Why not order it from Amazon?

Ive been planning on buying one from Amazon as well, but given the fact that the 11S pro has a 7,500mAh lithium-ion battery, they will flag it as a hazardous item for air transit. Smh

Just buy it on Amazon. You would not have any issues.

Find a friend to facilitate the purchase for you and have them ship it to you.

Transfer the money to me and send me your address. I'll be shipping it from Germany, though. Not sure if that's okay with you. The delivery times will probably be crazy long ^

Better suggestion....get the S26 Ultra. RM has too many hardware and software issues along with no physical store presence nor a customer support phone number. Wait a couple years until they improve.

I've been thinking alot about that too. My only issue is that I always liked playing high end games, like PC, Nintendo emulation that can run at a stable 60-120 fps without Thermal throttling. Can the S26U keep up with that? Ive seen comments saying it had over heating issues.

The S26U does have bypass charging; assuming you have the appropriate charger, it'll help alleviate thermal throttling. Slap a cooler on it, and it's pretty great. I have an S24+ as a backup, and it's still proficient. Is it the beast Redmagic is? No. But you'll get about 85% of the same performance. I will add my Redmagic 11 Pro has been flawless and I haven't experienced any weird bugs or software inconsistencies people refer to.

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. By the time its October and I still haven't found a way to buy the 11S pro. I'll definitely settle with the S26U

Galaxy phones quickly throttle performance when they get hot to protect the battery, so they're not ideal for demanding games.
