The Red Magic Nova gaming tablet debuted earlier this month in China and is now going global.
Red Magic claims this is the best tablet for triple-A gaming thanks to a combination of a powerful chipset, a capable display, a large battery, and advanced passive and active cooling.
Inside the Red Magic Nova is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Edition – a higher clocked version of the SoC with a 3.4 GHz Cortex-X4 prime core and a GPU running at 1 GHz. This matches the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for the Galaxy, making it the current best chipset in terms of performance in the Android realm.
But while Samsung’s devices rely on passive cooling, the Red Magic Nova brings a 9-layer cooling system headlined by a 20,000 RPM turbofan. Between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and the fan are a heat pipe, air duct, heat dissipation alloy, graphene, copper foil, thermally conductive gel, copper foil on the motherboard, and an all-metal aircraft aluminum case. Red Magic says this comprehensive system reduces core temperature by 25°C.
A 10,100mAh battery with 80W charging support powers the tablet. Red Magic says you can expect 10 hours of gaming and almost 19 hours of regular use.
The Red Magic Nova’s all-metal body features a CNC-cut center frame, a 45-degree non-slip bevel, and an anodized back. The tablet weighs 520 grams and is 7.3 mm thick.
The screen is a 10.9-inch 2880x1800px IPS LCD with a 144Hz refresh rate and up to 840Hz touch sampling. There is a 20 MP camera on the front and a single 50 MP camera on the back.
