In this article, we will discuss the features and recent launch information of both devices, including the updates received from X.
RedMagic Gaming Tablet (RedMagic Nova)
RedMagic has recently launched its new gaming tablet, RedMagic Nova, in the global market. Apart from this, the company is going to launch another new gaming tablet in China on June 11, 2025, whose model name has not been revealed yet. This tablet is considered to be the main rival of Lenovo Legion Y700 (2025).
This RedMagic tablet has a 9-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1504 pixels. It is slightly larger than the 8.8-inch display of the Lenovo Legion Y700, but there is a slight decrease in pixel density. For processing, it uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which was also seen in the RedMagic 10 Pro smartphone. This processor is quite suitable for high-end gaming.
The RedMagic Nova has a large 8,240mAh battery, which is more capable than Lenovo’s 6,550mAh battery. It also has a built-in cooling fan to keep the device cool during gaming. Talking about the design, the tablet has very thin and uniform bezels, which further improve its premium look.
RedMagic’s new tablet will be launched in China on June 11, 2025. At the same time, RedMagic Nova has already been launched in the global market, and it is estimated that the new tablet will also hit the international market soon.
