When you think of a tablet, you’re probably thinking of an iPad. But you might leave a blank when it comes to a gaming tablet. Well, Red Magic wants to change that with the Red Magic Nova: a complete gaming tablet with real gaming credentials.
The Red Magic Nova made its global debut this week and is available in one color: Midnight. It comes with a USB-C cable and an 80W charger.
Before we get to the specs, let’s discuss the looks. The Red Magic Nova is thinner than the phones provided by the company. There are no flashy color accents and the LEDs are reduced to the Red Magic logo and a small circle around the integrated fan and only when it is operational.
The chassis is classy and understated and has a premium feel.
On the front there is a large 10.9-inch 1800x2880px IPS LCD display. While some people may lament the lack of an OLED panel, at least it’s a 144Hz unit. It’s also a nice panel with sharp images and good if not amazing brightness.
The Red Magic Nova uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Edition with a 3.4 GHz main core and a GPU frequency of 1 GHz – the highest clocked variants of the SoC around. The Qualcomm chip comes with 12GB or 16GB of RAM.
The 10,100 mAh battery is enough for 10 hours of gaming or almost 19 hours of daily use.
Red Magic has built a 9-layer cooling system with a 3D heat pipe, circulation aid duct, dissipation alloy, graphene, copper foil, thermally conductive gel and a 20,000 rpm internal fan. We have to say that it is barely audible during use.
There is also Red Magic Game Space 9, which optimizes system performance.
The Red Magic Nova goes on sale on October 16, starting at $499/€499/£439 for the 12/256GB model and $649/€649/£559 for the 16/512GB drive. We’ll share more first-hand impressions with the tablet in the coming weeks.
