Mobile gaming has made significant advancements over the years, and the RedMagic Nova tablet is looking to take full advantage of these improvements. Now available internationally, the RedMagic Nova is a powerhouse device with impressive specs that enable it to run the latest games with ease. From what we can see, it’s shaping up to be one of the top tablets of 2024.
The RedMagic Nova is truly remarkable and comes in the sleek Midnight color. It offers two configuration options: 12GB of RAM with 256GB of storage or 16GB of RAM with 512GB of storage. Starting at $499, this tablet is priced much lower than phones with similar specifications.
Equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor running at a blazing 3.4GHz, the RedMagic Nova also features a unique cooling system. The internal fan, spinning at 20,000 RPM, ensures that the tablet stays cool even during intense gaming sessions. RedMagic claims that the cooling system can reduce the core temperature by as much as 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit). Combined with the 10,100mAh battery, this tablet offers all-day usage without overheating.
The tablet sports a 10.9-inch display that strikes a perfect balance between size and usability. With a 144Hz refresh rate, it stands shoulder-to-shoulder with top-tier gaming monitors. While the resolution may seem a bit unconventional at 2.8K (2880 x 1880), the 16:9 aspect ratio provides a familiar visual experience.
RedMagic has gone all out to give the tablet a “gamer” aesthetic, with RGB lights near the camera and a retro font design for the cooling system. It’s evident at first glance that this is a gaming-oriented tablet, similar to how an Alienware laptop stands out as a gaming device.
Several games showcased on the tablet include Honkai: Star Rail, Wuthering Waves, and Absolute Zero, all of which maintained a frame rate above 60 fps over a 180-minute play session at Ultra-High Quality settings. The RedMagic Nova is capable of running almost any Android game with ease.
It’s worth noting that while RedMagic claims it’s the only tablet capable of handling AAA games, this isn’t entirely accurate. Devices like the iPad Pro can also run high-end games like Resident Evil. Nevertheless, the RedMagic Nova stands out as an exceptional value proposition due to its impressive capabilities and affordable price point.
