Nubia continues to tease its upcoming RedMagic 11 Air smartphone, which is set to launch in China on January 20. After the official renders and color options, the company has now revealed more information about its cooling system — or more specifically, an active cooling fan.

The hardware, branded as “Wind Chaser 4.0,” can reportedly hit a top speed of 24,000RPM, matching the number seen on the RedMagic 11 Pro+. It sits inside an aerospace-grade aluminum air-cooled bracket on top of the PCB. While this is a fairly standard implementation of an active cooling fan in smartphones, what makes this device stand out — or at least makes it seem standout — is the “Air” branding. This is said to be an industry-first “Air” branded phone with an active cooling fan.

The teaser also includes big claims regarding the VC cooling system. As per the brand, an “industry-first ultra-thick ice-step VC cooling design” improves the heat dissipation capacity of the vapor chamber by 47% and has also received national invention patent certification. That said, the teaser skipped any mention of the phone’s ingress protection.

The RedMagic 11 Air is said to pack a 7,000mAh battery, which is also a standout number for an “Air” model. So what about the thickness and weight?

Well, this won’t sound jaw-dropping if you’re picturing it as an iPhone Air with active cooling. A thickness of 7.85mm and a reported weight of 207g should be considered normal rather than thin and lightweight. But considering the specs mentioned above, this is still a very appealing option.

To recall, the RedMagic 11 Pro+ from October last year came with an 8.9mm chassis, packed a 7,500mAh battery, and weighed 230g.

According to previous reports, the RedMagic 11 Air’s active cooling system will be paired with the brand’s Cube gaming engine, a self-developed Red Core R4 esports chip, and a built-in PC emulator. Some people may also like the “transparent” aesthetic of this new model.
