Nubia's first gaming tablet brings a 144Hz display, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

Alongside the highly anticipated Red Magic 8S Pro series of smartphones, Nubia recently announced its first tablet as well. The new Red Magic Gaming Tablet brings all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a premium tablet, so let’s get into its features, specifications, and expected price in Nepal.

Red Magic Gaming Tabet Overview:

Design and Display

Nubia Red Magic Gaming Tablet has a modern-looking boxy design like the latest iPad Pros. There's a rectangular camera island at the back while its power button on the side has an accented red highlight too. The tablet weighs 613 grams and measures 6.5mm at its thinnest point. Up front, Red Magic Gaming Tablet sports a 12.1-inch IPS panel with a 2.5K (2500 x 1600 pixels) resolution. It has a 144Hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling rate, and can reach a peak brightness of 600 nits. Moreover, the bezels surrounding the screen are slim and uniform — thus giving the tablet a pretty slim profile.
