## Key points

- RGB lighting struggles to overcome the blue cooling liquid.
- Cooling pressure is up 85 per cent to 130kPa.
- The 185Hz screen reaches its maximum in compatible games.

## Summary

Redmagic’s 12 Pro gaming phone adds RGB lighting to the transparent liquid-cooling loop, alongside other lights on the chassis. The coloured liquid remains fluorescent blue, however, so the loop’s lighting often appears in different shades from the phone’s other RGBs, making coordinated effects difficult.

The cooling system’s pressure rises to 130kPa, 85 per cent above the previous model, and is paired with a fan and vapor chamber. The phone has an 8,400mAh battery, 80W charging and a 185Hz display that reaches its top rate only in compatible games. Other details include up to 16GB of RAM, two 50-megapixel rear cameras, an under-display 16-megapixel selfie camera, no headphone jack and a fan area without rated dust protection.
