REDMAGIC Nova Review - A Must Have Tablet For Gamers?

REDMAGIC Nova: The Ultimate Gaming Tablet Experience

Droid Gamers has reviewed numerous REDMAGIC devices, most notably the REDMAGIC 9 Pro, which we hailed as the "best gaming mobile around." It's no surprise then, that we consider the Nova the undisputed champion in the gaming tablet arena. Here's why, in five key points:

Exceptional Design and Build

The Nova's design clearly demonstrates meticulous craftsmanship and gamer-centric focus. Its weight is perfectly balanced – neither too light nor too heavy for extended play sessions. The futuristic aesthetic, featuring a semi-transparent rear panel with an RGB-illuminated REDMAGIC logo and an RGB fan, is undeniably striking. Furthermore, its durability impressed us; it withstood several minor impacts without a scratch, combining style with robust protection.

Unmatched Power

While not truly "unlimited," the Nova's power is exceptional. The Snapdragon 8 Gen. 3 processor, coupled with DTS-X audio and a quad-speaker system, delivers a seamless gaming experience for virtually any title.

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 power drain is noticeable, even graphically demanding games posed minimal battery challenges.

Superior Gaming Performance

We tested numerous games on the Nova, experiencing zero lag or slowdown. The touchscreen responsiveness was exceptional across all titles, and the web connection was consistently fast for app downloads and server connections. The Nova excelled in competitive online gaming, offering a clear advantage over smartphone users thanks to its larger, sharper display, superior touchscreen responsiveness, and enhanced audio. The superior sound significantly improved our ability to pinpoint crucial audio cues in action-packed games.

Gamer-Focused Features

The Nova includes several game-enhancing features accessible via side screen swipes: overclocking modes, notification blocking, network prioritization, quick messaging, and brightness locking. Additionally, the ability to resize the game screen and even program automated actions provides a significant competitive edge (though we confess to minimal use of these advanced features).

The Verdict?

Simply put: yes. For tablet gaming enthusiasts, the REDMAGIC Nova is unparalleled. Minor shortcomings are easily overshadowed by its impressive power, features, and overall gaming experience. Find it on the REDMAGIC website here.
