RedMagic has confirmed that its latest gaming-focused smartphone, the RedMagic 11 Air, will receive an international launch on January 29, 2026, marking the beginning of its rollout outside of China. The company lists 12:00 UTC (7:00 a.m. EST) as the global launch time, which is expected to coincide with pre-orders and pricing announcements for regions worldwide.
First introduced in China on January 20, the RedMagic 11 Air brings flagship-class hardware into a relatively slim gaming phone. It is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset paired with up to 16 GB LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, aimed at smooth performance for gaming and multitasking. The device features a 6.85-inch 1.5K OLED display with a 144 Hz refresh rate and ultra-narrow bezels, delivering an immersive visual experience.
Battery life is a highlight on the 11 Air, with a 7,000 mAh cell that supports 120 W fast charging and bypass charging to reduce battery stress during extended gaming sessions. The phone also includes an active cooling system with a fan and vapor chamber to help maintain performance under load, a rare feature at this level of slim design.
In terms of optics, the RedMagic 11 Air sports a 50 MP main rear camera, an 8 MP ultra-wide unit, and a 16 MP under-display front camera, supporting an all-screen look without a notch or punch hole. Connectivity touches include 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and an in-display fingerprint sensor.
China pricing started at ¥3,699 (~$530) for the 12 GB/256 GB version and ¥4,399 (~$630) for the 16 GB/512 GB model, with additional colours like Aurora Silver expected later. While exact global pricing has yet to be confirmed, the January 29 event will likely reveal region-specific details and availability after the initial China debut.
