The RedMagic 11 Air is now out in the wild, and with it comes a cheaper, slimmer handset looking to take the grunt work of the Pro and scale it to more players. This is still a Snapdragon 8 Elite device from the makers behind some of the best gaming phones on the market, though - not too shabby for $529. That's just a little less than the RedMagic 10 Air's MSRP.
Launching in the same week as $3,000 options from Samsung, the RedMagic 11 Air is pretty refreshing. It offers everything I've come to expect from these dedicated gaming phones, with smart sacrifices away from the fancier features of its flagship sibling. You won't find any visible liquid cooling windows here, but a 7,000mAh battery and performance that beats Asus's last release can still turn just as many heads.
