According to Digital Chat Station, the RedMagic 11 Air is expected to debut in China in January 2026. While Nubia has not yet announced an official launch date or availability details for global markets, the early confirmation suggests that the company is gearing up for an early-year release.
Performance and Cooling
The RedMagic 11 Air is widely expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, positioning it among the most powerful Android smartphones of its generation.

On the photography front, the RedMagic 11 Air is rumored to feature a 50MP primary rear camera, while the front-facing camera remains hidden beneath the display. The phone is also expected to house a large-capacity battery, though exact figures have not yet been revealed.
Memory and Storage
Additional reports indicate that the device could come with up to 24GB of RAM, aligning with RedMagic’s focus on extreme performance and multitasking, especially for high-end gaming and demanding applications.
What’s Next
Nubia has yet to share official specifications, pricing, or regional availability details. However, with a January 2026 launch window reportedly in place, more teasers, certifications, and leaks are expected to surface in the coming weeks.
If the leaks hold true, the RedMagic 11 Air could further strengthen Nubia’s position in the competitive gaming smartphone market by combining top-tier hardware, advanced cooling, and a truly immersive display.
