Editorial report

ZTE nubia RedMagic 10 Air 12 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet

The ZTE nubia RedMagic 10 Air suits anyone looking for a capable gaming phone with extensive connectivity and fast charging. Its main trade-off is the rear camera’s f/1.9 aperture, which is less bright than that of most phones launched around the same time.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 puts its performance ahead of most phones from its time. This version has 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 4.0 storage; the phone is also sold in configurations up to 16 GB / 512 GB. Its 6.8″ AMOLED display has a 120 Hz refresh rate and 400 ppi pixel density, higher than that of most contemporaries. At 7.9 mm thick, it is also slimmer than most.

The 50 MP rear camera pairs a 1/1.55″ sensor, larger than those in most phones, with optical image stabilization. The f/1.9 aperture is the weaker point in that combination. The 6000 mAh battery has typical capacity for its time, while 80 W fast charging is faster than what most phones of the period offer. Connectivity is a standout: Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and 5G.

With a NeoScore of 7.5, the RedMagic 10 Air ranks ahead of most phones launched around the same time. It makes a compelling choice for buyers who put gaming, connectivity and fast charging first.
