Nubia RedMagic 10 Air: A 7.85 mm slim gaming phone — performance without the brick weight.
SpecEagle Editorial·Feb 2025·$549·Score 83/100
RedMagic 10 Air proves a gaming phone with an active fan can be 7.85 mm thin and 205 g — closer to a slab flagship than a brick. Against the 10 Pro (bigger battery, 3.5 mm jack) and ROG Phone 9 (heavier), it wins for buyers who want gaming silicon without the bulk.
