Red Magic has recently launched the Red Magic 11 Air in China, expanding its gaming smartphone lineup with a slimmer and more affordable model. The company has now confirmed early details about the global release of the Red Magic 11 Air.
Red Magic says the international version will use the same hardware as the Chinese variant. This includes Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and a large 7,000 mAh battery. The phone also retains an active cooling system, which is important for gaming performance and helps prevent thermal throttling during long or demanding sessions.
Red Magic lists January 29 at 12:00 UTC as the global launch time. Based on the company’s usual release pattern, this date is unlikely to be the start of direct sales. Instead, it is expected to mark the opening of pre-orders and the announcement of global pricing. Full retail availability typically follows later.
In terms of specifications, the Red Magic 11 Air (Chinese model) features a 6.85-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution of 2688 × 1216 pixels. The panel supports a 144 Hz refresh rate and up to a 960 Hz touch sampling rate. It offers 10-bit color depth, 100 percent DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, 2592 Hz PWM dimming, and DC dimming.
The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 3 nm mobile platform with an Adreno 830 GPU. It is available with 12 GB or 16 GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and 256 GB or 512 GB of UFS 4.1 storage. Software is based on Android 16 with RedMagic OS 11, and the device supports dual SIM functionality.
Camera hardware includes a 50 MP main rear camera, an 8 MP ultra-wide camera, and a 16 MP under-display front camera. Other features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers with dual smart power amplifiers, 5G NSA and SA support, dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS with L1 and L5 support plus GLONASS, NFC, and a USB Type-C port. The phone measures 163.82 × 76.54 × 7.85 mm, weighs 207 grams, and supports 120 W fast charging for its 7,000 mAh battery.
