RedMagic appears to be preparing a significant upgrade in the compact gaming tablet segment, with new leaks suggesting its upcoming device could feature one of the fastest and most advanced displays yet seen in the category.
According to information shared by industry tipsters, the rumored Gaming Tablet 5 Pro may come equipped with a 9-inch OLED screen boasting a 185Hz refresh rate. If confirmed, this would represent a notable leap from the 165Hz display used in the previous generation and could place the device ahead of key competitors in terms of visual performance.
The move to OLED is expected to be just as important as the refresh rate increase. Compared to LCD panels, OLED technology delivers deeper blacks, improved contrast, and more vivid colors, all of which are particularly valuable for immersive gaming experiences. Rival devices such as Lenovo Legion Tablet continue to rely on high-refresh LCD screens, making RedMagic’s potential shift a strategic differentiator.
Performance is also expected to be a central focus. The tablet is rumored to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with enhanced cooling technology designed to maintain stable performance during extended gaming sessions. Thermal management has long been a defining feature of RedMagic devices, and further improvements in this area could strengthen its appeal among demanding users.
Additional specifications reportedly include configurations of up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage, positioning the tablet as a high-end option for power users. The device is also expected to include an 8300mAh battery, which, while slightly smaller than some competitors on paper, may benefit from the efficiency advantages of OLED technology in real-world usage.
While pricing has not yet been confirmed, comparisons are already being drawn. Competing tablets like Lenovo’s Legion model launched in China at around CNY 3999, giving RedMagic a benchmark as it looks to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
The new tablet is rumored to debut in May 2026, likely first in China before expanding globally. There is also speculation that it could be unveiled alongside the next generation of RedMagic gaming smartphones, suggesting a broader refresh of the brand’s ecosystem.
Although official details remain limited, the prospect of a 185Hz OLED display alone is enough to generate attention. If the leaks prove accurate, RedMagic’s next tablet could set a new standard for mobile gaming hardware.
