RedMagic is days away from launching its Gaming Tablet 5 Pro in China, and the company is already trying to build excitement. Ahead of the June 30 release, RedMagic has shared gaming performance figures for the device, giving potential buyers a look at what to expect from the hardware.
The numbers come directly from RedMagic, so they should be treated as marketing data rather than independent benchmarks. That said, they give a rough idea of where the tablet sits in terms of raw performance. A global launch is expected shortly after the China release.
According to the figures RedMagic published on Weibo, the tablet hit an average of 184 frames per second in CrossFire and 165 FPS in Delta Force. Both tests ran for 60 minutes with HD settings and high refresh rate turned on. The 1% lows, which indicate how smooth gameplay stays during tough moments, came in at 168 FPS and 157 FPS respectively. For a large-scale open-world title also tested, the tablet held a steady 60 FPS average with a 1% low of 59 FPS, which points to a very consistent experience in that type of game.
The tablet runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with RedMagic’s own Core R4 chipset. The company says that combination delivers extra performance optimizations on top of what the main processor already offers. This kind of dual-chip setup is becoming more common in dedicated gaming devices, where manufacturers want to squeeze out every possible frame without compromising thermal performance.
On the cooling side, the tablet uses a water cooling system combined with an active fan. That setup matters a lot in a gaming tablet, where sustained performance depends heavily on keeping temperatures under control during long sessions.
Other confirmed specs include:
- A 9.06-inch OLED display with a peak brightness of 1,600 nits
- A pre-installed PC game emulator with Steam support and a desktop mode
- Water cooling paired with an active cooling fan
- Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 plus Core R4 chipset
The PC emulator is a notable addition. RedMagic included a similar feature on the last-generation Astra tablet, and bringing it back here with Steam support suggests the company is serious about positioning this device as more than just a mobile gaming screen. Being able to run Steam games on a tablet, even through emulation, is a real differentiator in a market where most Android tablets are chasing productivity use cases.
The gaming tablet segment is getting more competitive. Lenovo’s Legion Tab Gen 5 is a direct rival, and Xiaomi has also been active in this space. RedMagic needs strong hardware numbers and a solid software story to stand out. The OLED display and the cooling system are clear selling points, but independent reviews after launch will be the real test of whether the performance figures hold up outside of controlled conditions.
