The most powerful Android gaming tablet just got a new global identity. 
RedMagic’s latest device, previously known in China as the RedMagic Tablet 3 Pro, will hit international markets under the name RedMagic Astra Gaming Tablet starting July 1.
Priced at around $550 in China (roughly €480), this tablet offers top-tier specs for an astonishingly reasonable price. While global pricing hasn’t been disclosed yet, RedMagic hinted it won’t be much higher. The Astra will be available in two sleek finishes: Eclipse Black and Starfrost Silver.
What sets the Astra apart isn’t just its affordability-it’s the bleeding-edge tech packed inside. The device boasts a 9.06-inch OLED display with a 2400 x 1504 resolution, 165Hz refresh rate, and a 16:10 aspect ratio. This is the world’s first OLED gaming tablet, and also the first to feature 5280Hz ultra-high frequency PWM dimming, ensuring ultra-smooth visuals with reduced eye strain.
Under the hood, the Astra is fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version-a souped-up variant of Qualcomm’s latest chip that outpaces even what’s found in many flagship phones, including the Galaxy S25 series. RedMagic is currently the only brand leveraging this processor in a tablet, making the Astra a unique powerhouse in its category.
Despite its slim build, the tablet carries a massive 8,200 mAh battery with industry-leading 80W wired charging. That means more gaming and less waiting. There’s even a built-in fingerprint sensor, a rarity among Android tablets.
Storage options are generous: users can choose from 12/256GB, 16/512GB, or 24GB/1TB configurations. RedMagic is also sweetening the deal with a chance for early adopters to win a full refund by signing up through the official global site.
In a market dominated by oversized and overpriced slates, the Astra Gaming Tablet brings portability, power, and innovation at a competitive price point. For gamers who want flagship muscle without breaking the bank, this could be the Android tablet to beat in 2025.
