High performance at a low price is not something that most phone makers prioritize. Instead, the biggest brands around have been focusing on building up their flagship phones to new heights of both power and cost, and in a few cases, creating new, lighter "Air" editions of those phones to both show off their engineering skills and try to attract users who think modern smartphones are just too big.
But these two seemingly incompatible design directions have converged in the RedMagic 11 Air, a cheaper, slimmer version of the flagship RedMagic 11 Pro that still offers flagship-grade specs where it counts. And it's a kind of gaming phone that I think I want to see more of.
