Droid Gamers has reviewed several REDMAGIC devices, most notably the REDMAGIC 9 Pro, which we lauded as the "best gaming mobile around." Unsurprisingly, we're now declaring the REDMAGIC Nova the best gaming tablet available.
Five compelling reasons solidify this claim:
Exceptional Design and Build
The Nova's design clearly demonstrates meticulous craftsmanship and gamer-centric attention to detail. Its build is neither flimsy nor overly cumbersome, striking a perfect balance. The futuristic aesthetic, featuring a semi-transparent rear panel with an RGB-illuminated REDMAGIC logo and an RGB fan, is undeniably impressive. Furthermore, it proved remarkably durable during our testing, weathering several minor impacts without damage.
Unmatched Performance
While not truly "unlimited," the Nova's power is undeniable. Powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen. 3 processor and a four-speaker DTS-X audio system, it effortlessly handles virtually any game.
Impressive Battery Life
Despite its powerful processor, the Nova's battery life exceeded expectations, delivering approximately 8-10 hours of gameplay on a single charge. While some standby drain was observed, even graphically demanding titles posed minimal battery challenges.
Superior Gaming Experience
Extensive gameplay testing revealed no lag or slowdown across various titles. The responsive touchscreen and fast web connection further enhanced the experience. The Nova excelled with competitive online games, providing a clear advantage over smartphone-based opponents thanks to its larger, crisper display, superior touchscreen responsiveness, and immersive audio.
Gamer-Focused Features
The Nova incorporates several advantageous features, accessible via side swipes. These include overclocking modes, notification blocking, network prioritization, quick messaging, brightness locking, and game screen resizing capabilities, along with customizable automatic action triggers.
Final Verdict:
The REDMAGIC Nova is a highly recommended gaming tablet. While minor flaws exist, they are insignificant compared to its exceptional features and performance. Visit the REDMAGIC website for purchasing information.
