The REDMAGIC 12 Pro is the newest gaming flagship from ZTE’s nubia brand. It launched in China on 15 October 2026 as the REDMAGIC 12 Pro+, and went global on 3 November 2026 as the REDMAGIC 12 Pro, with open sales starting 18 November 2026. It brings the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, a 185Hz display, an 8,400mAh battery and a new RGB liquid cooling system with a built-in fan.
Its expected price in Pakistan is Rs. 279,999. There is no official Pakistan launch or price yet, and the phone has not been listed by PTA. Everything in this article about the Pakistan price is an estimate from Pakistani trackers, not an official figure.
RedMagic 12 Pro Price in Pakistan
The expected price of the RedMagic 12 Pro in Pakistan is Rs. 279,999. This is the expected price for the base 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant, according to WhatMobile and UrduPoint, which agree on the figure. Another tracker, mobile-phone.pk, lists a close figure of Rs. 270,000.
No official price has been announced for Pakistan, and the phone has not officially launched here. The expected price can change when the phone arrives. Grey-market import units of the China version (the 12 Pro+) have already appeared in Lahore shops, with one unboxing posted on 6 November 2026. Buyers should confirm the final price and PTA status with the seller before buying an imported unit.
The China version, the REDMAGIC 12 Pro+, is expected at Rs. 324,999 in Pakistan according to WhatMobile (mobile-phone.pk lists Rs. 321,700). One tracker lists a much lower figure of Rs. 198,999, but that figure is far below the phone’s global price converted to rupees and its page also wrongly claims a Pakistan launch that never happened, so it should be ignored.
RedMagic 12 Pro Price in Other Countries
The RedMagic 12 Pro has not launched in Pakistan, so there is no official Pakistan price. It is officially sold in China and in global markets, and the official prices there are:
The China version (REDMAGIC 12 Pro+) costs CNY 6,999 for 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, CNY 7,999 for 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, and CNY 8,999 for 16GB RAM and 1TB storage.

Detailed Specifications
Display
The RedMagic 12 Pro has a 6.85-inch BOE X11 AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution (1216 x 2688 pixels) and a 185Hz refresh rate — the highest refresh rate on a mainstream phone. The display reaches 5,000 nits peak brightness and 1,900 nits in high-brightness mode, supports 10-bit colour and 100% DCI-P3, and is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i. The bezels are only 0.96mm, giving a 96.3% screen-to-body ratio. The 16MP front camera sits under the display, so there is no punch hole or notch in the screen.
Performance
The phone runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, built on a 2 nm process, with prime cores running up to 5.01GHz and the Adreno 850 GPU. It is joined by the RedCore R5 gaming chip and the G1 display chip, which handle ray tracing, 2K upscaling and frame interpolation up to 185Hz. Memory options are 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5T RAM with 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of UFS 4.1 Pro storage. A reported AnTuTu score of 4,532,084 puts it among the fastest Android phones ever tested.
Cooling is the phone’s signature feature. The AquaCore Cooling System 3.0 uses RGB dual-loop liquid cooling with a micro-pump, a fan spinning at up to 25,500 RPM, graphene, a vapor chamber and liquid metal. The fan and the liquid cooling loop light up with RGB lighting, along with the shoulder triggers.
Cameras
The RedMagic 12 Pro has a dual rear camera system. The main camera is a 50MP sensor (OV50J, f/1.89) with optical image stabilisation, and the ultrawide camera is a 50MP sensor (f/2.2) with a 120-degree field of view. The rear camera records 8K video. The front camera is a 16MP under-display sensor. The 2MP macro camera from the RedMagic 11 Pro has been dropped — there are only two rear cameras now.
Battery and Charging
The battery is an 8,400mAh single-cell silicon-carbon battery, up from 7,500mAh in the RedMagic 11 Pro. The global version supports 80W wired fast charging and 80W wireless charging, with bypass charging that powers the phone directly from the charger during gaming so the battery stays cool. The China version (12 Pro+) supports faster 120W wired charging.
Design and Colours
The phone is 8.55mm thick and weighs 223g, with Gorilla Glass 7i on the front and back and an aviation-grade aluminum frame. It is rated IP68/IP69 for dust and water resistance — a big step up from the 11 Pro’s IPX8 rating. The back has a transparent design with visible RGB lighting around the fan and the liquid cooling loop. The global colours are Nightfreeze (transparent black) and Subzero (transparent silver). The China version also comes in Skyfrost, and a forged-carbon Golden Saga edition with 24GB RAM and 1TB storage was announced for China only.
Software and Features
The phone runs Android 17 with REDMAGIC OS 12. It has 520Hz capacitive shoulder triggers for gaming (the China Pro+ has faster 700Hz triggers), a 3.5mm headphone jack, dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, NFC, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, an infrared blaster, and a USB Type-C port with DisplayPort output. A PC Emulator lets users sign in to Steam and play PC games, though compatibility varies by game. REDMAGIC promises two major Android generations and three years of security updates.
RedMagic 12 Pro vs RedMagic 12 Pro+ (China)
| Feature | RedMagic 12 Pro (global) | RedMagic 12 Pro+ (China) |
|---|---|---|
| Display | 6.85-inch, 1.5K AMOLED, 185Hz | Same |
| Processor | Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 | Same |
| Battery | 8,400mAh | Same |
| Wired charging | 80W | 120W |

| Colours | Nightfreeze, Subzero | Nightfreeze, Subzero, Skyfrost |
| Expected PK price | Rs. 279,999 | Rs. 324,999 |
The two phones are the same device with two small differences: faster wired charging and faster shoulder triggers on the China Pro+. Pakistan buyers will most likely get the global 12 Pro, either officially or through grey-market imports from the UAE.

|---|---|---|
| Processor | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 | Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 |

| Launch price | $699 | $949 |
| Pakistan price | Rs. 309,999 (current) | Rs. 279,999 (expected) |
The 12 Pro is a big upgrade in chip, screen, battery, cooling and water resistance, but it also launched $250 more expensive than the 11 Pro. At an expected Rs. 279,999, the 12 Pro would undercut the 11 Pro’s current Pakistan price of Rs. 309,999 — the 11 Pro’s price rose by Rs. 100,000 on 9 November 2026.
