Hardware Ready Ready to Bench?
Redmagic, Nubia’s gaming smartphone brand, has announced the release schedule for Redmagic OS 12, its custom interface based on Android 17. The rollout has already begun in China with the launch of the Redmagic 12 Pro+, and the devices that will receive the update along with their respective timelines are now known.
For users of Redmagic devices, the global version of Redmagic OS 12 is already available: the Redmagic 12 Pro will be updated internationally on November 3, 2026, indicating that the software is ready and awaiting adaptation to other models.
Redmagic OS 12: why it matters
In terms of interface innovations, Redmagic OS 12 follows the trends of Android 17 updates: it features a visual refresh inspired by Apple’s Liquid Glass, with an extended clock on the lock screen and new customization options. A feature similar to the iPhone’s Dynamic Island, named AI Magic Island, has also been introduced, which expands in the status bar to display interactive notifications such as music playback or taxi bookings.
In the field of artificial intelligence, Redmagic introduces MORA, a VTuber-style AI assistant integrated directly into the operating system, accompanied by an automation system called “AI Magic Assistant”. For gamers, the update includes a revamped Game Space app, an “Esports Training Arena” with mini-games to improve reflexes and precision, and the X-Gravity 3.0 platform with advanced live streaming features.
What changes and what are the effects
The described features concern specific innovations for the Chinese market. When the rollout expands to Western markets, including Europe, the list of changes may undergo variations.
