate of a smartphone. Typically, the larger the number, the faster the phone will recharge. A 100W charger, for instance, will charge your device considerably faster than a 45W one.
At REDMAGIC, we specialize in providing flexible and fast charging, along with charge separation, to power your device directly from the source without affecting the battery. This is ideal for extended gaming sessions that might burn through your battery.
Your phone’s display, brightness, and performance will also heavily influence your battery life. A good gaming smartphone optimizes battery capacity with cooling and manages performance. In our REDMAGIC range, our advanced cooling systems work overtime to keep the heat at bay while protecting and extending the battery life of the device. Additionally, REDMAGIC smartphones feature varying performance modes to optimize and maintain battery life when needed without affecting gameplay.
The REDMAGIC Powerhouse Lineup
The REDMAGIC gaming smartphone lineup features a long list of awards and praise. From performance and cooling to battery life and design, the REDMAGIC team has always committed to innovating and improving throughout the years with each model.
When it comes to battery capacity, our range of devices has continuously improved in size, features, protection, and charging capabilities. Since 2018, when our Mars device’s battery capacity debuted at around 3800mAh with 18W charging, we’ve been elevating the power behind our devices to reach award-winning levels today. Let’s take a brief look at some of the main highlights of the REDMAGIC range, starting more recently from the era of the 10 Pro.
REDMAGIC 10 Pro
The REDMAGIC 10 Pro came out the gate swinging with its new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and immediately boasted an enormous 7,050mAh battery—our largest battery capacity at the time. Compared to the REDMAGIC 9S Pro, the 10 Pro boasted 25% more energy density while maintaining a sleek and slim profile. This cutting-edge advancement allows for a larger battery capacity without compromising on design.
One of the key accolades of the 10 Pro was being named the “Best Battery in the Smartphone Awards 2024” by Marques Brownlee. The popular YouTuber has an enormous audience and ranks smartphones accordingly. According to Brownlee, the 10 Pro was the easy battery champ of 2024, citing that the phone would go from 0 to 100 in half an hour or so with its 100W peak charging capabilities.

Brownlee also praised the device’s battery maintenance features that allow you to cap charging at 80% or enable bypass charging to avoid thermal damage. He also shared that the 10 Pro was entirely designed around gaming, with an exposed active fan that actively keeps the device cool during gaming and charging.
TechRadar also praised the power of the 10 Pro in their review, stating that the device’s 7,000 mAh battery stands out from the crowd, having about twice the battery capacity of the iPhone 15 Pro and being 45% larger than the Samsung S25 Ultra.
REDMAGIC 10S Pro
To carry the crown forward, our REDMAGIC 10S Pro was built to redefine power in its own way as well. This powerhouse device is fitted with a hefty 7,050 mAh battery capacity and seamlessly became the largest battery available for flagship smartphones at the time. With the 10S Pro, you could seamlessly get up to 52 hours of power for daily use, while the 80W fast charging kept you ready to go with a full battery in just 40 minutes. The phone’s charge separation feature further safeguards your battery from taking on any damage during intense or extended gaming sessions, providing a comprehensive battery capacity portfolio.
The UK’s Telegraph named the 10S Pro their choice of phone with the largest battery, giving it a 7 out of 10 ranking. The publication found that the device’s “huge battery leads to exemplary day-to-day stamina, which is required to keep it running through extended gaming sessions.” They also noted that the phone is technically the fastest one on their phone list, as well as being one of the cheapest.
REDMAGIC 11 Pro
Now, REDMAGIC is ready to kick things up a gear with power engineered for versatile and superior gaming. Our new REDMAGIC 11 Pro is fitted with an even larger 7,500mAh battery for extended endurance and fast charging that keeps you in the game for longer.
This flagship gaming smartphone, which sports our most powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and pioneering liquid cooling technology, also pushes the limits for sustained battery power.
Moreover, the 11 Pro is our first gaming smartphone to feature both wired and wireless charging. We’re confident that the 11 Pro will stand the test of time and prove to be a powerhouse device, just like its predecessors.
A Legacy of Power
At REDMAGIC, innovation is the key to maintaining your legacy. We have spent years of research, development, and planning to curate a collection of timeless, powerful, and versatile gaming devices that put the drive back into your gameplay. We are committed to ensuring that every REDMAGIC device upholds the legacy of premium battery design and powerhouse performance.
