REDMAGIC Astra 2 - 9.06" Gaming Tablet

The REDMAGIC Astra 2 Gaming Tablet is built as a compact Android gaming tablet that combines flagship processing power, a high-refresh OLED display, advanced thermal management, and a portable metal-and-glass design. Performance is driven by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor with Oryon™ CPU cores running at up to 4.6GHz, while the dedicated RedCore R4 gaming chip is used to optimize gameplay, resource management, responsiveness, and frame-rate stability. Up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.1 storage are provided for demanding mobile games, multitasking, and everyday applications.

Gameplay is displayed on a 9.06-inch 2.4K OLED screen with a resolution of 2400 × 1504 pixels and a refresh rate of up to 185Hz. A 300Hz average touch sampling rate and up to 2,000Hz instantaneous touch response are supported for precise controls, while brightness reaches up to 1,600 nits. Sustained performance is supported by the 12-layer AquaCore Cooling System 2.0, combining flowing liquid cooling, Liquid Metal 3.0, a large vapor chamber, graphene, copper foil, and other thermal components.

Long gaming sessions are powered by an 8,300mAh dual-cell battery, with up to 75W fast charging, dual USB-C ports, and bypass charging technology. Immersion is reinforced through DTS:X® Ultra 3D audio, dual 1227 stereo speakers, N'Bass acoustic enhancement materials, and dual X-axis linear motors with 4D haptic feedback. REDMAGIC OS 11.5 based on Android 16 is installed for gaming and everyday use, while Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, Bluetooth 6.0, external display support, and front and rear cameras expand the tablet beyond gaming.
