Briefings
Redmagic's 12 Pro gaming phone now features integrated RGB lighting within its transparent liquid-cooling loop, allowing users to customize colors via apps or notifications. However, the system uses fluorescent blue coolant, which causes the lights to appear washed out or create colored bubbles when illuminated, limiting visual effectiveness despite functional operation.
Key points
- Redmagic's 12 Pro gaming phone includes integrated RGB lighting within its transparent liquid-cooling loop, enabling users to set patterns, activate for apps, or trigger notifications.
- The cooling system uses fluorescent blue coolant, which causes the RGB lights to appear washed out or create colored bubbles when illuminated, reducing visual clarity.
Context
Following the introduction of true liquid cooling to gaming phones last year, Redmagic is upgrading its 12 Pro model by adding RGB lighting to the cooling loop. This marks a significant enhancement over previous iterations, though the coolant chemistry presents a visual trade-off.
Limitations
Evidence is limited to a single photo and brief description; specific liquid temperature ranges, cooling efficiency metrics, or long-term durability data are not provided.
