I replaced my Pixel 9 Pro with this $700 Android phone for a week - and it did some things better


The Redmagic 10 Air delivers a compelling mix of power and aesthetics, positioning it as a strong contender for a daily driver, despite notable compromises.

It's great at capturing detail and brightness in shots, but the lack of contrast and oversaturation put the imaging system a tier below more premium handsets like the iPhone 16 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S25 series. I'd highly recommend you visit Redmagic's spec page and check with your carrier to see if its LTE/5G data can be received properly by the phone.
