Reviews for the Nubia RedMagic 10 Air

50% The Redmagic 10 Air proves gaming phones can be smaller
Source: Android Police English
The Redmagic 10 Air is not meant for hardcore gamers. It’s not meant for professionals on the go or camera jocks. And because it costs more than the Redmagic 10 Pro, at least at launch, I don’t believe it’s meant for the budget-conscious market, either. Instead, I think I found the perfect customer for this device: older kids. Think about it. It comes with everything a teen or tween needs. Google’s software suite is built right in. It handles gaming wonderfully. The cameras are good enough for the crazy way kids take pictures, and the speakers are perfect for YouTube. Best of all, it fits in slightly smaller hands. Plus, it won’t break the bank for those working part-time (or their parents).

The Nubia Red Magic 10 Air is a smart repurposing job that takes last year's Pro gaming phone and repackages it into a leaner, more appealing, and more affordable body. The result is one of the most accessible and inviting gaming phones on the market in 2025.

80% RedMagic 10 Air Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
The RedMagic 10 Air doesn’t quite offer the same uncompromising gaming experience as its Pro sibling, however, it will likely be the more appealing choice for a lot of people. It’s significantly lighter, it has a proper IP rating, so taking it out in the rain is less risky, and it offers exceptional value for money. It still runs games at an extremely high level and offers a top-notch audio-visual experience to match. If you’re looking for top performance, and your budget can’t stretch beyond the £450/$550 mark, it’s hard to think of a more capable phone. The closest is likely the Poco F7 Pro, which also utilises the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, but that’ll set you back an additional £60. It has a higher IP rating (IP68) and slightly faster charging, but beyond that, the phones are quite comparable.

82% nubia RedMagic 10 Air review
Source: GSM Arena English
The RedMagic 10 Air delivers a premium build and looks, a nice display with an under-display selfie camera, ample performance, solid battery life and fast charging, a whole load of powerful custom gaming features, and even what we consider to be a decent camera experience for a gaming phone. All the while, the price has been slashed significantly, making for a pretty great value proposition. Sure, compared to the RedMagic 10 Pro, there are a few things missing, such as the internal fan, the 3.5mm audio jack, and the DisplayPort video output. The battery is also smaller, and the screen doesn't get as bright. And you only get last year's flagship silicon, and it only gets an IP54 ingress resistance rating. None of these is essential to the user experience, so we'd say RedMagic has done a great job of creating this slimmed-down entry in its portfolio of gaming phones.

RedMagic 10 AIR Review

The RedMagic 10 AIR strikes a balance between sleek design (7.85mm thickness, minimalist aesthetics) and uncompromised gaming performance. Its stealthy appearance belies robust internals, making it an appealing choice for style-conscious young gamers seeking both form and function.

Comment

Qualcomm Adreno 750: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 25% faster than the Adreno 7340 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and first benchmarks show that the GPU can beat the Apple A17 Pro iGPU. 

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


SD 8 Gen 3: High-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in late 2022 with a fast prime core based on a ARM Cortex-X3 architecture clocked at up to 3.2 GHz. Two more performance cores are based on the A715 and also support only 64 bit applications. The two additional A710 cores support also 32 bit applications as do the power saving Cortex-A510 cores. In addition to the processor cores, the SoC integrates a WiFi 7 modem, a Hexagon DSP (for AI acceleration) and a Spectra ISP. The integrated memory controller supports fast LPDDR5x memory with up to 4,200 MHz. 5G is included in the chip with the Snapdragon X70 modem.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


6.80":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


75.85%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
