The other key specs of the Red Magic 10 Air include a 6.8-inch BOE OLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 93.7% screen-to-body ratio. The screen is rated at 1600 nits peak brightness, 10-bit color, 100% DCI-P3, 2160Hz PWM, and DC dimming. For gaming, the phone makes use of an ultra-fast 2000Hz touch sampling rate with Magic Touch technology that increases responsiveness by 20%. It’s also the brand’s thinnest full-screen gaming phone at just 7.85mm thick with symmetrical weight distribution and brand new 2.5D flat edges that help it stay easy in-hand.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor is driving the device, along with a custom Red Core R3 chip that optimizes in-game performance by dynamically adjusting audio, vibration, and lighting according to user preferences. It comes with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM with up to 512GB UFS 4.0 storage for smooth multitasking and fast load speeds. The “Composite Liquid Metal 2.0” cooling system enables the Red Magic 10 Air to keep temperatures down during heavy gaming sessions. This includes a big 3D vapor chamber, high-conductivity graphite sheets, and phase-change materials that rapidly pull heat away from the core parts.
Nubia claims this setup offers “gaming laptop-level” heat dissipation and can be further enhanced with the Red Magic Cooler 6 Pro, which attaches magnetically to the phone for continuous cooling during long gaming sessions. The phone runs on Red Magic OS 10 based on Android 15, which offers gaming gaming-optimized UI as well as the help of AI-powered tools like Red Magic, DeepSeek, Crosshair Assist, Recon Mode, Motion Control, and Buff Trigger for a better gaming performance.
