REDMAGIC 11 Air launches in Singapore with ultra-slim design and flagship gaming performance

REDMAGIC has launched the REDMAGIC 11 Air in Singapore, introducing the slimmest and lightest device in its Air series of gaming smartphones to date. The new model combines a refined ultra-thin design with flagship-grade hardware, including Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite platform, a dedicated RedCore R4 gaming chip, and a large 7,000mAh battery. The device is positioned to deliver sustained gaming performance while remaining practical for everyday use.

The REDMAGIC 11 Air builds on the foundations of the previous Air generation, targeting mobile gamers who want high performance without the bulk commonly associated with gaming smartphones. By pairing powerful internals with a lighter, more ergonomic form factor, REDMAGIC aims to appeal to users who spend long hours gaming but still want a device suitable for daily tasks such as communication, media consumption, and productivity.

This launch reflects REDMAGIC’s continued focus on pushing gaming-centric innovation into slimmer designs. The company is positioning the 11 Air as proof that advanced cooling, long battery life, and competitive gaming features can coexist within a compact and visually distinctive smartphone.

Flagship performance powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite

At the heart of the REDMAGIC 11 Air is the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. Compared with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 used in the previous Air model, the new chipset delivers improved performance efficiency, faster processing speeds, and more consistent output during demanding workloads. This results in smoother gameplay, reduced loading times, and more reliable multitasking.

Supporting the main processor is REDMAGIC’s RedCore R4 gaming chip, working alongside the brand’s proprietary CUBE system-level scheduling engine. Together, these components are designed to optimise performance dynamically by managing frame rates, visual quality, and power consumption in real time. Games running at 60 frames per second can be upscaled to 144 frames per second, delivering smoother motion and improved visual clarity.

Image rendering is enhanced through improved colour accuracy, contrast, and detail, with additional stylised filters available for a more cinematic gaming experience. Haptic feedback is also refined, with the system working closely with the device’s linear motor to deliver immersive vibrations that respond to in-game actions such as movement, impacts, and gunfire. RGB lighting can be synchronised with in-game audio, reinforcing the esports-inspired aesthetic.

Beyond individual features, the system focuses on maintaining stable performance over extended periods. Frequency throttling is reduced, display brightness remains consistent, and intelligent load prediction helps prevent sudden frame drops during intense gameplay. Power usage is optimised during less demanding scenes, helping extend battery life without compromising responsiveness or visual fidelity.

Ultra-thin design with advanced cooling and long-lasting endurance

The REDMAGIC 11 Air is 12 percent thinner and 10 percent lighter than the REDMAGIC 11 Pro, while retaining the slim profile introduced with the 10 Air. Its industrial design combines subtle curves, a transparent gaming-inspired finish, and integrated RGB lighting, creating a distinctive look that remains comfortable to hold during long gaming sessions. Despite the slimmer chassis, REDMAGIC has maintained a solid, balanced feel intended to reduce hand fatigue.

Thermal management is a key focus of the new model. For the first time in the Air series, the device includes an active cooling turbofan operating at up to 24,000 RPM. The fan uses a staggered fin design to maximise airflow and efficiently dissipate heat, helping the phone maintain stable performance during prolonged, high-intensity gaming. This is paired with an upgraded 4D Ice-Steps vapour chamber, which delivers a 40 percent improvement in heat diffusion efficiency through a larger vapour space and tiered internal structure designed to reduce hotspots.

Despite its slim form factor, the REDMAGIC 11 Air houses a 7,000mAh battery, representing a 1,000mAh increase over the previous generation. This supports longer gaming sessions, extended video streaming, and reliable all-day use. The device supports 80W fast charging, enabling quick top-ups when needed. Charge Separation technology allows power to be delivered directly to the motherboard during gaming, bypassing the battery to reduce heat and help preserve long-term battery health, while PowerCube AI Energy Management balances performance and efficiency across different usage scenarios.

The smartphone features a 2688 by 1216 full-screen display with ultra-narrow bezels and a 144Hz refresh rate, delivering smoother and more responsive visuals than the 120Hz panel on the previous model. Dual stereo speakers provide richer, more balanced audio, while an upgraded linear motor offers precise, directional haptic feedback. The inclusion of 520Hz shoulder triggers enables console-style control, with support for both horizontal and vertical gaming orientations.

Beyond gaming, the REDMAGIC 11 Air includes a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilisation, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 16MP front camera, supported by AI-enhanced imaging for improved low-light performance. Connectivity features include 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, and infrared control, alongside integration with Google Gemini AI for real-time translation, AI-assisted input, and smart device management.

The REDMAGIC 11 Air is available in Phantom and Prism colour options, priced at S$779 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant, and S$919 for the 16GB RAM and 512GB storage model. Sales begin from 1 February 2026 at 8:00 PM through REDMAGIC’s official stores on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Singapore.
