Nubia’s gaming-focused RedMagic brand has officially unveiled its latest smartphone, the RedMagic 11 Air. As expected, the new device doubles down on everything the company believes gamers want, but in a relatively slim form factor for a RedMagic standard.
The RedMagic 11 Air retains the company’s signature transparent design. On the back, RedMagic says the design is inspired by vinyl records, racing tracks, and geometric art. There’s also an RGB-lit active cooling fan, because of course there is.
RedMagic 11 Air Specifications
The front is made up of a large 6.85-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. RedMagic calls it a “true full screen” because it uses an under-display 16MP camera. The screen also supports high-frequency 2592Hz PWM dimming and DC dimming, with ultra-thin 1.25mm bezels and a 95.1 percent screen-to-body ratio.
Powering the phone is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor paired with RedMagic’s own Redcore R4 gaming chip. It also includes LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.1 storage, and a self-developed CUBE Sky Engine for performance optimization.
The company claims the phone delivers more stable frame rates than rival devices using MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chip, and supports 144Hz modes in many titles.
Being a RedMagic phone, you also get professional shoulder trigger buttons with a 520Hz touch sampling rate, as well as a complex cooling system featuring an aerospace-grade aluminum bracket, graphene copper foil, and a 4D vapor chamber. The built-in fan and dual-track cooling system are designed to keep temperatures under control during long play sessions.
As for the battery, the phone packs a massive 7000mAh battery with support for 120W wired fast charging and bypass charging for gaming. It runs REDMAGIC OS 11.0 and includes AI-powered features like image search, real-time translation, object recognition, and even an AI tactical coach that can offer tips while you play.
With all of this, the device measures 7.85mm. Not particularly slim for a phone with Air branding, but it is the industry’s thinnest phone with a built-in fan.
