The REDMAGIC Nova: The Best Gaming Tablet? A Droid Gamers Review
Droid Gamers has reviewed numerous REDMAGIC devices, most notably the REDMAGIC 9 Pro, which we hailed as the "best gaming mobile around." Unsurprisingly, we're declaring the Nova the best gaming tablet currently available. Here's why, in five key points:
Exceptional Design and Build
The Nova exudes quality and gamer-centric design. Its weight is perfectly balanced, comfortable for extended play sessions. The futuristic aesthetic, featuring a semi-transparent rear panel, RGB-illuminated REDMAGIC logo, and an RGB fan, is undeniably striking. Furthermore, its robust construction easily withstands minor bumps and scratches.
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, ensures smooth, lag-free gameplay across a wide range of titles.
Impressive Battery Life
Despite its powerful processor, the Nova boasts above-average battery life, providing approximately 8-10 hours of gaming on a single charge. While some standby drain is noticeable, even graphically demanding games didn't significantly impact battery performance.
Superior Gaming Experience
We tested numerous games on the Nova, experiencing no slowdown or lag. The touchscreen's responsiveness was consistently excellent, and the web connection speed was impressive for app downloads and online gameplay. The Nova excelled with competitive online games, offering a clear advantage over smartphone gaming due to its larger, sharper display and superior audio. The enhanced sound clarity proved invaluable in action-packed games.
Gamer-Focused Features
The Nova includes several game-enhancing features, accessible via side swipes. These include overclocking modes, notification blocking, network prioritization, quick messaging, and brightness locking. Additionally, the ability to resize the game screen and even set up automated actions provides a significant competitive edge (though we mostly refrained from exploiting this advantage).
The Verdict:
Simply put, yes. For tablet gaming enthusiasts, the REDMAGIC Nova is unparalleled. Minor drawbacks are overshadowed by its impressive features and raw power. Find it on the REDMAGIC website here.
