RedMagic is preparing to release the RedMagic 12 Pro+ in China this October, targeting mobile gamers who prioritize comfort and sustained performance. The company has revealed design details that suggest a focus on reducing physical strain during long sessions. This update matters to buyers because the new device aims to address common complaints about weight and screen immersion in current gaming phones.
New gaming phone features 0.96mm bezels and weight reduction
The upcoming handset features rounded corners and significantly thinner screen bezels compared to its predecessor. Teaser images from the vendor highlight these aesthetic changes, which are designed to improve hand feel and visual immersion. The device is expected to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor, positioning it as a high-end option in the gaming smartphone market.
- Weight: Less than 230 grams (predecessor weight)
- Screen Bezel: 0.96mm
- Previous Bezel: 1.25mm (RedMagic 11 Pro+)
- Expected Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6
- Design Feature: Rounded corners
Technical specifications released so far indicate a weight of less than 230 grams, which is lighter than the previous generation flagship that weighed exactly 230 grams. The screen bezels measure 0.96mm, a reduction from the 1.25mm bezels found on the RedMagic 11 Pro+. RedMagic claims that this weight reduction will lead to better comfort during prolonged gaming sessions.
The vendor also states that an advanced cooling solution will provide an edge over competitors like the iQOO 16 and OnePlus 16 during heavy loads. Core specifications beyond the processor and cooling system remain unconfirmed, as the source material notes there is nothing available about other core specs. The exact weight of the new device is also not yet finalized, only that it will be lighter than the predecessor.
We looked at RedMagic Astra 2 Global Launch Confirmed in our earlier Redmagic coverage, which highlights the vendor's continued focus on the gaming hardware segment. The RedMagic 12 Pro+ is scheduled for release in China in October 2026, with no pricing information currently available. Buyers should expect the device to ship with the specified design improvements and processor once the release date arrives.
