Red Magic is officially leaning into the long-name trend. According to fresh leaks on Weibo, the company’s upcoming gaming tablet will go by the name Red Magic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro. Rolls off the tongue, right? While the name may be clunky, the intent behind it is crystal clear: this is a no-compromise device, built to go head-to-head with Lenovo’s Legion Y700 (Gen 4) and whatever Redmi is cooking up next.
A Successor with More Firepower?
Details are still emerging, but this new tablet is expected to follow the Red Magic Gaming Tablet Pro, which launched last September in China with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version. This time, Red Magic appears to be stepping it up.
Reports suggest the 3 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Version—the same chip used in the newly launched Red Magic 10S Pro and 10S Pro+ smartphones. If true, it would position the tablet at the absolute top end of the Android performance spectrum.
But it’s not just about silicon. Performance gains are only meaningful if the device can keep cool under pressure, and Red Magic knows it. There’s speculation the tablet will pack an active cooling system—yes, a built-in fan—to prevent thermal throttling during long gaming sessions. That’s aggressive, sure, but also necessary if you’re aiming for consistent frame rates.
Display and Battery: High Spec, Tight Package
Rumors point to a 9-inch custom OLED panel with a 2400 x 1504 resolution. That’s slightly smaller than some rivals but potentially sharper, more color-accurate. Powering it all? An 8,240mAh battery. Not huge by tablet standards, but likely chosen to balance weight and thermal capacity.
There’s still a lot we don’t know—refresh rate, port configuration, storage tiers—but that’s typical for Red Magic. Specs tend to drop closer to launch, sometimes just days before.
What’s also interesting is the competitive context. Redmi is reportedly prepping an 8.8-inch tablet with a 165Hz display and Dimensity 9400 Plus chip, aimed at the same segment. So we’re not just looking at one gaming tablet war, but possibly a full-blown arms race.
Whether Red Magic can maintain its performance edge will come down to execution. The name may be a mouthful, but if the internals deliver, gamers probably won’t care.
