RedMagic 11 Air Launched with Snapdragon 8 Elite and 7,000mAh Battery

RedMagic has officially introduced the RedMagic 11 Air in China. It looks slightly different than its predecessor, but not drastically so. It still keeps the brand's signature gamer look, but in a noticeably thinner profile than their usual flagship models. Let's get into this article, where I will discuss everything about the latest RedMagic 11 Air, including its rumors, specifications, and availability.

RedMagic 11 Air Overview

Display and Design

The new Redmagic 11 Air retains the design materials but has slightly changed its design. What used to be a simpler back design in the 10 Air is no longer the case. The 11 Air instead has a more stylistic design and changed camera modules. 

On the front side, the phone features a 6.85-inch AMOLED display that is completely unobstructed, thanks to an under-display 16MP selfie camera. It has a resolution of 1216 x 2688 pixels and a 144Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals. At 7.85mm thick and 207 grams, we have to say its quite lean for a gaming phone, yet it still manages to fit an active cooling fan with RGB lighting that spins up to 24,000 RPM.

Performance

Even though it's an "Air" model, Redmagic 11 Air still doesn't cut on powers. It uses last year's flagship chip: the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It comes with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage. Moreover, it also includes capacitive shoulder triggers and a dedicated RedCore R4 gaming chip that handle specialized tasks like haptics and lighting.

Camera and Battery

Since it's a gaming phone, a relatively simpler rear camera setup was expected, to be honest. But its 50MP main sensor still includes optical image stabilization, and there's also an 8MP ultrawide lens. And as i already mentioned above it also has an under-display 16MP front camera. What’s more impressive is the 7,000mAh battery that is tucked into that slim frame. It supports 120W wired fast charging, and since it's a gaming phone, it supports bypass charging as well.
