Under the Spotlight: The REDMAGIC 10 Air

At REDMAGIC, we aim to create and innovate at every level to give our community a range of devices that elevate gaming while speaking directly to their needs. This has led us to develop exciting new products that openly redefine industry standards. Now, we stand at the edge of greatness after the launch of our REDMAGIC 10 Air gaming smartphone. 

This lightweight powerhouse has exceeded expectations and delivered uncompromising performance while remaining true to its affordable and accessible price range. This has drastically set 10 Air apart from its competitors and inspired us to push production with a more user-centric approach. In this blog article, we focus on the clear-cut positive reception of the 10 Air in the general industry and how it has helped us to focus our values for our products. This valued feedback has been the cornerstone of our commitment to improving and innovating with all of our devices. 

Raising the Bar for Gaming Smartphones

When it comes to making big moves in the industry, we’re no stranger to upping the standards. The REDMAGIC brand has always been synonymous with innovative designs and engineering. The 10 Air has become a widely popular gaming smartphone since its arrival on shelves, with many reviewers and publications commending the power-packed performance at such an affordable price. According to Tech Radar, the 10 Air could be considered “one of the most accessible and inviting gaming phones on the market in 2025.”

Apart from setting up a new tone in the market, the 10 Air also shows resilient performance with its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, further enhanced by the RedCore R3 and Energy Cube Technology. This double-action blend of performance provides desktop-like graphics and seamless performance while optimizing power management. Tech Radar also called the device “a winning blend of power and portability,” while they assured their readers that the phone remains a strong runner that continues to be competitive in 2025, especially with either 12 or 16GB of RAM to help it out.

Now, the 10 Air has turned heads with its lower price range, but it has also caused many to doubt its power – after all, how good can the phone be if it’s that affordable? Fortunately, we’re prepared to put our money where our mouths are to prove that the 10 Air is still a powerhouse in every way. The CPU benchmark tests by Tech Radar found that the 10 Air comfortably beats the Pixel 9 Pro XL with its Tensor G4, which is one of the top flagship phones at the moment. They also concluded that the phone is capable of running the most advanced games on high settings and fluid frame rates, with titles like GRID Legends, Genshin Impact, and Warzone Mobile running beautifully on the 10 Air’s chip.

The Proof Is in the Pudding

Many YouTube reviewers have stuck their necks out to defend the 10 Air as a gaming smartphone. Naturally, we are more than grateful for every review and bit of feedback we receive. For TK Bay, the 10 Air proved to be a “gamechanger” in the industry that touted both great performance and design. In his review, he noted that the 10 Air is a great bang for the buck experience that gives you all the benefits of REDMAGIC that users typically come to enjoy in a smaller, thinner, and lighter device. He further concluded that the impressive fast charging, large battery, large display, and great gaming experience make the phone unique on the market. 

Along the same vein, Short Circuit also assured his viewers in his review that the 10 Air still keeps some of the “amazing features” that make it one of the best gaming phones on the market, despite its more affordable price tag. He also commended the great gaming features consistent with every REDMAGIC device, such as the phone’s intuitive shoulder triggers, incredible 6.8-inch screen, and impressive under-screen camera.

Speaking of daily driver compatibility, within another YouTube review by Gadget Sidekick, the reviewer pointed out that the 10 Air is also an ideal match for day-to-day tasks. He commented that the phone would perform perfectly outside of gaming as well and would comfortably last a whole day with its 6,000 mAh battery and 80W fast charging. 

He also went on to compliment the phone’s impressive screen, stating that its resolution is wonderful and that the colors produced are “quite punchy.” Whether you’re streaming videos or browsing through social media, he assures that you’ll have a great experience because of the high refresh rate. 

He further commented on the phone’s 50 MP rear and ultra-wide shot cameras that can shoot you up to 8K and 30 FPS. He found that you could take seamless and sharp pictures with enhanced clarity and vibrancy.

For a more gaming-centric focus, he then noted that he had played several demanding titles on the phone, including Genshin Impact, Call of Duty Mobile, Wuthering Waves, Honor of Kings, Farlight 84, and Call of Duty Warzone. He stated that the phone was seamlessly performing at its best, with great graphics and almost no frame drops. He also enjoyed the “very responsive” shoulder triggers on the phone as well, and finally concluded that if you're into heavy gaming and don't like heavy phones, the 10 Air is definitely a good choice.

For TA Tech, the 10 Air was touted as “lightweight, blazing fast, and packed with flagship power — all without the flagship price tag.” He put the phone to the test with Warzone Mobile, PUBG Mobile, Fortnite Mobile, Delta Force, Genshin Impact, and even Nintendo Switch emulation and Windows gaming via Winlator, all at max settings.

Trusted Reviews also stated that the 10 Air “offers a lighter and more affordable alternative” to our brand’s usual gaming behemoths. In the review’s list of pros, they mention the lightweight size of the phone, the IP54 rating, the uninterrupted screen, and the excellent performance for the price. The publication also noted that our gaming phones consistently offer some of the best performance on the market, and at relatively affordable upper, mid-range prices. They insist that we have cemented ourselves as “a top pick for mobile gamers who want bang for their buck.”

The reviewer enjoyed “several hours of Zenless Zone Zero on maxed-out settings without so much as a hiccup in the frame rate.” They further noted that gamers who dabble in emulation would easily be able to run some relatively modern systems and “brute force their way through poor optimization with the sheer power of this chipset.”

They also enjoyed the phone’s “massive list of optimizations and tools to improve your gaming experience,” many of which have been present on previous phones from us.

According to Mobilawy’s review, the 10 Air is a “comprehensive package for tech enthusiasts and gamers, combining advanced hardware, innovative design, and powerful software capabilities.” The review further states that the phone’s unique features and robust performance make it “a formidable contender in the premium smartphone market, catering to users who seek both high efficiency and entertainment in a single device at a reasonable price point.”

To round up some of the stellar reviews of the 10 Air, we can simply look at the words of Matt Keith for Yahoo, who resolved that the 10 Air is ultimately “designed for performance,” and brings many of the design elements and specifications from the well-received REDMAGIC 10 Pro into a slimmer, more cost-effective package. 

Keith states that the unique features, powerful specs, and impressive price point of the gaming phone push it to stand out in the competitive gaming smartphone arena. According to him, the design of the 10 Air is what notably sets it apart from many other phones he’s reviewed recently. He was impressed by the phone’s hidden front-facing camera and stunning display for a beautiful and immersive visual presentation.

“Even when putting the REDMAGIC 10 Air through its paces on the bench and in real-world testing, the phone performed exceptionally well.”

When it came to performance, Keith was equally impressed by the 10 Air, which performed similarly to or better than the POCO F7 Ultra in gaming tests. He noted that while both phones could push the limits of most titles, the 10 Air handles cooling and longevity better, thanks to its larger battery and better cooling. The 10 Air also maintains a more consistently precise touch screen experience while gaming due to the 960Hz average touch rate.

For Keith, games like Call of Duty: Mobile and Diablo Immortal felt “exceptionally responsive and precise.” He concluded that the overall gaming experience on the phone was duly impressive, with every title tested running smoothly and without performance issues.
