With Chisa coming back in Wuthering Waves, I feel like the REDMAGIC 11 Pro+ Chisa Edition makes more sense now than it did at launch.

Not because everyone suddenly needs a gaming phone.

More because character collab tech is weirdly timing-based.

When the character is active in-game again, the phone stops feeling like “old limited merch” and starts feeling like part of the current hype cycle again.

The Chisa Edition is still not the most normal phone purchase. It is a China-market limited edition, so people should still think about carrier compatibility, ROM differences, Google/app behavior, shipping, and import costs.

But as a Chisa item, I think it is one of the stronger collab products because it is not just a tiny logo on the back. The red design, Wuthering Waves theme, packaging, and gaming-phone hardware all feel connected.

For me, this is the kind of item that makes the most sense if you are:

• pulling for Chisa
• already using REDMAGIC / gaming phones
• looking for a second gaming device
• collecting Wuthering Waves merch
• the kind of person who wants tech to feel like character merch, not just hardware

I would not call it the safest phone.

But if you like Chisa, I get why this specific version is tempting.

Question for WuWa players:

Would you rather spend on pulls, merch, or a limited collab device like this?

⚠️ As always, the game runs a bit smoother when you're not recording video at the same time 😅
⚠️ For the purposes of this video, I recorded the game at 1280x720 and capped it at 30fps (which becomes 60fps with the framegen). Otherwise, the video quality is significantly degraded. The video was recorded after more than 20 minutes of gameplay! (The entire intro in the desert).
⚠️ But if you want smoother gameplay and higher FPS, you can set the game to 960x540, which still looks great on the phone screen (but of course, not as a video on a computer screen). And of course if you have a cooler, set the Phone in "Rise Mode" to gain more FPS! That way, you can get a solid, nearly constant 60 fps, even in the city!
⚠️ The game is set to “low” mode, with a few minor adjustments based on personal preference (no “motion blur,” “chromatic aberration,” or “film grain,” for example)

📱 RedMagic 11 Pro in Balanced Mode and without cooler, only the integrated fan.

Based on the Steam version of the game.

⚠️ GameHub 6.0.4 used! + Preset: Extreme+TSO , + Frame Generation (Balanced) + Super Resolution (100%).
🖥️ GameHub 6.0.4 Configuration available on EmuReady.
📺 Full YouTube Video available.
🖼️ Screenshots available.

🎮 Played with joypad Xbox360 controller with USBc adapter. (And that's why you don't see any "Virtual Controller" on video. And man, I'm so bad at FPS games with a controller 😅)

Idk why do people hate on red magic phones and saying it has bad os and camera, like bro it's a gaming phone the os and camera doesn't matter 🫩

This happened in South Korea on May 11, 2026.

My Galaxy S24 suddenly emitted smoke, extreme heat, and exploded in my hand while I was using it normally to search the internet.

Important details:

The phone was NOT charging

No drop damage

Never repaired or opened

Fire department responded

Signs consistent with lithium battery ignition were identified on site

I am currently receiving medical treatment for smoke inhalation symptoms and anxiety/insomnia after the incident

Samsung told me they would collect the device for internal investigation, but I have not received further explanation yet.

Photos, medical records, and incident evidence have been preserved.

For privacy and safety reasons, I would prefer to remain anonymous publicly.

If media outlets are interested, I am willing to provide additional photos and videos.

UPDATE1: 26.5.13

Thank you for all the concern, advice, and support.

This incident did actually happen, and many of my coworkers witnessed it as well. I also have video footage related to the incident, and I have already informed outlets such as BBC and CNN that I am willing to provide additional evidence if requested.

At the moment, I have not been contacted by any Korean media outlets.

I was actively using the phone in my hand for normal web searching when it suddenly began swelling very rapidly before exploding. Thankfully, the lower part of the phone split open during the incident, which likely reduced the severity of the injuries. I only suffered minor burn blisters instead of more serious physical harm.

(Additional Information) The device was purchased as an official unlocked Galaxy S24 through Samsung Partners in South Korea on June 11, 2024, and was received and activated on June 12, 2024. Since then, it had been used normally without any repairs, modifications, or internal opening.

I originally switched from Apple iPhones to Samsung years ago, and honestly, this experience — along with the response afterward — has changed the way I feel.

Please stay careful and safe with your devices as well.

I will continue updating this post if there are any major developments or investigation results.

UPDATE2: 26.05.13

I was just contacted by the director of a local Samsung service center. According to what I was told, employees from Samsung headquarters became aware of this Reddit post and instructed the local service center to respond. I am still recording and preserving all communication related to this incident, and if major media outlets request it, I am prepared to provide those records as well. I once again requested direct communication from the appropriate department at Samsung headquarters. To be clear, I have never demanded financial compensation during this process. What I truly want is for Samsung to recognize the seriousness of this incident and respond with transparency and sincerity. Experiencing something like this has honestly changed the way I think about battery fire situations and consumer safety. I hope companies learn to take these incidents seriously before they become larger public safety issues.

I’ve honestly realized how powerful Reddit can be.

Thank you everyone. The support and attention from people here have genuinely helped someone like me feel less alone while dealing with this situation.

If more people become aware of battery safety risks through this post, I think that alone would already mean a lot to me.

And seriously, for everyone reading this on their phones right now — please stay safe and pay attention to unusual heat or warning signs 😅

After emailing back and forth with Redmagic Support for 2 weeks, I can finally rollback to Android 15 on my Redmagic 9 Pro.

Issues I had with Android 16 update:

- [bug] battery only charges 10% to 20% in 5-6 hours in Neocharge mode (20W). Charges normally in MaxCharge (45W) and MaxCharge Turbo (80W)

- [bug] in Nubia Launcher (System Launcher) swiping pages doesn't work or swipes 2 or 3 pages at once

- [bug] microphone not working anymore on any app during a call (phone app, whatsapp, discord, 3CX) until app reinstall, maybe a permission issue

- [bug] mobile data would randomly stop working during the day (no service) for 1 or 2 hours at times

- [bug] battery charge drops significantly faster during the day (only 30% left at the end of the day instead of the usual 60~70%)

- [unwanted feature] double pressing the lock button opens the camera and there's no way to change it or turn it off

- [unwanted feature] AI everywhere: call assistant, game assist, writing, translate

I had to provide screenshots and video proof for most of these issues as they need to forward as much info as possible to the developers to fix them.

This downgrade is a complete OS reinstall and will WIPE ALL DATA. It's not possible to recover locally stored app data without root access, and getting root access wipes data as well. I only backed up my apks, photos, videos, music, passwords, whatsapp chats and anything that I can export normally.

Happy to go back
