Ready, Set, Game! Redmagic's Gaming Tablet Pro 3 Takes Aim at Compact Gaming Dominance
Tablets with compact size are witnessing a resurgence, and there's one model that might surpass the iPad mini in a significant aspect.
In the world of compact gaming devices, Redmagic's latest offering, the Gaming Tablet Pro 3, is poised to shake things up. Boasting a powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and a sleek 9-inch OLED display boasting a lightning-fast 165Hz refresh rate, this tablet is grabbing headlines in China and beyond.
Catching our eye, especially, is how the Gaming Tablet Pro 3 contrasts with the iPad mini A17 Pro. While Apple's offering offers commendable performance for daily tasks, it's not the go-to for serious gamers, with a mere 60Hz display and hardware geared more toward general use. Redmagic's creation, on the other hand, is purpose-built for gaming, joining the ranks of high-powered Android slates making waves in the market.
The Gaming Tablet Pro 3 is set to release in China this week, with plans to expand to other markets soon. According to GSM Arena, the device touts a 9-inch OLED display with a jaw-dropping peak local brightness of 1,600 nits and a cooling system designed to keep up during intensive game sessions.
Comparisons to other tablets, like those from Lenovo, demonstrate the Pro 3's superiority in gaming performance, particularly in titles like PUBG. Exciting features include a large 8,200mAh battery for extended gameplay, an active cooling system, a dedicated vapor system, and even RGB lighting for a personalized touch.
Two color options, Deuterium Blade Transparent Dark Night and Deuterium Blade Transparent Silver Wing, give gamers the freedom to match their tablet to their style.
Pricing information for the Redmagic Gaming Tablet Pro 3 hasn't been fully disclosed yet. The Redmagic Nova Gaming Tablet, however, had a launch price of £439 / $499 / €499 (about AU$912), offering a rough estimate of the upcoming device's cost. As the Nova is currently out of stock on the Redmagic UK site, we can surmise that the Pro 3 is set to replace it in the coming months.
