The RedMagic Tablet 3 Pro is armed with a 9.06″ 165Hz OLED display, fan-cooled SD 8 Elite chip

RedMagic is changing course and leaving LCD behind for its latest gaming tablet. It also opted for a smaller form factor and brought the same performance hardware that powers the RedMagic 10S Pro.

The RedMagic Tablet 3 Pro launches in China at midnight and will be available for the global market from July 1 – but note that internationally the tablet will sell under the name RedMagic Astra.

The tablet has a 9.06” OLED display with 165Hz refresh rate. Peak brightness is 1,600 nits, while full-screen brightness reaches 1,100 nits. This is controlled via 5,280Hz high-frequency PWM.

The slate can actually make full use of that high refresh rate – Minecraft runs at 165fps, League of Legends: Wild Rift reaches 144Hz, while Call of Duty: Mobile, PUBG Mobile and Genshin Impact can do 120fps.

It’s not just Android games either, RedMagic has preloaded a PC emulator that can run AAA PC titles like Tomb Raider at 60fps. The company has also prepared several gaming accessories – from the Shadow Blade Gamepad 3 to the IceBlade Magnetic Keyboard, you can pick whichever suits your favorite games best. But more on that later.

The RedMagic Tablet 3 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite paired with 12GB/16GB/24GB of LPDDR5T RAM and 256GB/512GB/1TB of UFS 4.1 Pro storage. It’s not clear whether this is the Leading Version of the chip, by the way, as the product page doesn’t list any frequencies. We do know that the tablet employs the RedCore R3 Pro chip that upscales game graphics to 2K at up to 120fps.

And the glass panel on the back shows off the ICE-X Cooling system, complete with liquid metal, a large vapor chamber and a fan. The fan has RGB lighting and, more importantly, reduces chipset temperature by up to 8°C. According to RedMagic, anyway, our tests of the 10S Pro show limited benefits from the fan.

The Tablet 3 Pro runs on an 8,200mAh battery that promises up to 5.5 hours of gaming on a single charge (playing Honkai: Star Rail). With an 80W charger, it can go from flat to 50% charged in 20 minutes. The USB port is positioned higher up at the side to keep cables out of the way, if you want to game and charge.

That port is USB 3.2 Gen 2 and can drive external displays up to 8K at 60Hz, by the way. Dropping the resolution to 4K enables refresh rates up to 144Hz.

The tablet is CNC-machined from aerospace-grade aluminum. The 9.06” 16:10 display is surrounded by a uniform 4.9mm bezel. The back is aluminum, save for the glass panel that offers a peek at the cooling fan.

The RedMagic Tablet 3 Pro can be ordered in China tomorrow (unless you want to stay up – sales start at midnight). The base 12GB/256GB model is CNY 4,000 ($555). You can also get a 16GB/512GB model for CNY 4,700 ($655) or the fully decked out 24GB/1TB model for CNY 6,000 ($835). Note that only the Dawn Black Transparent version is available right now, there should be a Silverwing Transparent model too.

RedMagic Shadow Blade Gamepad 3 and PC game emulation

There are several accessories that can boost the gaming experience too. The RedMagic Shadow Blade Gamepad 3 has Hall-effect joysticks, a linear motor and a 6-axis gyroscope. It’s compatible with the Tablet 3 Pro but can also be used with the Nintendo Switch and gaming tablets under 9”. The Gamepad 3 costs CNY 600 ($85).

The RedMagic IceBlade Magnetic Keyboard has a CNC-machined aluminum alloy body and a very high polling rate – 8,000Hz for 0.1ms response time. This will cost you CNY 1,000 ($140).
