The tradition of the Chinese brand continues, and thankfully also regarding the Global debut: REDMAGIC 11 Air is the “economy” version of the company’s latest Gaming Phone. The price goes down but the features are top-class, with an aggressive and futuristic design and the addition of a physical fan — previously exclusive to the Pro version. Here are all the details of the new arrival, including features, price, and availability for Italy.
REDMAGIC 11 Air: the affordable and slim Gaming Phone arrives in Italy, price and updates
The new REDMAGIC 11 Air arrives a few days after its debut in China: a clear sign of the Gaming Phone series’ success both at home and here on our shores. The previous model REDMAGIC 10 Air opted for a more cautious approach, but with the new version we get a design that looks up to its bigger brother — with a futuristic style that oozes gaming from every pore.
The back is characterized by a semi-transparent chassis with RGB lighting and a slim profile: we’re talking about 7.85 mm thickness versus the REDMAGIC 11 Pro’s 8.9 mm, without practically giving up anything.
Just like the bigger brother, the Air model also adopts a cooling fan of cooling (absent on the 10 Air) spinning at 24,000 RPM. The system also includes a large vapor chamber, together with a graphene composite material layer.
The heart of the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite, Qualcomm’s former flagship chipset, paired with the proprietary RedCore R4 chip — dedicated to gaming-related features. The 7,000 mAh battery is ideal for long-lasting autonomy, while the 80W fast charging lets you have the phone charged in a flash.
The front section hosts a 6.85″ OLED display with an under-display camera, a 144 Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 1,800 nits. The final result is a multimedia experience free from notch or punch-hole, with top-tier fluidity and maximum visibility.
On the right side of the chassis there are two 520 Hz Dual Touch back buttons with ultra-low latency and precise feedback. REDMAGIC 11 Air lands in Italy at a price of €499 and €599, respectively for the 12/256 GB and 16/512 GB versions. From February 5 to 10 you can take advantage of the launch promo that grants a €30 discount voucher. The actual sales will begin on February 11.
