UL Solutions Delists RedMagic 11 Pro Phones From 3DMark Over Rule Violations
The move challenges trust in benchmark scores that many buyers and brands use to compare phones.
Overview
- A YouTube investigation found large score gaps on RedMagic 11 Pro hardware between the standard 3DMark app and a disguised version.
- UL Solutions, which makes the 3DMark benchmark, removed the RedMagic 11 Pro and Pro Plus from official rankings for not complying with its rules.
- The delisting covers several tests in 3DMark, including Solar Bay, Solar Bay Extreme, Steel Nomad Light, and Slingshot Extreme.
- Nubia’s RedMagic unit said it views benchmarks as indicators of potential performance under controlled high‑load conditions.
- A video test reported device temperatures near 55°C under stress, a result that is fueling calls for more independent checks of gaming phones.
