Every year REDMAGIC releases a new smartphone, but this year we’ve got 2! The Chinese firm specialising in gaming released version 10 earlier this year, and now we’re treated to a lighter version: the REDMAGIC 10 Air .
On the menu: a cheaper, thinner, lighter smartphone with a smaller battery. The complexity of the ventilation system has also been removed, which should have a slight impact on performance. The chip remains the same, so it remains to be seen what the performance gap will be with its big brother.
With a price starting at €499 , the 10 Air is surely the cheapest gaming smartphone on the market… Even if this concept of ‘gaming smartphone’ can encompass a lot of people. Nevertheless, it would be a great deal for REDMAGIC, which is already the king of price/performance ratios.
We like the less pronounced edges of the 10 Air. Although we’ve lost the gaming design. Thinner than its big brother, the 10 Air does have protruding camera lenses. However, the case supplied with the phone will protect the lenses.
