The RedMagic 11 Air may have figured out how to fit one of the largest phone batteries available into a slimmer design. Unveiled Thursday, the new gaming phone has a 7,000-mAh silicon carbon battery and a cooling fan, with many of the same features as last year. RedMagic 10S Pro.

the new phone has the same depth as the previous one RedMagic 10 Air at 7.85mm (0.3 inches), and heavier at 207 grams (7.3 ounces) compared to the 205 grams of the previous phone. It is a comparable weight and depth to phones like Apple’s iPhone 16 Probut the 11 Air’s spec list largely mirrors the heavier RedMagic 10S Pro which I tried last year. The phone weighs 229 grams, and includes a slightly larger 7,050-mAh battery.

Like the 10S Pro, the 11 Air includes Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and starts at $529 for a model that includes 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Upgrading to 16GB and 512GB of storage brings the cost to $629.

The phone’s large battery can be recharged at 80-watt speed — which is incredibly fast for this price range — and the camera system includes a 50-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 16-megapixel front-facing camera.

RedMagic phones prioritize gaming above all else, and include a larger 6.85-inch OLED display that runs at a 144Hz refresh rate. It will also include the RedMagic 11 software system, which I wasn’t a fan of when I tried it RedMagic 11 Pro. This software overlay includes special console-style menus for gaming — which I like — but it also makes questionable choices like the default web browser that includes advertising.

The RedMagic 11 Air comes in Phantom black and Prism white colors, and early bird vouchers for the phone will be available on February 5 ahead of the February 11 open sale date.
