The popular gaming hardware manufacturer, RedMagic, is rumored to be releasing a new gaming tablet. According to a post by known leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the new tablet is expected to feature a nine-inch OLED display with a high refresh rate. The potential launch window is suggested to be as early as this month, and “June at the latest” if a May release doesn’t materialize.
RedMagic’s previous gaming tablet, the RedMagic Nova, launched in late 2024. While it received positive reviews, it featured an LCD screen. This new iteration is rumored to boast an OLED display and be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 chipset. Details beyond these core specifications are scarce, but comparisons with the Nova offer some potential insights.
The RedMagic Nova had a 10.9-inch display and a substantial 10,100mAh battery. It’s possible the new tablet will have a slightly smaller battery. However, if RedMagic incorporates a silicon-carbide battery instead of lithium-ion, the capacity could remain similar or even increase. The Nova also had a 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Digital Chat Station’s mention of a “custom” display suggests that the new tablet might exceed even these impressive specifications.

It’s important to note that the rumored launch date likely pertains to the Chinese market. While RedMagic has a history of releasing products internationally, it’s not guaranteed that this new tablet will see a global release, especially in the United States. Although RedMagic maintains US-based warehouses, ongoing trade tensions could impact availability and pricing.
Ultimately, this information is based on leaks and speculation. There’s no official confirmation from RedMagic regarding the existence or specifications of a new gaming tablet. It’s advisable to treat this news cautiously until an official announcement is made.
