As expected, Nubia revealed a new member of its Red Magic lineup, the Nova. Unlike the previous entries in the family, this is a tablet that wants to replace your laptop for gaming activities on the go.

Surprisingly, when it comes to size, there’s just one version of the Red Magic Nova available in China, not two as previous rumors claimed. The Chinese customers are getting the 10.9-inch model that’s powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Leading Version processor.

According to Nubia, the Red Magic Nova achieved an AnTuTu score of 2,352,902, one of the highest in the benchmark’s database. The 10.9-inch 2.8K display features 144Hz refresh rate and instant sampling rate of 840Hz.

To keep the tablet cool during long gaming sessions, Nubia added a 20,000 RPM internal fan, a 3D heat pipe, and 3D internal circulation air ducts. Additionally, the slate’s design features a 29,400mm under-screen dissipation alloy, 9,268 superconducting copper foil, 89,114m integrated aviation aluminum body, and thermal conductive gel.
