The Redmagic series of gaming phones has always delivered the magic touch, breezing through various titles with great ease. Having a compact form factor certainly helps its case, allowing for on-the-go enjoyment at all times.
But sometimes, bigger is better. The bonus screen real estate offers more immersion, making both work and play a pleasant affair — from multitasking and watching the latest shows to defeating hordes of enemies in gaming titles. Building on its strong framework, the Redmagic Nova combines a handset’s portability and the oomph of a laptop into a 530-gram body, establishing itself as a lightweight powerhouse.
The tablet packs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version processor, essentially an overclocked edition of the regular chip that promises enhanced performance. It will also be the first of its kind to boast an internal fan and 3D heat pipe for improved heat dissipation, proving effective at beating the heat under heavy loads.
As for display tech, the Redmagic Nova features a 10.9-inch panel with a 2,880 x 1,800 resolution, a 16:10 aspect ratio, and a 144Hz refresh rate. The visual experience, powered by brawny hardware, yielded exceptional results in Zenless Zone Zero, Genshin Impact, Call of Duty: Warzone, and PUBG Mobile, clocking little to no frame rate dips across all four titles, as well as a crisp, smooth and satisfying experience.
