Overview

  • RedMagic unveiled the Gaming Tablet 5 Pro in China on Tuesday and confirmed the device will be sold internationally as the RedMagic Astra 2 with a global launch set for July 17.
  • The tablet pairs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with RedMagic’s RedCore R4 co‑processor and is offered with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 Pro storage.
  • It uses a 9.06‑inch 2.4K OLED display that can run up to 185Hz, a Synaptics S3930 touch controller for faster input, and an 8,300mAh battery in the China model.
  • To sustain high performance the device features an active liquid‑cooling system driven by an ultra‑thin micro pump and a secondary chip that offloads rendering and touch tasks.
  • RedMagic confirmed China variants and pricing starting at CNY 4,999 and said some features may differ for the Astra 2, so buyers should watch the July 17 global announcement for regional charging speeds, final pricing and configuration details.
