The Thin REDMAGIC 11 Air Gaming Smartphone Equipped With Snapdragon 8 Elite has been Announced!
The REDMAGIC 11 Air is a gaming smartphone that packs Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite processor into a slim 7.85mm body.
With a high clock speed of up to 4.32GHz, it delivers top-tier processing performance across all gaming scenarios.
The combination of LPDDR5X Ultra memory and UFS 4.1 storage ensures smooth performance for everything from complex calculations to data processing.
Additionally, the device features the Red Core 4 dedicated gaming chip, which maintains fluid visuals and high frame rates while optimizing immersive elements like audio and haptic feedback.
With REDMAGIC's proprietary CUBE Game Engine, the system can manage hardware loads with millisecond precision.
Equipped With the Air Series' First Cooling Fan! Incredible Thermal Performance
This model is the first in the Air series to be equipped with an internal cooling fan.
Featuring high-speed rotation of up to 24,000 RPM and newly designed fan blades with varying heights, the air volume and pressure have increased by 21%, while the airflow range has expanded by 40% compared to the REDMAGIC 10S Pro.
Furthermore, dust resistance has improved by 30%, and noise reduction has been enhanced by 50%.
In addition to an aircraft-grade aluminum frame, the phone features a large VC (vapor chamber) independently developed by REDMAGIC.
With a convex design that allows for increased thickness, the VC capacity has expanded by 40%, leading to a 45% improvement in heat dissipation performance.
Nearly Bezel-Less! 6.8-Inch Display
The 6.8-inch display utilizes a 16-megapixel under-display camera embedded beneath the screen to achieve a true full-screen display.
It supports a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz and a peak instantaneous touch sampling rate of 2,500Hz, ensuring that every touch is registered with millisecond accuracy.
The rear camera setup includes a 50-megapixel wide-angle main lens and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens.
Unique AI Models and Side Buttons! Advanced Gaming Features
The REDMAGIC Game Space offers various gaming tools, including performance tuning, plugins, macros, and notification blocking.
Equipped with AI capabilities, an assistant based on a proprietary large language model provides real-time answers for game strategies and character information.
Dual shoulder triggers with a response rate of 520Hz are located on the side of the unit, providing an intuitive, controller-like experience.
By using the SmartCast (formerly REDMAGIC Studio) PC software, users can enjoy low-latency, high-quality wireless mirroring and control without any complicated setup.
Perfect for Daily Use! Large Capacity Battery
The device is powered by a 7,000mAh high-capacity battery, the largest ever in the Air series.
It supports up to 80W wired fast charging and features a bypass charging function that powers the device directly, reducing battery wear.
