The RedMagic 11 Air blends slim design with gaming features like a 144Hz AMOLED screen, Snapdragon 8 chip, and 120W charging. Available in China from 3,499 yuan.
The RedMagic 11 Air has officially launched in China, aiming to blend the trend for slim, lightweight smartphones with gaming capabilities. It retains the brand's signature transparent design, features active cooling with RGB lighting, and is powered by last year's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
The device sports a 6.85-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1216 × 2688 pixels and a 144Hz refresh rate. A 16MP front-facing camera is hidden under the screen, and unlocking is handled by an optical fingerprint scanner.
Gaming credentials are evident in the capacitive triggers and generous memory options: up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage. For a gaming phone, it's relatively compact at 7.85mm thick and 207g in weight. Inside, an active cooling system can spin up to 24,000 RPM, while the body is rated IP54 for dust and water resistance.
The main camera setup is dual: a 50MP primary sensor with optical image stabilization and an 8MP ultra-wide. A 7000mAh battery supports 120W wired charging. The phone runs on RedMagic OS 11.0, based on Android 16.
The RedMagic 11 Air is already available on the nubia website in Quantum Black and Stardust White. The base 12/256GB model is priced at 3,499 yuan, while the top-tier 16/512GB version costs 4,199 yuan. An international release date has not been announced.
