RedMagic, the professional gaming wing of Nubia, has officially announced the global release of the RedMagic 11 Air Trace Edition. This new variant marks a significant expansion of the 11 Air series, which first debuted in January. The Trace Edition joins the existing Phantom and Prism models, aiming to solidify the brand’s dominance in the high-performance mobile gaming sector.
A New Aesthetic for Elite Performance
While the internal hardware remains rooted in the series’ flagship architecture, the Trace Edition introduces a distinct visual identity. Unlike its predecessors, this edition is tailored specifically for power users, offered exclusively in a high-tier configuration of 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.
The device is built around the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, the industry-leading chipset designed for sustained peak performance. To further distinguish its gaming pedigree, RedMagic has integrated the proprietary RedCore R4 chip. This secondary processor is dedicated to managing ultra-responsive graphics and maintaining consistent frame rates, utilizing AI-enhanced optimization to handle the thermal and processing demands of modern AAA mobile titles.
Visual and Battery Innovation
The RedMagic 11 Air Trace Edition retains the series’ acclaimed 6.85-inch AMOLED display. With a resolution of 1216×2688 and a 144Hz refresh rate, the panel is engineered for fluid motion. It also features a 2,592Hz PWM dimming frequency and a peak brightness of 1,800 nits, ensuring clarity even under direct sunlight.
Photography is handled by a versatile triple-camera array, led by a 50MP main sensor equipped with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), supported by an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 16MP front-facing camera. Powering the experience is a massive 7,000 mAh battery, which supports 80W wired fast charging, allowing gamers to return to the action with minimal downtime.
Leadership Vision
During the launch event, the CEO of Nubia emphasized the brand’s commitment to the gaming community:
“With the Trace Edition, we are bridging the gap between raw power and refined design,” said Ni Fei, CEO and co-founder of Nubia Technology.
“Our goal has always been to provide gamers with the tools they need to stay ahead of the curve. By combining the Snapdragon 8 Elite with our custom RedCore R4 silicon, we are delivering an uncompromising experience for those who demand the best in mobile e-sports.”
