The RedMagic 10 Air was launched by Nubia last April and is still less than a year old. It currently retails for $589 on Amazon and features a 120 Hz AMOLED screen, dual 50 MP cameras, and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor all within a slim 7.9 mm body. Despite this, Nubia has already made the RedMagic 11 Pro available globally, which we have discussed in another article. Now, it appears that Nubia is getting ready to unveil a new smartphone under the Air brand.

New Model in Development?

At this time, Nubia hasn’t officially announced that a RedMagic 11 Air is in the works. However, TENAA has shown that Nubia plans to launch a new smartphone with a model number of NX799J that has a thickness of under 8 mm. The images below indicate that the NX799J comes with a 7.85 mm body and a large battery capacity of about 7,000 mAh (with a rated capacity of 6,780 mAh), which contributes to its projected weight of 207 g.

Battery and Display Specs

Even though the RedMagic 11 Air is just 2 g heavier than the RedMagic 10 Air, the 7,000 mAh battery would provide a 16.6% increase in capacity over its predecessor. Additionally, TENAA reveals that the new model boasts a 6.85-inch display resolution of 2,688 x 1,216 pixels. It’s also said to be a bit shorter and narrower than the RedMagic 10 Air, measuring 163.82 x 76.54 mm.

Camera and Performance Insights

Moreover, the TENAA suggests that the RedMagic 11 Air is equipped with a primary 50 MP camera, an 8 MP secondary camera, a 16 MP front camera, and an unspecified tertiary rear camera. Furthermore, it hints that Nubia will power the device with a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, which can be paired with up to 24 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage. According to our benchmarks, the Dimensity 9500 should provide the RedMagic 11 Pro with a performance boost of over 35% compared to the previous model. Unfortunately, details about the release date are still unknown for the moment.
