RedMagic's upcoming gaming phone doubles down on endurance with a substantial battery upgrade and 120W charging while emphasizing sustained performance stability.
RedMagic has confirmed key specifications for its forthcoming RedMagic 11 Air gaming phone, targeting China's competitive mobile gaming market. The device marks a significant departure from its predecessor with two major hardware upgrades: a 7,000mAh battery capacity (up from the previous generation's 6,000mAh) and support for 120W wired charging, replacing the earlier 80W implementation.
The expanded battery capacity addresses a common pain point among mobile gamers - extended play sessions requiring frequent recharges. According to RedMagic, the 7,000mAh unit enables approximately 40 hours of mixed-use operation or 8 hours of continuous high-intensity gaming. More notably, the 120W charging system can replenish 50% capacity in 10 minutes under optimal conditions, a practical solution for tournament breaks.
RedMagic also introduced "all-scenario bypass charging," a system that routes power directly to the device's components during gameplay while simultaneously charging the battery. This approach reduces thermal stress by eliminating simultaneous charging and discharging, maintaining consistent frame rates even during prolonged plugged-in sessions. Company testing shows less than a 5% performance drop after 4 hours of continuous resource-intensive gaming when using this mode.
Performance claims have also surfaced through Jiang Chao, RedMagic's General Manager and Product Manager. He stated that the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor demonstrates superior stability compared to MediaTek's Dimensity 9500, particularly during sustained GPU-intensive workloads. Internal benchmarks reportedly show up to 15% fewer frame rate fluctuations during 30-minute stress tests. This stability advantage complements the phone's newly revealed PC game emulation toolkit, which transforms the device into a handheld console with one-touch activation.
While pricing and global availability remain undisclosed, the combination of extended battery life, rapid charging, and thermal management solutions positions the RedMagic 11 Air as a specialized solution for gamers prioritizing session longevity over slim form factors. The official launch is expected within the next quarter.
