Upcoming RedMagic compact gaming tablet leaks with 200 Hz OLED display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC

It has already been officially confirmed that a successor to the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro, known globally as the RedMagic Astra, is nearing its launch. While we did not have too many details to share back then, it appears that we do now courtesy of a known leaker on Weibo.

According to Digital Chat Station's cryptic post on Weibo, it appears quite likely that the upcoming RedMagic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro will be powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship SoC. The powerful SoC easily breaks the 10,000-point barrier in Geekbench, and sports the powerful Adreno 840 iGPU for excellent gaming performance.

The tablet might also feature an impressive 200 Hz OLED display, although its exact size is unclear as of now. This falls in line with a previous teaser from RedMagic, claiming that the upcoming gaming tablet will outshine competitors with 165 Hz displays, such as the Legion Tab Gen 5. Considering that its predecessor was equipped with a 9-inch display, we can expect a similar compact form factor for the Gaming Tablet 5 Pro as well. 

Finally, Digital Chat Station mentioned that the gaming tablet will sport a 9,000-mAh battery. While that may sound like a lot, the powerful SoC paired with a 200 Hz OLED display will definitely eat into its battery life performance. As with all pre-release chatter, readers are advised to accept this information with a fair amount of skepticism.

It is unclear how much the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro will cost when it finally launches in China, with a global release, likely under a different name, following in the near future. Considering the specifications on offer, it is almost definitely expected to cost a small fortune.
