With a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor featuring liquid cooling, a 185 Hz OLED display, and a PC emulator with Steam support, the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro is one of the most exciting mini-tablets of the year.

The RedMagic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro is the direct successor to the RedMagic Astra. With this new model, RedMagic aims to stand out primarily with extreme performance in a compact form factor.

To achieve this, the manufacturer has equipped the device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which, thanks to liquid cooling, doesn’t need to be severely throttled even during extended gaming sessions. RedMagic uses a transparent cover and RGB lighting to highlight the liquid cooling system on the back of the tablet as a design accent. The tablet features a 9.06-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 185 Hz, an impressive peak HDR brightness of 1,600 nits, and a full-screen brightness of 1,100 nits. 
 


The tablet comes with a PC emulator that also supports Steam. However, it’s important to note that such emulators are not compatible with all games, and a gamepad is recommended for more comfortable gaming sessions. The 8,300 mAh battery can be charged at up to 80 watts via two USB-C ports. Nubia has integrated a fingerprint sensor into the power button and a red slider that activates gaming mode. The tablet is 6.9 millimeters thick and weighs 363 grams.

Pricing and availability

The Nubia RedMagic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro is available in China with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of flash storage for CNY 4,999 ($735). The tablet is set to launch internationally as the RedMagic Astra 2, but details regarding the launch date or price in the rest of the world have not yet been announced.
