The Ultimate Gaming Tablet (2024) - REDMAGIC Nova

[@PhoneBuff]

Update: they now offer a magnetic keyboard and stylus.

[@theremeansjohn]

make a video with the stylus 🎉

[@thedarkangelpt]

Where ?i dont see it

[@chrisss.47]

Starting at $499… that’s crazy for this spec I’m a iPad user for over 10 years now , so im basically locked into the apple ecosystem, but if I use android I would definitely buy this , awesome machine

[@DeusEx.Machina]

It looks awesome, but what’s really the point of a $500 tablet that doesn’t have (or support) a stylus for note-taking/drawing, or a Keyboard Folio, or even a good OLED screen for entertainment ? Specs are not everything, use-cases are way more important actually. *EDIT* It actually has a stylus and a keyboard folio. However, there is no mention of either in the Tablet’s page.

[@chrisss.47]

@ bro I just visited their official site , it supports their stylus and magnetic keyboard case The 2.8k 144hz screen might not be top notch when it comes to color accuracy, but I’m sure it’s more than fine for gaming Of course tech isn’t all about specs , iPhone doesn’t have such high spec cameras as Samsungs , but it’s superior in videography. But hey , this tablet is 499 , I would love to give it a try if I have the chance

[@DeusEx.Machina]

@@chrisss.47 thank you so much for pointing that out. I actually looked it up and you’re right. Now, Hardware wise, it’s as close as possible to what I need. I’m tied up in Apple’s ecosystem like you, and will have to sit down and weigh the pros and cons of switching. I have so many iPad Pro accessories, on top of using “Hide My Email” on basically every website I visit. In the other hand, I can download all the torrents I want on Android and not have to be forced to use my computer.

[@AzureRT456]

Imagine paying a lot of money for a tablet that still doesn't have 120hz. I'm not a HRR guy, even if I sound like one. I can't tell the difference between 60 and 120 because I once used my phone on 60hz apparently. But at nearly $1000 (if you're trying to spec out your iPad) 120hz should AT least be present

[@chrisss.47]

@@AzureRT456 lol you’re right , I own iPhone 13 Pro and iPad Pro M1 , both have promotion 120hz , and I just can’t go back to 60hz anymore . I think iPad Air and iPhone 16 are great products , but 60hz is a dealbreaker for me

[@DeusEx.Machina]

I think Android OEMs fail miserably to get the average consumer. It seems like they haven’t even thought about a target audience for this device. Let me explain: -A mobile gamer is usually someone who CAN NOT afford a gaming console/PC, or someone who enjoys gaming on the go. -Someone who wants a tablet, probably wants something to takes notes for College, sketch as an artist, or have a bigger screen for entertainment. - If you drew a VENN Diagram of the two above, you’d need to add a good stylus, OLED screen, and a Magic Keyboard alternative. Then, I’ll definitely buy it. I’m looking to leave Apple’s ecosystem, and can live with Google’s intrusive ad-collection, but not on top of not being able to get my work done (which is taking a lot of notes and coding), and having a worse screen.

[@thez28camaroman]

Sounds like you're describing Samsung's Tab S lineup.

[@DeusEx.Machina]

@ To be fair, they make great hardware, but I was really turned off by their products long time ago because of the bloatware, and lack of long term support. On top of that, the first device I got from them was a fridge 😅.

[@sloppynyuszi]

@@DeusEx.MachinaI’m an Apple fanboy that dables in Android. Samsung software support has gotten better. They promise 7 years, but let’s wait for that to come to fruition. But you can get a 3 year old Samsung flagship that is on current software.

[@anagregs]

What are you waiting to see? The 7 years support is not going to change if that's what you're waiting for. The older models already have unannounced increased years of software updates. S21s will get one UI 7 making it 5 years of support for them. ​@@sloppynyuszi

He compared it to RedMagic's phones, not really other phones, just the manufacturers other products & even then, it was more less to show how the cooling fan & cooling system are done similarly, but also, differently between them. That was it. So the fact you didn't pay attention & catch that, when he didn't hide it, speaks more volumes!

[@JustinPennito]

But it does, there's already videos comparing this with the new iPad Mini 7 & this is leaps & bounds better.

[@Dara-ih6jq]

I guess it comes down to do you wanna buy a gaming tablet with amazing hardware but becomes out of date after two years but it’s only $500 or spend 1,000+ on an iPad that stays up-to-date for the foreseeable future. I suppose after two years when it’s stops getting updates you can always just get another gaming tablet since they’re only 500.🤔

[@sen2k]

Why is the tablet outdated just because it doesnt get updates after 2 years? You can still use it way beyond the 2 years no?

[@PhoneBuff]

[@rws91942]

That two years of security updates is almost morally reprehensible. Considering the hardware will last a lot longer than that. For gaming centric device, Android updates aren't super important but security patches still are.

[@makunouchiippo816]

Android updates are still important, even if you are a gamer. Just look at it this way: This device here is getting two OS updates. Means it will be stuck at android 16 or 17. Let's say you are still using this Tablet for a few years after these two OS updates are done. Then the playstore will tell you at some point that your OS is too old so you are not able to open certain apps anymore. So the Tablet will become obsolet.

[@rws91942]

@makunouchiippo816 It will take awhile after it stops getting Android updates before games no longer support that version of Android. However it will take significantly less time to be exposed to a security vulnerability. If they did two years of Android updates And at least 4 years of security patches, It would be a lot easier to recommend.

[@edwardlashley3572]

What are you gonna play with it? Android games or emulators? The V3 windows tablet can play Call of Duty 6 at 100+ fps. And I’m not talking about steaming. I’m talking about installing it natively on your hard drive & running it at 100 fps. There is no way an android tablet can ever be the best gaming tablet. I mean you can run a windows emulator on android devices, technically, but good luck with compatibility on that one. lool.

iPad have had 120Hz since 2017. Don't know what's "crazy" about 144Hz here... And I mean sure for $500 it's fine but not that much. In terms of performance. You can get an iPad Air M2 for $600 (or probably less actually) and that thing just smokes the 8G3 And tbh one of the main things I wanna see in a tablet is support for a Stylus. And this thing has nothing.

[@AzureRT456]

And what exactly are you gonna do with the power of an M2... You can't even utilise its full potential. The iPad Air still has 60hz, and when you're trying to spec it out (the 2024 iPad Air 255GB 13" costs almost a thousand and it's still not even 120hz) and it's like... No fucking thanks. Android tablets are simply better (and that includes the more normal and makes the most sense 16:10 ratio).

Who lied to you ? Where can you get M2 ipad Air for that money ? Lol 😂 Maybe second hand yes. But new you won't be able to get it that cheap. Also the 599$ ( in Europe costs around 600-700€ ) version has only 128GB of storage, while the redmagic noba has 256. Just to get the same storage you have to put another 100$ at least 🤦‍♂️ Also the M2 is not that much better from the 8G3.
