nubia has just announced the REDMAGIC 11 Air, the latest slim-design smartphone in China with a large battery.
REDMAGIC 11 Air
The REDMAGIC 11 Air is built around a 6.85-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel with up to 144Hz refresh rate and ultra-slim bezels at just 1.25mm on all sides. Moreover, it has a 3D curved glass design and an under-display 16MP camera.
Around the back, it has a 50MP main camera joined by an 8MP ultrawide lens. The back panel also features the active cooling fan, the first Air device from the company to feature one. Additionally, it has an aerospace-grade aluminum air-cooling bracket, a 4D ultra-thick ice-step VC, and under-screen graphene copper foil. The combination of these keeps the device cool even while gaming.
A Snapdragon 8 Elite powers the device with up to 16GB LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and up to 512GB UFS 4.1 storage. In addition to the chip from Qualcomm, the device has the company’s self-developed Redcore R4 gaming chip as well as features the CUBE Sky Engine.
The REDMAGIC 11 Air is equipped with a massive 7000mAh battery with support for 120W wired charging and bypass charging.
As it is a gaming phone, it features triggers along the side that boast the fastest 520Hz touch response rate.

Pricing and Availability
The REDMAGIC 11 Air is available in three colors – Quantum Black, Stardust White, and Aurora Silver. However, the last color option will be offered in March.
It is officially available now in China, in two memory configurations, priced at:
- 12GB+256GB – CNY 3,699 (around PHP 31,500)
- 16GB+512GB – CNY 4,399 (around PHP 37,500)
As of writing this, it is uncertain if REDMAGIC will offer the device outside of China or if it will remain exclusive to the local market. Its predecessor, the REDMAGIC 10 Air, was introduced in the international market, though, so we assume that the company will do the same for the 11 Air.
