- 16GB RAM + 1TB storage
- 24GB RAM + 1TB storage (top-tier model)
While an exact release date hasn’t been announced, the tablet is already available for pre-order in China. Internationally, it’s likely to launch under the name RedMagic Astra 2.
RedMagic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro display and performance features
RedMagic has made a name by focusing squarely on gaming devices in a sea of general-purpose tablets, positioning itself as a niche alternative to more mainstream players like Apple’s iPad or Samsung’s Galaxy Tab series, which don’t typically cater specifically to high-refresh-rate gaming. With this latest hardware boost, RedMagic looks to sharpen its edge amid growing competition from Asus’s ROG lineup and Xiaomi’s gaming-centric efforts.
The Gaming Tablet 5 Pro’s combination of a 185Hz OLED screen and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip not only promises buttery-smooth gameplay but also marks one of the highest refresh rates seen on tablets to date. As mobile gaming continues to push hardware limits, this device could set a new benchmark for what’s possible in a portable gaming slate.
