Nubia isn’t waiting around. Just months after launching the RedMagic 11 Pro, the company appears to be prepping the RedMagic 11 Air and if this early leak is anything to go by, it’s shaping up to be a significant step forward. Thanks to a TENAA listing, we now have an early look at its major upgrades, long before an official announcement.
RedMagic 11 Air trims down, bulks up where it matters
Even with a huge 7,000 mAh battery inside, the RedMagic 11 Air reportedly keeps its frame just 7.85 mm thick making it slimmer than most flagships in the gaming space. That’s just a hair above the RedMagic 10 Air’s 7.9 mm, yet the battery capacity jumps by over 16%. For mobile gamers and power users, that’s a big win in daily endurance.
It’s also lighter than expected. At 207 grams, it only adds 2 grams compared to the previous model, which had a smaller 5,980 mAh battery. Clearly, Nubia’s balancing power and portability with careful precision.
Massive spec gains set RedMagic 11 Air apart
The RedMagic 11 Air isn’t just a battery story it’s loaded with hardware upgrades across the board. Here’s what the TENAA filing reveals so far:
- Display: 6.85-inch AMOLED, 2,688 × 1,216 resolution
- Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 9500
- Battery: 7,000 mAh (6,780 mAh rated)
- Rear cameras: 50 MP primary, 8 MP secondary, plus unknown third sensor
- Front camera: 16 MP
- Memory & storage: Up to 24 GB RAM and 1 TB storage
- Body: 7.85 mm thin, 207 g, 163.82 x 76.54 mm dimensions
This combo isn’t just flashy, it’s functional. The Dimensity 9500 should provide up to 35% more performance over the previous generation’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, based on recent benchmark comparisons.
Launch timing unclear, but it looks locked in
Nubia hasn’t confirmed the RedMagic 11 Air’s existence yet, but the presence of model number NX799J in regulatory filings leaves little room for doubt. The TENAA data points to a near-final device, suggesting the official reveal could happen sooner rather than later.
With bigger power, sharper performance, and a body that still slips easily into a pocket, the RedMagic 11 Air looks ready to push lightweight gaming phones into new territory. If Nubia nails the price, this could be the sleeper hit of early 2026.
