RedMagic NOVA Tablet Turns Into POWERFUL Gaming Rig with Console Mode!

[@sadatrashid7438]

I think what the community wants to see is how an 8 Gen 3 tablet with a built in fan performs windows emulation of RPCS3, Cemu or Xenia. PS2 and GameCube has been running flawlessly on Android since 2021.

[@RefOnTop]

forget abt rpcs3 and xenia thatll take another 5 years for android, cemu is possible but very early and unoptimized

[@sadatrashid7438]

@RefOnTop I believe Taki Udon showcased PS3 emulation sometime ago on 8 Gen 3. You'll understand how powerful an 8 Gen-3 laptop should be for this

[@semplew]

At this rate, you're better off just streaming a gaming PC to a cheap tablet. I have a three year old Lenovo P11 Plus and it still keeps me going. Can play all the latest PC games and throw every emulator at it. Think of your tablet as a thin client. Just need a nice screen and maybe some Dolby Atmos to keep you going.

[@DennisGr]

that development won't happen because the " asus rog ally" class of handhelds now exist. they run windows natively for anyobody that fancies that. price is the same as for the low end version of this tablet.

[@pfortunato78]

Excellent review. And do I spy a Nocticron lens in the corner? A beauty of a lens. My big issue currently with tablet/mobile gaming is that, as the Fortnite preview clearly shows, the game does not offer higher res textures or polys at all. They look terrible. Its one of the reasons I can't play Wuthering Waves on mobile devices, because they basically limit texture quality AND polygon resolution in mobile regardless of what mobile device you have and there are no options to attempt to find that balance between visual quality and acceptable framerates. This isn't too much of an issue when played on a phone, but on a tablet or docked to a TV/monitor, you can really see how bad it is. Basically, mobile gaming isn't quite there yet. Its getting close, and in a few more generations to bake, it will be more than good enough for most enthusiasts on down. But as it is, the Steam Deck still looks to be the best overall small gaming platform that doesn't lock you into low res polys and textures if you don't want to. Sure, it needs a refresh on the hardware, but games still look better on the Steam Deck (even docked to a TV) than they do on this RedMagic NOVA simply because the Deck is running the real versions of these games. Not the versions that are heavily paired down graphically for mobile.

[@Spawn-f4e]

Can you show us some emulation on this and i mean winlator like u did with the s24 ultra u showed us fallout 4 can we see that and more with diablo activated to see how much more fps you get

[@JTtheSG]

Nice! What about REDMAGIC's Smartcast Studio on PC?

[@arunkumar.k3406]

I think it's time for the brands to allow dual boot windows on ARM for these tablets.

[@gdjaybee742]

The website seems to only offer 512GB internal storage. Do you remember if this has an SD/micro SD card slot for expansion? I like to bring all my ROMS with me and lots of movies without using the internet, and comic books, and am photographer hobbyist, so I really need that extra storage on the go.

[@uradeutsch]

does it output 4K 120hz over HDMI?

[@ich5038]

@ETA PRIME you come at the right time with this video. Would you say that the graphics and resolution quality, especially in codm, is better than if you run codm with a redmagic 9Pro in console mode, for example? For me, that's one of the main reasons why I'm thinking about exchanging my redmagic 9Pro for the Nova 😅 maybe you can help me. Thanks in advance

[@mensuusxd]

Am I the only one who thinks is voice sounds like AI from 0:00 to 2:26? He probably made a mistake and fixed it with AI lol. You can even hear some wierd artifact where it just cut off his voice at 5:28. And from 6:15 and on you can really hear the AI struggling with his voice, it just sounds so unatural.

[@area50aqua]

How do you get that Fortnite looks so great. When I connect my nova to a monitor via USB the games looks like an old 8bit game.

Did ETA mention which RAM option he was testing? Didn't seem to catch it.

[@giovanni2910]

I assume it's 24gb when he mentions it's the top of the line version. But realistically you don't need that much ram, 16 would be more than enough for all of this.

[@Zeko019]

Hi ETA, do you know if it is possible to play with keyboard and mouse with this tablet? Like redmagic 9pro or 9s? As I know the 9pro and 9s allow you to map the keys in the screen from the game center.
