Following the recent release of the REDMAGIC 10 Air Gaming phone, which I recently reviewed for Coolsmartphone, we have another tablet from REDMAGIC.
This time around it is going to be called the REDMAGIC Astra Gaming Tablet, and quite a few things look to have changed from the previous version, the Nova, which I also reviewed.
This looks like it will be a 9.06″ gaming tablet which will feature a 2.4K AMOLED screen with the requisite high refresh rate, 165hz in this case. Of course you get the other staples that you would expect like a high end Chipset from Snapdragon in the form of an 8 Gen Elite processor supported by the RedCore R3 Pro chip which gives you the very best gaming experience form the current tech. This is supported by 24GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage and powered by a 8200mAh to keep things ticking over. This battery will apparently allow for up to 6.67 hrs of continuously gaming of COD Mobile which will also allow you experience this game is wonderful 120 FPS thanks to the upscaling effect of the RedCore R3 Pro.
The REDMAGIC Astra Gaming Tablet will come in two colours which are Eclipse (Black) and Starfrost (Silver) I really do like the look of the silver version and that would be my personal preference.
Having seen what REDMAGIC can do with their gaming phones I am really excited to see what can be achieved on the larger tablet platform.
I have included a small teaser video for you below to give you a taste.
I am hoping to get a review unit in soon to allow me to fully put this tablet to the test and the full Coolsmartphone review.
Check back here with us at Coolsmartphone Towers in the coming weeks.
You will be able to place a preorder on the REDMAGIC website from tomorrow at 13:00 UK time, with prices starting at £439for the base entry level model which comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The price of the top spec is £739 which will give you 24GB of RAM AND 1TB.

incorporating Liquid Metal 2.0 with an exceptional thermal conductivity of 200 W/m·K,
comparable to that found in high-end gaming PCs. This advanced material activates at around 50°C, rapidly transferring heat away from critical components such as the CPU and battery. Coupled with industry-first dual-layer vapor chambers positioned above and below the chipset, the cooling system enables efficient heat dissipation, stable frame rates, and up to a 13% increase in charging efficiency, ensuring smooth performance during extended gaming sessions.
