Teased and Delayed, Now Finally Coming
RedMagic officially teased the Tablet 5 Pro back in April 2026, and while everyone expected it to launch alongside the 11S Pro series phones, the gaming tablet’s release got pushed back. Now, with a fresh announcement, the company has confirmed that the Chinese debut is finally right around the corner. They didn’t give much away at first, but now we have a solid date to look forward too.
Official Launch Date and Global Hopes
To be specific, this Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 gaming tablet is now set for a June 30, 2026 launch in China. RedMagic usually brings its products to global markets shortly after the Chinese debut, so the same could happen for this one. It’s still unclear what the tab will be called in international markets though, some are speculating it will be named “Astra 2,” but nothing is official yet.
Specs That Stand Out
While not much about this flagship tablet has been confirmed officially, previous reports have already leaked many core specifications. This Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 tab is expected to feature a 9.06-inch OLED display with a 185Hz refresh rate, which would be a huge advantage over the Lenovo Legion Tablet Gen 5. For reference, that Lenovo gaming tablet with the same chipset has an IPS display with a 165Hz refresh rate only.
- Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor
- 9.06-inch OLED display with 185Hz refresh rate
- Better than Lenovo Legion’s 165Hz IPS screen
Battery, Memory, and Cooling Details
Past reports have also hinted that the upcoming RedMagic tab will sport a battery larger than 8,300mAh, and it’s expected to feature up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. A cooling setup similar to the RedMagic 11S Pro series was also mentioned, alongside RGB lighting and three color options. There’s still no word on the price, but it’s worth noting that the Legion Tablet Gen 5 has seen quite a price jump over its predecessor currently $699.99 on Lenovo. The same could happen with RedMagic’s upcoming tablet according to some analysts.
What About Pricing
Pricing remains a mystery for now, but considering the Lenovo competitor is already at $699.99, RedMagic might have to price this competitive or even higher due to the better screen and larger battery. The company hasn’t said anything about global pricing yet, but we should get more details after the June 30 launch event. Past RedMagic tablets have been reasonably priced, so there is hope this one wont break the bank completely.
