RedMagic's next top-end Android gaming tablet is currently believed to be smaller than its last - however, that might not matter as it is also backed to be first of its line to debut with an OLED display. The Nova's successor is now also tipped to beat its Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 4 rival in terms of battery life.

The next generation of RedMagic Nova tablets is now said to have a display of exactly 9 inches while that of its potential Legion Tab Gen 4 (or Y700 4th Gen) nemesis is 8.8 inches - and also the lower of the 2 in resolution at 2400 x 1504 compared to 2650 x 1600 in Lenovo's new gaming tablet.

However, the "Nova 2" (or possibly Nova Mini/Nova S, as it is allegedly more compact) might still have the edge with an upgrade to OLED, compared to IPS-LCD as in its Lenovo rival and own predecessor.

It is also thought to have an ultra-high refresh rate and to be powered by the same Snapdragon 8 Elite processor as the Y700 4th Gen. 

The second-gen Nova might augment cooling for the top-end chipset with its own in-built fan, as with its forebear.

It is also now backed to have the larger battery of the 2 with a capacity now estimated at 8,240mAh - although that would hardly be an achievement, as the 2025 Y700 has turned out to be a 6,550mAh machine (and thereby roundly outclassed by some new smartphones).

The upcoming 2025 RedMagic Nova is now rumored to have the largest battery in a tablet this year nonetheless (which might not say a lot for another supposedly upcoming rival from Redmi). 

That spec might also make it the thickest gaming tablet of the year as well, however.

The RedMagic Wireless Gaming Controller: now $79.99 on Amazon.com
