The RedMagic 11 Air has launched, offering significant gaming capabilities for under $500. This device utilizes a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and features a large 7,000mAh battery, promising extended usage.
Key improvements over its predecessor include the reinstatement of a physical cooling fan, ensuring superior sustained performance during demanding gaming sessions. The display has also been upgraded to a 144Hz refresh rate for smoother visuals.
However, the RedMagic 11 Air retains some drawbacks from previous models. Its RedMagic OS remains a clunky Android UI, and the camera system, particularly selfies, is underwhelming. The design has also regressed in aesthetics compared to the 10 Air.
Despite these compromises, the phone's value proposition for gamers is strong. It offers remappable trigger buttons and an optimized Game Space UI for competitive online gaming. Priced from $499 / £439 / €499, it aims to provide the best value gaming phones on the market.
