China OEM began to mock A new gaming tablet appears on Weibo this week (via Android Headlines). Redmagic’s teaser is quite light; but the carbon fiber (see?) robot he’s showing is a tablet in the hand. It’s always hard to tell from images like this, but outside of the render, the device looks pretty compact.
Redmagic’s text says the Gaming Tablet 5 Pro is “coming soon.” Here’s what all users can get from Redmagic’s MWC 2026 teaser. That and the company telling users to “stay rooted” for more updates. We’re not quite sure when the device can start, but more on that in a moment. The publication offered some theories as the Gaming Tablet 5 Pro could feature Qualcomm’s features. Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC.
To stay “compact,” there’s a chance Redmagic will keep this tablet in the nine-to-10-inch range, just like the previous two generations.
The next generation of gaming is on the way
In terms of duration, we can be check out this next Redmagic tablet summer release. Let’s see Return to Redmagic Astrathe tablet debuted in China in June, before global regions got their hands on it a month later. If the company is teasing the model now (we’re in March), we might be looking at a similar timeline. Redmagic can always throw us a curveball and let it go sooner (here’s hoping).
Redmagic Astra debuted with a 9.06-inch OLED display for $499. Its base model started at 12GB, but its internal storage can go up to 1TB (also $849). The design stuck closely to the brand’s gaming phones, with cool LED lights on the back panel and the sleek design you’d expect from a gaming PC. At 165Hz, the Astra remained smooth during gameplay. The Nova gaming tablet debuted a year ago with a 10.9-inch display, so Redmagic has gone back and made things even more compact.
Android Central’s Take
Redmagic produces quite powerful gaming-centric devices. From phones to tablets, these models truly understand what’s needed for a smooth, powerful mobile gaming experience. These are the phones and tablets that often make me consider switching. Redmagic often relies on Qualcomm’s powerful silicon to carry its games that run well. Moreover, the costs are quite reasonable in the end. We’ll have to wait and see if this continues with the next iteration.
