Key Highlights
- It packs a Snapdragon 8 Elite, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
- Global sales start on February 12 at $499 for the 12+256 version, or $599 for the 16+512GB version.
- The gaming phone landscape is looking pretty grim in 2026, with ASUS stepping back from the smartphone market and newer flagship chips suffering from poor thermal performance.
- The REDMAGIC 11 Pro is one of the last gaming phones on the market (and our top pick for the best gaming phone), but now it’s set to get a cheaper, more pocketable sibling. The REDMAGIC 11 Air is a slightly slimmed-down version of the 11 Pro, but not by much.
- The company writes that it’s “12% thinner and 10% lighter” than its larger sibling, with the same 6.85-inch 144Hz AMOLED panel.
