The upcoming gaming smartphone will feature three transparent-inspired finishes, a flush rear camera design and ninth-generation under-display camera technology.
Red Magic has revealed the full design of its upcoming Red Magic 12 Pro+ ahead of its official launch in China on October 15, 2026. The gaming smartphone will arrive in three colour options and feature a flat rear panel, an uninterrupted display and an advanced cooling system.
The company is also highlighting changes to the phone’s screen design and camera placement. These updates aim to deliver a cleaner appearance while maintaining the gaming-focused features associated with the Red Magic series.
Red Magic 12 Pro+ Colour Options Revealed
The Red Magic 12 Pro+ will be available in three finishes: Transparent Dark Night, Transparent Silver Wing and Transparent Ice Blue. The phone retains the brand’s signature flat rear design but introduces a completely flush camera module.
Unlike many smartphones, its rear cameras do not protrude from the body. This gives the device a more uniform profile and a cleaner overall appearance.
Under-Display Camera and Thinner Screen Borders
Red Magic will continue using its full-screen design, placing the front camera beneath the display. This removes the need for a punch-hole or notch on the screen.
The company has introduced its ninth-generation under-display camera technology. It has also reduced the black border around the display from 1.25mm on the previous generation to 0.96mm on the new model.
The smaller border is designed to provide more visible screen space. This could benefit users who play games or watch videos on their smartphones.
RGB Liquid Cooling System Focuses on Gaming
The Red Magic 12 Pro+ will feature an RGB liquid cooling system, with parts of its internal cooling structure visible through the transparent rear design. The phone will also include an air-cooling system to help control heat during demanding tasks.
Effective heat management is important for gaming smartphones because long gaming sessions can increase temperatures and affect performance. Red Magic is combining these cooling systems with powerful hardware to support sustained workloads.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 Processor
The upcoming smartphone will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 mobile platform, according to the supplied specifications. The device has also appeared on Geekbench 7 under the model number Nubia NX819J.
The reported benchmark results include 3,677 points in the single-core test and 12,679 points in the multi-core test. These figures indicate strong performance in the reported tests, although benchmark scores alone do not establish how the phone will perform in everyday use. Red Magic has also indicated that the new model will be lighter, thinner, narrower and more rounded than its predecessor.
Battery and Charging Details Remain Unconfirmed
Leaks have suggested that the Red Magic 12 Pro+ could feature an 8,400mAh battery, 120W wired charging and 80W wireless charging. However, the company has not officially confirmed these specifications.

The battery and charging details should therefore be treated as unconfirmed until Red Magic releases its official specifications.
Launch Date, Reservations and Expected Pricing
Red Magic will launch the 12 Pro+ in China on October 15 at 2:30 PM local time. Reservations are already open through the company’s official website and JD.com, but the retail price has not been announced.
Chinese buyers can pay a 100-yuan reservation deposit to access promotional benefits valued at up to 4,300 yuan. The listed benefits include a Red Magic Cooler 8 Pro, gaming benefits, cashback and trade-in incentives. The promotional value does not represent a confirmed cash discount, and the exact benefits may depend on the applicable reservation terms.
Red Magic 12 Pro+ India Launch Details
Red Magic has not announced global availability details for the 12 Pro+. This means an India launch date, Indian pricing and local availability remain unconfirmed.
For Indian buyers interested in the new gaming smartphone, the October 15 China launch should provide more information about its official specifications and pricing. Details about its arrival in India will depend on a further announcement from the company.
