REDMAGIC Astra : Compact Power with OLED Display and Performance

RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro (REDMAGIC Astra ), as a member of the RedMagic tablet family, inherits many iconic design elements from its predecessors, such as the transparent appearance, rugged square body, and signature built-in cooling fan, all of which are familiar to RedMagic fans. However, the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro also brings several new changes: it adopts a flat back design, with an overall screen size of 9.06 inches. Compared to the common 8.8-inch small tablets, it’s almost identical in size, maintaining portability. Moreover, it’s the first small-sized tablet to feature an OLED screen, making it a product tailored to user demands.

In addition to its unique design evolution, the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro is equally impressive in terms of its configuration. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, combined with LPDDR5T RAM and UFS 4.1 PRO storage, forming a "performance triangle." It also integrates a PC emulator and a self-developed gaming chip, unlocking even more gaming potential. Despite its small size, it houses a large 8200mAh battery and supports 80W fast charging, proving that "small size" does not equate to lack of "power."

Transparent Rugged Aesthetic Design, Small Size with Big Presence

The RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro (REDMAGIC Astra ) directly inherits the gaming DNA of RedMagic phones — sharp edges, strong lines, and a slightly curved transition in the middle frame that makes it comfortable to hold. The middle frame is made of metal, and the back features a glass + transparent design, giving it a nice texture and strong visual impact. Its thickness reaches 6.9mm, but considering the cooling components and high-power battery, this parameter is not exaggerated. The body weighs around 370g, striking a balance between performance and portability.

In recent years, the "small flat screen" design has become quite popular in the smartphone world, and this trend has found its way into the tablet sector. The RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro (REDMAGIC Astra ) is equipped with a 2400×1504, 165Hz OLED screen, and with a screen size of only 9.06 inches, it clearly belongs to the "small tablet" category. Despite its actual size being slightly larger than the latest iPad Mini (which has an 8.3-inch screen), its narrower bezels (4.9mm vs 9mm on the iPad Mini) make it more compact and visually striking, with a screen-to-body ratio of 89.1% (compared to the iPad Mini's 77%). As a result, the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro offers a broader field of view, yet retains the compactness and portability of a small tablet, easily fitting into your daily commuter bag. Additionally, the small size of the tablet strikes a better balance between size and operation, making it more suited for gaming scenarios. When held in landscape mode, the tablet is very stable, and the key spacing in games is more ergonomic, preventing the awkward situation where your fingers can't reach the buttons due to the screen size.

The OLED screen is another highlight. Most small tablets of this size still use LCD screens, but RedMagic is the first to feature an OLED screen in a small tablet. Thanks to OLED’s self-illuminating nature, the display is more transparent, with higher dynamic contrast and faster response times. Turning to the back, you’ll find the familiar design, with the standout feature being the active cooling fan, positioned next to the camera, with visible fan blades. Surrounding the fan are RGB light rings, which can be adjusted in the system to create effects such as "breathing lights" or "energy rings." Moreover, the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro (REDMAGIC Astra ) also adopts the same flat back design as RedMagic phones, offering both visual simplicity and practicality. This design is particularly beneficial for games that require frequent screen tapping, such as rhythm games, as it prevents the tablet from wobbling when placed on a surface. It’s much more stable than tablets with a curved back.

Audio and Ports: The RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro features stereo speakers with a 1620 specification, delivering excellent sound quality. It also comes with a dedicated gaming button for quick access to the gaming space. The tablet has a full-function USB Type-C port located at the top, supporting 80W fast charging, high-speed data transfer, and video output.

Overall, the appearance of the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro (REDMAGIC Astra ) is clearly not for everyone. However, if you’re a gamer who values a consistent design and want a tablet with attitude and style, this product will undoubtedly be a standout piece on your desk.

Dual-Engine Power, Small Tablet with Big Performance

If you are a "performance enthusiast" or a gamer, the words "RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro" will already give you an idea of its power. In fact, this tablet does not disappoint when it comes to performance. It excels in multiple aspects, including the Snapdragon 8 Supreme processor, the RedMagic R3 Pro chip, and the self-developed CUBE Sky Engine. As a result, its benchmark scores are impressive.

From a benchmarking perspective, the "combat power" of this performance system is quite convincing. In AnTuTu (V10.4.6), it scored over 3.07 million points. In 3DMark Wild Life Extreme, it scored 6681, and in 3DMark Solar Bay, it scored 12055. In GeekBench 6.3, the single-core score was 2637, and the multi-core score was 8123. These benchmark scores are not just for show, but reflect the tablet's extreme performance, ensuring both stability and peak performance for real-world use. Gaming performance is the core highlight of this tablet. We tested three popular games: "Genshin Impact," "Honkai: Star Rail," and "Honor of Kings." In "Genshin Impact" (with custom high settings + 60fps mode), the average frame rate over 30 minutes was 61 FPS, providing smooth gameplay. For high-frame-rate MOBA games like "Honor of Kings," even with maximum graphic settings and 120fps, the frame rate remained stable above 120fps with no noticeable lag.

After playing for 30 minutes, the back temperature reached 44.1°C, which is not excessively hot, and the frame rate remained steady, demonstrating the tablet's efficient heat dissipation. The RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro has an industry-leading cooling system, the ICE Magic Cooling System, which consists of both active and passive cooling components. The turbocharged fan (Wind Control 2.0) has a speed of up to 20,000 rpm, and the tablet features the industry’s first double-layer VC and liquid metal for enhanced core cooling efficiency. With this cooling system, the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro can push its performance even further while maintaining stable, long-lasting power.

Thanks to the RedMagic R3 Pro chip, users can also enable Super Gaming Graphics 3.0 during gameplay. For example, in "Genshin Impact," it allows both Super Frame and Super Resolution modes to run simultaneously, improving the smoothness of gameplay and enhancing the visual clarity. We also tested "Honkai: Star Rail" with Super Gaming Graphics 3.0 enabled, and after 30 minutes, the average frame rate reached 121 FPS, providing a much smoother experience compared to the standard 60 FPS gameplay on other flagship devices. RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro supports over 30+ popular games with 2K+120Hz super-frame and super-resolution concurrent mode, significantly improving the gaming experience. Furthermore, it also includes a PC emulator, allowing users to play PC games and enjoy a more "free" gaming experience.

In conclusion, the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro not only offers extreme performance but also provides long-lasting, stable gaming experiences that other devices struggle to achieve. It goes beyond "hardware stacking" by incorporating a PC emulator and gaming chip to showcase its potential for expansion, making it a leading device in the industry.

Not Just a Gaming Tool, But a Daily Workhorse

REDMAGIC OS has always been a unique system, and the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro comes pre-installed with the latest REDMAGIC OS 10.5. AI capabilities are deeply integrated into the system, with the Magic AI assistant providing features such as AI voice control and in-game tactical suggestions. The AI voice control feature is a lifesaver, allowing you to execute commands like "Ultimate" or "Shoot" without fumbling around to click buttons or switch equipment. Even when you speak quickly, the system responds accurately. During intense battles, issuing commands while executing actions feels incredibly satisfying.

Magic AI doesn’t just follow orders — it also understands the battlefield. For instance, when playing MOBA games, it can recognize the on-screen situation and automatically suggest whether to support teammates or push a tower, helping players decide their next move.

The RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro’s value extends far beyond gaming. It’s also an excellent tool for productivity, content creation, and more. The three-finger swipe gesture allows for efficient multitasking, such as browsing social media while taking notes or watching a video while working. It seamlessly integrates with phones and computers for file transfers and cross-screen operations, saving time and improving efficiency. Moreover, its compact size makes it perfect for use as a teleprompter or a camera monitor during work or filming. The lightweight build ensures it’s never cumbersome, allowing you to carry it effortlessly with one hand.

Conclusion:

The RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro truly understands the real needs of users in different use cases: for gaming, it provides fast, stable, and precise performance, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Supreme version and self-developed dual gaming cores. With its advanced cooling system, it ensures that games run smoothly even at high loads, delivering consistent performance without frame drops. The built-in PC emulator further expands its gaming capabilities, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
