The REDMAGIC Nova: The Best Gaming Tablet? A Droid Gamers Review

Droid Gamers has reviewed numerous REDMAGIC devices, most notably the REDMAGIC 9 Pro. Having declared that the 9 Pro the "best gaming mobile around," we now confidently proclaim the Nova as the best gaming tablet available. Here's why, in five key areas:

Design and Build

The Nova's design clearly demonstrates meticulous attention to detail, specifically catering to gamers. It strikes a perfect balance: neither too light and flimsy, nor overly heavy and cumbersome for extended use.

Its futuristic aesthetic, featuring a semi-transparent rear panel spanning its width, is enhanced by an RGB-illuminated REDMAGIC logo and an RGB fan. During our testing, the Nova withstood minor impacts without sustaining any damage, showcasing its robust build quality alongside its stylish design.

Exceptional Performance

While not possessing truly unlimited power, the Nova's internal components make it a powerhouse in the tablet gaming arena.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen. 3 processor, combined with DTS-X audio and a quad-speaker system, ensures smooth gameplay across virtually all titles.

Impressive Battery Life

Despite its powerful processor, the Nova's battery life exceeded expectations, providing approximately 8-10 hours of continuous gaming on a single charge. While some battery drain occurs even in standby mode, even graphically demanding games posed minimal challenges to its power reserves.

Superior Gaming Experience

We tested numerous games on the Nova, experiencing no lag or slowdown. The touchscreen exhibited exceptional responsiveness, and the web connection proved consistently fast for app downloads and server connections.

The Nova handled all game types – from casual to hardcore – with ease. However, its true strength shines in competitive online gaming. The larger, sharper screen and responsive touchscreen provided a clear advantage over smartphone users. Furthermore, the superior audio quality allowed for precise sound localization, a critical factor in action-packed games.

Gamer-Centric Features

The Nova incorporates several features that give a significant competitive edge. Accessible via side screen swipes, these include overclocked performance modes, notification blocking, network prioritization, quick messaging, and brightness locking. Additionally, the ability to resize the game screen and even program automated actions provides further advantages (though we exercised restraint in utilizing these features).

Final Verdict:

Simply put, yes. For tablet gamers, the REDMAGIC Nova is unparalleled. While minor drawbacks exist, they are insignificant compared to its impressive features and performance. Find it on the REDMAGIC website [link removed].
