REDMAGIC Astra 2 prepares global launch

REDMAGIC Astra 2 is preparing for its global launch on July 17, and the spec sheet is clearly trying to bully ordinary tablets. The compact gaming tablet is expected to bring a 9.06-inch 2.4K OLED display, up to 185Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, RedCore gaming silicon, visible cooling and an 8,300mAh battery. In plain language: it wants to be the small Android tablet that says yes to shooters, MOBAs, racing games and emulation without turning into a pocket furnace.

The compact size could be the magic ingredient. Big enough to feel premium, small enough to actually hold. Price will decide whether it is exciting or expensive theatre.
