RedMagic 11 Air Launched: Powerful Gaming Phone with 16GB RAM, Snapdragon 8 Elite and 7,000mAh Battery
The RedMagic 11 Air has officially launched in China, bringing a fresh option for users who want strong gaming performance without the bulky design of traditional gaming phones. This new model blends a slim body with powerful hardware, making it appealing to both gamers and regular users.
With a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, active cooling fan, and a massive battery, the phone aims to deliver long gaming sessions while staying relatively light and thin.
Slim Design with Signature Gaming Look
The RedMagic 11 Air keeps the brand’s popular transparent design, which shows off its gaming identity. Despite being a gaming-focused device, it measures just 7.85mm in thickness and weighs 207 grams.
An active cooling fan with RGB lighting sits inside the phone and can spin up to 24,000 RPM. This helps keep temperatures under control during long gaming sessions. The phone also comes with an IP54 rating, offering basic protection from dust and water splashes.
Large AMOLED Display with 144Hz Refresh Rate
On the front, the phone features a 6.85-inch AMOLED display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. The resolution stands at 1,216 x 2,688 pixels, delivering sharp visuals for games and videos.
The under-display 16MP selfie camera keeps the screen completely unobstructed. An optical fingerprint scanner is also placed under the display. Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protects the panel from everyday scratches.
Flagship Performance for Serious Gaming
Powering the device is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, which is still a strong performer for gaming and multitasking. The phone comes in two memory options:
- 12GB RAM with 256GB storage
- 16GB RAM with 512GB storage
It uses LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, ensuring fast app loading and smooth gameplay. Capacitive shoulder triggers add extra control for shooting and action games.
Reliable Cameras with 8K Video Support
The rear camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization, paired with an 8MP ultra-wide camera. This setup handles everyday photography well and supports advanced video recording.
You can record videos up to 8K at 30fps, along with multiple 4K and slow-motion options. The under-display selfie camera supports Full HD video recording and HDR.
Massive Battery with Ultra-Fast Charging
One of the biggest highlights is the 7,000mAh battery, which is more than enough for all-day gaming and media use. The phone supports 120W wired fast charging in China, while global versions may offer slightly lower speeds.
