Now Launching: REDMAGIC 10S Pro — our top-tier flagship for ultimate gaming performance. Learn more >
From a broad perspective, technology has always been about evolution – creating something to supersede what came before. This has been the general order of invention since the beginning of time. When it comes to new devices, we naturally want more features and better functions. However, evolving to meet growing demands also means looking at the needs of the people. The human element is crucial when taking the next step in technology – after all, we are the reason technology exists. At REDMAGIC, we strongly believe that, above all, innovative technology must serve the people.
This brings us back to the general idea behind the latest REDMAGIC gaming smartphone to grace our catalogue. The sleek REDMAGIC 10 Air was designed to blend seamlessly into your day-to-day while still providing the robust gaming performance our REDMAGIC community is used to. In this blog, we explore the idea behind creating the 10 Air and how it follows the REDMAGIC value of putting user needs before all else.
A Supernova of a Smartphone
Now, the REDMAGIC 10 Air was designed to be the more compact, lighter, and affordable option for our REDMAGIC family. With a stunning, near bezel-less 6.8-inch display and 93.7% screen-to-body ratio, the 10 Air amplifies visuals with ease while still maintaining its lightweight and sleek design. Another great feature of the 10 Air is its dual powerhouse performance from the combination of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip with our very own RedCore R3 and Energy Cube Technology enhancements.
While trying to fit in as a daily driver device, the 10 Air still doesn’t shirk away from being a gaming legend as well. With a 120Hz refresh rate, the 10 Air seamlessly pushes gaming to new levels with precise control for FPS games and instant gameplay for MOBA games. With super-resolution technology, the phone effortlessly sharpens in-game textures and enhances visual clarity without straining the GPU 1. The 10 Air also supports 120Hz frame concurrency for over 200 popular games, pushing a 120Hz refresh rate through frame rate boosting and interpolation, and allowing each game to scale to 120 FPS.
With 520 Hz capacitive shoulder triggers, advanced cooling, and a 6,000 mAh battery with 80W fast charging, it’s no surprise that the 10 Air can still hold its own in the market when it comes to a gaming smartphone that does it all. However, it is perfectly reasonable to question the unique design choices of the 10 Air when compared to the more advanced REDMAGIC 10 Pro release.
So, Why Create the 10 Air This Way?
As mentioned earlier, at REDMAGIC, we strive to look at the big picture when it comes to creating innovative devices that meet the needs of our community. We can appreciate and understand that the 10 Air might not have all the same shiny features as its older sibling, the 10 Pro, while still knowing that there is a target market for the underdog – and who doesn’t love a good underdog story?
The 10 Air was designed for the younger generation, and that means that it needs to fit into certain budget constraints. While the youth are always looking for the best tech around, they also tend to go for the more affordable option to suit their current needs. Students, for example, would not have the same budget as a regular working person and would look at the 10 Air as an optimized alternative that won’t drain their wallets.
While the younger REDMAGIC fans are the primary target market, the 10 Air is also the best option for anyone who might find the other REDMAGIC gaming smartphones a bit too pricey for their current circumstances. At REDMAGIC, we believe in promoting access to the best gaming technology and devices around without compromising the budgets and lifestyles of our community. This is why the 10 Air has already done superbly in the market.
Still a Powerhouse Device
While the REDMAGIC 10 Air has fewer features than its predecessor, the 10 Pro, it still pushes performance to the next level with everything it does have. TechRadar went as far as calling it “one of the most accessible and inviting gaming phones on the market in 2025”. In Europe, it’s also recognized by tech media as one of the best gaming smartphones under €500. They also praised the device as a winning blend of power and portability, noting that the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip in the 10 Air remains a very strong performer that continues to be competitive in 2025, especially when paired with either 12GB or 16GB of RAM.
In his review of the 10 Air, ETA Prime also assured that while the 10 Air won’t be competing with the 10 Pro anytime soon, it still offers a great performance nonetheless. To prove this, he tested out the phone playing Genshin Impact and found that the device worked seamlessly at the highest settings. He promised that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip in the phone could handle the game “all day long” and that if a game is on the Google Play Store, you'd easily be able to play it on the 10 Air at full speed and with the highest settings.

He also put the phone’s endurance to the test while playing multiple demanding games, streaming videos, and using emulation technology for several hours. Naturally, the 6,000 mAh battery held its own and ensured a steady stream of entertainment for a long period.

In another review, Vopmart claimed that the 10 Air “strikes a balance between sleek design and uncompromised gaming performance.” They were massively impressed by the device’s capabilities and stated that its “stealthy appearance belies robust internals, making it an appealing choice for style-conscious young gamers seeking both form and function.”
From Geeky Gadgets this time, the 10 Air also received a glowing commendation as they wrote that the 10 Air was seamlessly “rewriting the rules for budget gaming smartphones,” and stated that the creation of the phone itself was a bold move in a market where affordability often means compromise. For them, the 10 Air provides a powerful processor, high-quality display, and gaming-focused features that make it an attractive option for budget-conscious gamers. In conclusion, they state that for those seeking a device that “prioritizes gaming performance without breaking the bank,” the REDMAGIC10 Air stands out as a reliable and versatile choice.
According to Timesbull, the 10 Air also finds the perfect balance of showy features and real-world performance. In their own words, the gaming smartphone is “not just another RGB-obsessed behemoth,” and rather “seeks to deliver an elevated experience without sacrificing gamer-first identity.” They further state that the device successfully blends gaming power with a more refined and premium touch, offering excellent performance, reliable battery life, and a crisp display without overwhelming users with unnecessary gimmicks.
To round off the media traction, Trusted Reviews also added that the REDMAGIC 10 Air offers a lighter and more affordable alternative to REDMAGIC’s usual gaming behemoths. They noted that while the phone can't quite perform like its actively cooled siblings, it's still more than powerful enough to run the most demanding games. They further state that the phone is significantly lighter, has a proper IP rating for rainy days, and offers exceptional value for money.
A Breath of Fresh Air
The REDMAGIC 10 Air has caused quite a ripple in the industry with its unique design and goals, and this is a fact that REDMAGIC is not going to shy away from. The 10 Air was intentionally designed to be an affordable yet powerful gaming smartphone, and that is a trait that we intend to celebrate. While we are mostly marketing the 10 Air to the younger generation of REDMAGIC fans, we hope that it opens the industry to everyone who loves to game. For us at REDMAGIC, the 10 Air is a step towards a future where gaming technology is accessible and affordable, without having to compromise on quality.
