Nubia appears to be preparing for the launch of its next gaming-focused smartphone, the Red Magic 11 Air, which is expected to succeed the Red Magic 10 Air in China. Although the company has not officially announced a launch timeline, recent benchmark activity suggests that the device is already in advanced testing stages.
The Red Magic 11 Air has reportedly been spotted on the Geekbench database, offering an early glimpse into its performance capabilities. An unannounced Nubia handset carrying the model number NX799J appeared on the platform on January 5, and this model is widely believed to correspond to the upcoming Red Magic 11 Air. The listing reveals strong benchmark results, with 3,075 points recorded in the single-core test and 9,934 points in the multi-core test.
According to the benchmark details, the tested prototype was equipped with 16GB of RAM and was running on Android 16, indicating that Nubia may ship the device with the latest version of Google’s operating system. The Geekbench entry also highlights an octa-core Qualcomm Armv8 processor, featuring a prime core clocked at up to 4.32GHz alongside six performance cores operating at 3.53GHz, which points to the presence of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
Beyond performance, leaks suggest that the Red Magic 11 Air will focus heavily on display quality and battery life. The smartphone is rumoured to sport a large 6.85-inch OLED screen and house a massive 7,000mAh battery, a combination aimed at delivering extended gaming sessions with immersive visuals. More details are expected to surface as Nubia moves closer to the official launch.
