Red Magic Astra Gaming Tablet Specs and Features

A Display That’s Built for Gamers

At the heart of the Red Magic Astra is a 9.06-inch OLED display that sets a new benchmark in gaming visuals. With a 2400×1504 resolution, ultra-fluid 165Hz refresh rate, and 1600 nits of peak brightness, the screen is nothing short of spectacular. The 4.9mm slim bezels provide a 90.1% screen-to-body ratio, immersing you completely in the action.

The display also prioritizes eye comfort with 5280Hz PWM dimming, TÜV Rheinland low blue light certification, and flicker-free visuals—ideal for long sessions whether you're gaming, streaming, or multitasking.

Flagship Power: Snapdragon 8 Elite + Red Core R3 Pro

Powering the Red Magic Astra is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, built on TSMC’s advanced second-generation 3nm process. This flagship chipset ensures incredible performance and efficiency.

Backing it up is the Red Core R3 Pro co-processor, which handles:

• Frame rate stability
• AI-powered gaming enhancements
• Super-resolution rendering

Together, they deliver buttery-smooth performance for the most demanding games and apps.

Insane Memory and Storage Options

For gamers who push hardware to its limits, the Astra doesn't hold back:

• LPDDR5T RAM up to 24GB, clocked at 9600Mbps
• UFS 4.1 Pro storage options up to 1TB

This means lightning-fast load times, seamless multitasking, and future-proof performance.

Gamer-Centric Software with Redmagic OS 10.5

Running Redmagic OS 10.5 based on Android 15, the Astra is fine-tuned for gaming and productivity. Notable software features include:

• Cube Game Engine for thermal, power, and frame rate management
• PC Emulator Support for playing desktop titles
• Magic Companion 2.0 AI Assistant
• Super Workbench for split-screen and windowed multitasking

From gaming marathons to productivity workflows, Astra is ready to adapt.

Long-Lasting Battery with Smart Charging

The 8200mAh battery is built for endurance. It supports:

• 80W Fast Charging — 0 to 50% in just 22 minutes
• Bypass Charging — powers the device directly during long play sessions, keeping temperatures cool and battery wear minimal

You’ll spend more time in the game and less time tethered to a wall socket.

Immersive Audio and Haptics

The Astra isn’t just about visuals and speed—it sounds great too. It features:

• Dual symmetrical 1620 super-linear speakers
• DTS:X Ultra support for spatial, cinema-quality sound
• Dual X-axis linear motors for responsive haptic feedback during gameplay

Whether it’s a first-person shooter or a cinematic RPG, the sensory experience is next level.

Ultra-Responsive Touch & Secure Access

Touch response is critical for competitive gaming, and the Red Magic Astra delivers with:

• Synaptics S3930 controller
• 2000Hz touch sampling rate — translating to lightning-fast inputs

It also includes a fingerprint sensor embedded in the power button, offering quick and secure unlocking.

Cameras: Basic, But Practical

Though not camera-focused, the Red Magic Astra includes:

• 13MP Rear Camera — great for document scanning or casual photos
• 8MP Front Camera — optimized for video calls, livestreaming, and content creation

They're not the stars of the show, but they’re more than capable for typical tablet use cases.
