Gaming smartphone buyers waiting for a completely unobstructed display have a new contender on the horizon. The RedMagic 12 will feature ninth-generation under-display camera technology, aiming to eliminate the pixelated notch or punch-hole that currently mars the viewing experience. This advancement matters because it allows for a truly seamless screen, which is critical for immersive gaming and uninterrupted video playback.
Gaming phone aims for seamless screen with ninth-gen tech
The device represents the latest iteration in RedMagic's long-term push to perfect under-display camera tech. Jiang Chao claims the RedMagic 12 will be the world’s first smartphone to feature this specific ninth-generation under-display camera tech. The company has spent years refining the technology, moving through eight previous generations over roughly five years to reach this milestone.
- Under-display camera generation: Ninth-generation
- Under-display camera generation lineage: First smartphone with ninth-gen UDC; previous eight generations over five years
- Previous model specs (RedMagic 11 Pro series): 6.85-inch 1.5K 144Hz BOE X10 AMOLED panel, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, up to 24GB RAM, 1TB storage, Wi-Fi 7, 3.5mm headphone jack
While official specifications remain undisclosed, the new model is expected to build upon the foundation of the RedMagic 11 Pro series. That previous lineup utilized a 6.85-inch 1.5K 144Hz BOE X10 AMOLED panel and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. The RedMagic 11 Pro+ version also offered up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, alongside Wi-Fi 7 and a 3.5mm headphone jack, setting a high bar for performance.
RedMagic has yet to detail the exact display resolution, refresh rate, chipset, camera hardware, or battery configuration for the upcoming device. The company has also not announced an official release date for the RedMagic 12 series. Potential buyers should monitor official channels for these concrete details as the launch approaches.
We touched on RedMagic 11S Pro with fan and in our earlier Redmagic coverage, noting how the brand continues to innovate in the gaming space. The RedMagic 12 aims to push that innovation further by prioritizing screen real estate over traditional camera placement, a trade-off that appeals to hardcore mobile gamers.
