If you’ve been waiting for a compact Android gaming tablet that doesn’t compromise on power, your wait is almost over.
The Redmagic Astra 2 — launched in China as the Redmagic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro — is now confirmed for global markets with US pricing. It’s a sequel to one of our favorite compact-but-powerful Android gaming tablets, and like the first generation, it has a 9-inch AMOLED display, a fingerprint sensor, and a ton of power under the hood.
What you’re getting
- Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset with liquid cooling for sustained gaming performance
- 9.06-inch AMOLED display at up to 185Hz
- 8,300 mAh battery with 75W charging through both USB-C ports simultaneously
- Android 16 with Redmagic’s gaming skin on top
Pricing starts at $699 for the 12GB/256GB model and $799 for the 16GB/512GB model. That’s cheaper than Lenovo’s latest Legion Tab.
The initial release kicks off in “mid-August” for those who manage to snag an early bird voucher, with a wide global release later in the month.
