Editorial report
ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Air 16 GB / 512 GB / Global technical sheet
The ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Air suits buyers seeking a gaming phone with very strong hardware and a fast display. Its main trade-off is the main camera's f/1.9 aperture, which is less bright than that of most phones of its time.
Its 6.85″ AMOLED display combines 144Hz refresh with a 90.7% usable surface, both among the best figures of its time. It also has 431 ppi and a 7.8 mm thickness. The Snapdragon 8 Elite, 12GB of RAM and UFS 4.1 storage give games and multitasking a powerful foundation. Its 3,897,036 AnTuTu points are among the best of its time.
The 50MP main camera adds a 1/1.55″ sensor, optical image stabilization and 8K recording. The sensor is larger than those in most phones, although its f/1.9 aperture is less bright. A 7,000mAh battery holds more capacity than most, while 120W charging is among the fastest of its time. Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 and broad navigation support.
With an overall NeoScore of 7.8, the ZTE nubia RedMagic 11 Air is better than most phones of its time. It is best suited to buyers who prioritize gaming, display speed and connectivity.
