To achieve an immersive gaming experience, it is essential to guarantee a stable frame rate. To achieve this, an internal 20,000 rpm fan has been integrated that maximizes cooling. The device consists of a 9-layer system, composed of an internal fan, a 3D heat pipe and an internal circulation air duct, together with a thermal dissipation alloy, superconducting graphene, superconducting copper foil, thermally conductive gel, the motherboard’s copper Foil and an aviation aluminum body.
This cooling system is capable of reducing the core temperature by approximately 25℃. A significant drop in temperature which improves overall performance during intense gaming sessions.
battery performance
Nova integrates a 10,100mAh capacity battery, which allows up to 10 hours of play and up to 18.7 hours of daily use. With 80W fast charging, it delivers a consistent gaming experience even in intense sessions.
screen features
The panel is 10.9 inches with a resolution of 2.8K (2880 x 1800), a refresh rate of 144 Hz and a touch sampling of 840 Hz that guarantees a fluid gaming experience. Aspect ratio is 16:9
It is SGS certified, filtering blue light to reduce eye fatigue. It is perfect for playing, listening to audio and video, studying, working in the office and any use you want to give it.
futuristic design
RedMagic Nova has all the numbers to succeed in the market and provide user satisfaction, to which its futuristic design and the minimalist aesthetics that the sector loves will undoubtedly contribute.
The body has a metal appearance (aviation aluminum), a CNC carved center frame, a 45 degree anti-slip angle and an anodized rear cover that provides durability to the device.
Highlighting the back is a transparent element with lens-quality aluminosilicate glass, which provides exceptional transparency, resistance to wear and scratches, and shows off the internal systems of the device. This setup is paired with custom RGB lights including the brand logo and turbo fan for a stunning visual experience and a personal touch to the tablet.

Tools in use, evaluation
The RedMagic Nova is an excellent and very attractive gaming machine that meets the expectations of intensive gamers as well as standard users.
We’re looking at a 10.9-inch tablet with a 2880 x 1920 pixel resolution screen and a 144Hz refresh rate. The touch sampling rate is 840 Hz and the aspect ratio of 16:10 are aspects of great interest when highlighting its optimal performance.
It has an efficient cooling system that reduces the temperature of the SOC significantly. In this scenario, having adequate cooling and an internal air circulation duct with an internal fan, a heat dissipation alloy under the screen, and a superconducting copper sheet causes minimal damage to the processor. These elements combined with the aluminum body provide strength and an optimal gaming experience.
It works quietly even when maximum pressure is applied. A maximum that is well maintained thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Edition, a powerful chip that reaches a frequency of 3.4 GHz, while the GPU can run at 1 GHz.
For programmers: customize and extend the Neovim development environmentRegarding the multimedia and gaming experience, it is also important to mention that it offers a good experience due to the integration of four speakers and a huge linear vibration motor.
