REDMAGIC has officially confirmed that its next gaming tablet — expected to be called the REDMAGIC Gaming Tablet 5 Pro — will launch in China sometime in June 2026. The company teased the device during its recent REDMAGIC 11S Pro+ launch event.
While the exact launch date has not yet been announced, multiple reports suggest the tablet is now very close to release after clearing Chinese 3C certification.
Successor to the REDMAGIC Astra
The new Gaming Tablet 5 Pro will succeed last year’s Gaming Tablet 3 Pro, which launched globally as the REDMAGIC Astra gaming tablet. REDMAGIC is reportedly skipping the number “4” due to tetraphobia, a common practice among Chinese brands.
Global availability is also expected later, possibly under a different name like “Astra 2.” Reports suggest the international release could happen around July or August 2026.
Expected Specifications
Leaks and teasers point toward flagship-level gaming hardware designed to compete directly with Lenovo’s Legion gaming tablets. Expected specifications include:
- 9-inch OLED display
- Up to 185Hz or 200Hz refresh rate
- 2400×1504 resolution
- Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset
- Advanced liquid cooling system
- Up to 24GB RAM
- Up to 1TB storage
- Around 8,300mAh battery

The OLED panel is expected to be one of the major upgrades, offering better contrast and deeper blacks compared to LCD gaming tablets.

Cooling and Gaming Focus
