The wait is officially over: nubia subsidiary RedMagic has launched the global version of the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro. The RedMagic Astra Gaming Tablet, like its Chinese counterpart, is designed to be a compact powerhouse for serious gamers and content creators alike.

So what makes the RedMagic Astra tick, and more importantly, how much will it set you back?

A closer look at the specs

The RedMagic Astra Gaming Tablet is rocking Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 5G processor. This, coupled with the brand’s 13-layer ICE-X cooling system, complete with Liquid Metal 2.0 and dual-layer vapor chambers, promises to keep performance at its peak, even during those extended, intense gaming sessions. Plus, there’s a signature high-speed turbofan with customizable RGB lighting to add that extra flair.

One of the biggest highlights, as we previously noted, is the 9.06-inch OLED display. RedMagic is touting this as the industry’s narrowest four-sided screen, boasting a 90.1% screen-to-body ratio. This means you’re getting a more immersive viewing experience in a form factor that’s still significantly more portable than traditional 10- to 13-inch tablets. The display itself seems like a stunner, offering 2.4K resolution, a 165Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of 1,600 nits, and a contrast ratio of up to 1,000,000:1. And for gamers, the custom touch chip co-developed with Synaptics ensures a blazing-fast 2,000Hz instant touch-sampling rate.
