Nubia has announced a brand new gaming tablet and it has a few functions that can position it as a rival of Switch 2.
The Redmagic Tablet 3 Pro – which is sent in the West as the Redmagic Astra – Gaming tablet – is available to buy in China, and it offers a number of interesting changes in the gaming tablet formula since the Nubia Redmagic Nova.
The most striking is that the display has become smaller, but also better. It is now an OLED display of 9.06 inch with a resolution of 2.4K and a refresh rate of 165Hz. The Nubia Redmagic Nova came with a 10.9-inch inch 144Hz LCD. The highest brightness level has also doubled from 550 Nits to 1,100 Nits in the new tablet.
Given that the Nintendo Switch 2 has had some criticism to drop OLED from the package, it is an interesting recording.

Redmagic Astra Gaming Tablet Specs
This new, more compact gaming tablet (the Bezels are uniform and only 4.9 mm thick) also contains a performance -upgrade, which is performed on the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Processor. This does not seem to be the same overclocked leading version that we have seen in the Redmagic 10S Pro, which is a shame, but it is still a generation upgrade on the Nubia Redmagic Nova with its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 -chip.
However, you will receive the Redcore R3 Pro chip, with which many titles can be scaled up and with 2K resolution are performed with 120Hz renewal speeds.
An ICE-X cooling system, complete with cooling of the vapor, the thermal connections for liquid metals and a special fan, promises to keep things cold about extensive gaming sessions.
Nubia has packed it with 12 GB, 16 GB or 24 GB LPDDR5T RAM, and there is a choice of 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB UFS 4.1 Pro storage.
A large 8,200 mAh battery feeds it all and there is support for 80W charging.

Redmagic Astra Gaming -Tablet design and extras
You get the characteristic Redmagic style of Nubia, with a solid aluminum body and a semi-transparent flat back. And yes, there is also RGB lighting here.
Interestingly, Redmagic has pre-loaded a PC emulator that apparently can perform Triple-A titles such as Tomb Raider at full frame rates. By using the upcoming Redmagic Shadow Blade GamePad 3 (complete with robust analogue Hall effect analogue sticks-like that the Switch 2 also omits), you could have a good portable gaming setup.
Even if you do not buy the entire comparison angle of Switch 2 (it is a piece, we admit), this can be an interesting alternative to the Handheld Gaming -PC market. Then look out of Steam Deck?
The Redmagic Tablet 3 Pro is now available in China and will go its way to the west as the Redmagic Astra -Gaming tablet from 1. Stay informed for more information about Western prices and availability.
