RedMagic launches powerful gaming smartphone with new release
RedMagic has now released the RedMagic 11 Air in China. Positioned as a cheaper alternative to the existing RedMagic 11 Pro, the RedMagic 11 Air relies upon the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset that powers last-generation flagships like the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, OnePlus 13 and the Galaxy S25 Ultra (curr. $1,041 on Amazon).
However, the RedMagic 11 Air does without bulky camera housings and punch hole displays like those flagships. Instead, RedMagic has positioned the device's 50 MP primary (1/1.55-inch) and 8 MP ultra-wide-angle cameras within individual lenses that protrude only slightly from its back panel.
Meanwhile, the RedMagic 11 Air hides its 16 MP front-facing camera behind under-panel camera technology to create a distraction-free experience across its 6.85-inch display. For reference, this AMOLED panel outputs at 2,688 x 1,216 pixels with a 144 Hz refresh rate and 1.25 mm thick bezels. Moreover, RedMagic installs a 24000 RPM turbo fan that works with a vapour chamber cooling system to limit thermal throttling under load.
The RedMagic 11 Air should deliver decent battery life too, thanks its 7,000 mAh combined capacity, which it can top up at 120 W. RedMagic's latest gaming smartphone starts at CNY 3,499 (~$503) with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage and rises to CNY 4,199 (~$603) with 16 GB of RAM but the same storage. RedMagic has not commented on international availability yet.
