The next generation RedMagic gaming tablet will be announced soon.
Following an initial delay, RedMagic has now announced the launch month for its next gaming tablet. It has also revealed that the tablet will be packing some cutting-edge features which should give it an edge over the competition.

Back in early April, a RedMagic executive provided a timeframe for when its next gaming tablet would be released. Considering that timeframe has almost passed, no thanks to a delay, RedMagic has now revealed a specific launch month for the upcoming tablet which will arrive as the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro.

According to a poster shared on the RedMagic Weibo page, the new tablet will be released in June, although the specific date has not yet been revealed. The post also mentions that the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro will have 10 cutting-edge features.

The RedMagic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro will now launch in June.

Among the features it will have according to ITHome are an OLED display with an ultra-high refresh rate, a premium chipset, PC-grade thermal management materials, advanced heat dissipation, and a flat and transparent design. It will also launch with a new user interface and a PC games emulator.

Previously, it was reported that the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro will get an international release. That hasn't changed, but its launch date hasn't yet been revealed. However, with the China launch happening later than originally planned, there's a chance the global launch has also been pushed back.

When RedMagic's new tablet launches, it will be going against rivals such as the Lenovo Legion Y700 (Gen 5) a.k.a. the Legion Tab Gen 5 (available on Lenovo US for $849.99).
