REDMAGIC Nova: The Ultimate Gaming Tablet? Droid Gamers' Verdict!
We've reviewed many REDMAGIC devices, most notably the REDMAGIC 9 Pro (which we dubbed the "best gaming mobile around"). Unsurprisingly, we're now declaring the Nova the best gaming tablet available. Here's why, in five key points:
Premium Design and Build
The Nova feels meticulously crafted, specifically for gamers. It strikes the perfect balance: sturdy enough to withstand bumps and drops yet comfortable for extended play sessions. Its futuristic design, featuring a semi-transparent rear panel, RGB-illuminated REDMAGIC logo, and an RGB fan, is undeniably striking. Our testing proved its durability; it survived several knocks without a scratch.
Unrivaled Performance
While not truly "unlimited," the Nova's power is exceptional. The Snapdragon 8 Gen. 3 processor, coupled with DTS-X audio and a quad-speaker setup, delivers a seamless gaming experience. Even the most demanding titles run smoothly.
Exceptional Battery Life
Despite its powerful processor, the Nova boasts impressive battery life, providing approximately 8-10 hours of gameplay on a single charge. While some standby drain was observed, it didn't significantly impact overall usage, even with graphically intensive games.
Optimized for Gaming
We tested numerous games—casual and hardcore—and encountered no lag or slowdown. The touchscreen was highly responsive, and the network connection was consistently fast. The Nova truly shines in competitive online games. The larger, sharper screen and superior audio provided a significant advantage over smartphone-based gameplay.
Gamer-centric Features
The Nova includes several game-enhancing features, accessible via side screen swipes: overclocking modes, notification blocking, network prioritization, quick messaging, and brightness locking. Additionally, the ability to resize the game screen and even set up automated actions adds a strategic edge (though we admit we didn't overuse these features).
The Verdict?
Absolutely worth it. For tablet gamers, the REDMAGIC Nova is unparalleled. Minor drawbacks are overshadowed by its exceptional power, features, and overall gaming experience. Find it on the REDMAGIC website [link removed].
