The unveiling of REDMAGIC 11 Air is drawing near, and after its launch in China it could reach us as well. While awaiting official confirmation from the Global division, here are the first images of the budget Gaming Phone.
Compared to the previous generation, the device does not abandon its DNA; on the contrary, it seems to draw heavily from its bigger brother – also thanks to the introduction of the cooling fan.
REDMAGIC 11 Air changes styling from its predecessor: less sobriety and more Gaming Phone
With the previous REDMAGIC 10 Air the motto was “sobriety”: a clean and restrained design, except for the flamboyant orange version (Flare). With the new budget flagship we are seeing a shift in the brand’s strategy.
The budget model does not give up its Gaming Phone nature; on the contrary, it showcases it with three color options that look toward REDMAGIC 11 Pro and reveal nothing.

In addition to the inclusion of a cooling fan (absent on the previous 10 Air), REDMAGIC 11 Air introduces an RGB lighting system – both around the fan itself and under the brand logo.
The front is taken up by a large 6.85″ display, with a selfie camera integrated beneath it. Below you will find the full technical sheet, the result of leaks and TENAA certification details.
