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 around"). Unsurprisingly, we're now declaring the Nova the best gaming tablet available. Here's why, in five key points:
Exceptional Design and Build
The Nova's design clearly reflects meticulous craftsmanship and gamer-centric focus. It strikes a perfect balance – neither too light and flimsy, nor overly heavy and cumbersome.
Its futuristic aesthetic, highlighted by a semi-transparent rear panel, RGB-illuminated REDMAGIC logo, and an RGB fan, is undeniably striking. Durability is equally impressive; our review unit 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 a four-speaker setup with DTS-X audio deliver a seamless gaming experience, effortlessly handling even the most demanding titles.
Impressive Battery Life
Despite its powerful processor, the Nova boasts above-average battery life, providing approximately 8-10 hours of gameplay on a single charge. While some standby drain was observed, even graphically intensive games posed minimal battery challenges.
Superior Gaming Performance
We tested numerous games on the Nova, experiencing zero lag or slowdown. The touchscreen responsiveness was excellent across all titles, and web connectivity was consistently fast for app downloads and server connections.
The Nova excelled with competitive online games, providing a clear advantage over smartphone users thanks to its larger, sharper display and superior audio. The enhanced sound quality proved especially beneficial in action-packed games.
Gamer-Focused Features
The Nova includes several game-enhancing features accessed via side screen swipes: overclocking modes, notification blocking, network prioritization, quick messaging, and brightness locking. Additionally, the ability to resize game screens and even set up automated actions provides a significant competitive edge (though we admit to minimal use of these features).
The Verdict?
Absolutely worth it. For tablet gamers, the REDMAGIC Nova is unmatched. Minor shortcomings are easily overshadowed by its powerful features and performance. Find it on the REDMAGIC website [link removed as per instructions].
A must-have gaming tablet. Highly recommended.
