REDMAGIC has announced the global launch of the Astra 2 gaming tablet, a high-end device featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and a proprietary RedCore R4 gaming chip. The hardware includes a 9.06-inch 2.4K OLED display with a 185Hz refresh rate and the AquaCore 2.0 liquid-cooling system. Following the initial product details, the company introduced an early bird promotion running from August 10 to August 25, 2026. This promotion allows customers to purchase a $1 voucher for $30 in discounts, an 80W fast charger, and an exclusive keychain, while also providing 24-hour early access before official global sales begin on August 26, 2026. Technical specifications highlight that the RedCore R4 chip is designed to manage in-game effects and 2K super-resolution. The display offers up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness and a 90.1% screen-to-body ratio. To manage heat, the AquaCore 2.0 system utilizes liquid cooling technology with fluorinated coolant and Liquid Metal 3.0.

The Malaysian model features an 8,300mAh battery with 75W fast charging support, dual USB-C ports, and a Synaptics S3930 chip for high-speed touch sampling.
