The REDMAGIC Nova: The Best Gaming Tablet Around? Droid Gamers' Verdict!
We've reviewed numerous REDMAGIC devices, most notably the REDMAGIC 9 Pro (which we dubbed the "best gaming mobile"). Unsurprisingly, we're now declaring the Nova the top gaming tablet. Here's why, in five key points:
Exceptional Design and Build
The Nova feels meticulously crafted for gamers. It strikes the perfect balance – neither too light nor overly cumbersome. Its futuristic design, featuring a semi-transparent rear panel, RGB-illuminated REDMAGIC logo, and an RGB fan, is visually stunning. Durability is also a standout; it withstood several minor impacts without damage.
Unmatched Power
While not truly "unlimited," the Nova's power is exceptional. The Snapdragon 8 Gen. 3 processor and DTS-X audio with a quad-speaker system ensure smooth, lag-free gameplay across virtually all titles.
Impressive Battery Life
Despite its powerful processor, the Nova delivers above-average battery life, providing approximately 8-10 hours of gaming on a single charge. While some standby drain exists, even graphically demanding games posed minimal battery challenges.
Superior Gaming Experience
Extensive testing revealed no slowdown or lag across various games. The touchscreen responsiveness was excellent, and the web connection speed was consistently fast. The Nova excelled in competitive online games, offering a clear advantage thanks to its larger, sharper display, responsive touchscreen, and superior audio. The enhanced sound allowed for precise audio cues in action-packed scenarios.
Gamer-Centric Features
The Nova includes game-enhancing features accessed via side screen swipes: overclocking modes, notification blocking, network prioritization, quick messaging, and brightness locking. Furthermore, screen resizing and automated action triggers provide a potential (though arguably unfair) competitive edge.
The Verdict?
Absolutely worth it. The REDMAGIC Nova is currently the best gaming tablet available. Minor drawbacks are insignificant compared to its power, features, and overall performance. Find it on the REDMAGIC website [link].
