Redmagic Nova Gaming Tablet Review Mobile gaming is growing

The game requires a giant screen. Android supports giant screen devices, adding tablets. Gamers as much functionality as possible. Nubia merged those concepts to create the Redmagic Nova gaming tablet.

First of all, I must acknowledge that the Nova pill has Android at its heart. This has all the benefits of the Android ecosystem and unlocks a ridiculous amount of games. It also means you have media and streaming services, workplace apps, organization. tools and everything you need.

And you get a functionality merit if you want. The Nova tablet is designed for gaming, meaning it’s one of the fastest and most rugged Android tablets available, thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset; It’s also the mid-cycle “Leading” edition of the 8 Gen 3, which increases the clock speed to give it a little more oomph. Depending on the edition you get, you can have up to 16GB of RAM in the 512GB edition (a 256/12 edition is also available).

The daily use of the pill is also because it is suitable for playing; The display runs at 144Hz with a 2. 8K resolution, comes with a 10,100mAh battery and active cooling to keep the temperature low when charging.

There are some caveats to all of this. The first is that it is a Wi-Fi only device with no cellular option. It’s safe to assume you have a cell phone next to the Nova and can use a hotspot, but that means you’re tied to a two-device solution or relying on public infrastructure.

The other is the camera. While premium smartphones put a lot of emphasis on the camera, this is one of the spaces sacrificed by gaming smartphones and tablets. The Nova tablet’s camera is no slouch, but it doesn’t stand out either. That phone you bring as an access point? Use it for images.

If all this sounds like a bigger edition of the RedMagic 9S Po to you, I agree. And why not? If the form of hardware platform already optimized for gaming can gain advantages from a larger screen and advantageous form factor, let it pass.

The center of Redmagic’s gaming experience is Game Space. You can set it as the default home app or call it from the notification bar. I would recommend the former if you are Nova Gaming Tablet as a dedicated gaming machine. You can have direct access to your games and replace the tablet settings for each game.

As expected, this works incredibly well for smaller games. The recently released Balatro for Android is a wonderful example of this. This is a rogue-like deck building card game. It’s quite addictive and you don’t do much more than write letters and make decisions. Not all of the Nova’s excess internal strength is missing; There’s also no need for a quick screen refresh or higher touch sampling.

Yet the larger screen makes it a more accessible game to play when sitting down; the graphics are larger and crisper (especially to older eyes); and it works really well. Compared to playing on a smaller smartphone screen, it feels more comfortable.

Arcade-style games relying on touchscreen input are popular, but the sheer size of a tablet can make them awkward, depending on where the controls are.

This is highly dependent on smart developers allowing touch controls to be displayed on a larger screen. For many arcade games, this means that the two virtual joysticks are selected where the thumb is placed and not in the fast hot spots. This is a popular accepted in most games, but keep in mind that older titles may not be as compatible.

One thing I discovered when playing with the Nova tablet is the use of an external controller, in my case, the SN30 from 8BitDo. This eliminates the difficulty of needing fine motor control on the touchscreen to control everything you want in the game. game. Again, most popular games will have the option to use a controller. For those who don’t, you can use Game Space to assign a controller key to a part of the screen and mimic a tap or swipe.

Be aware that some popular online games can see this last option as a cheat mechanism and may not allow you to play with it activated.

I would like to highlight the other, almost essential, use of the Nova tablet: game streaming. Like many gamers, I purchased several games through the Steam store. Part of this store allows you to stream games from the host PC to a remote terminal. . . which, in this case, includes the Steam application for Android, Steam Link. With this, you can stream your games to Nova’s screen and use a touch controller on the screen or paint with your physical controller like I do.

Should you put the big bulky gaming desktop or laptop aside and play with a lightweight tablet? It’s a great experience, assuming you have the bandwidth at home or while travelling.

Let’s be honest; There are plenty of gaming tablets available, and I’d say it’s a relatively niche space. That hasn’t stopped RedMagic from offering something equivalent to its gaming smartphones. It is, at its core, a RedMagic 9S Pro, a forged high-end game. smartphone. You would seriously consider buying it with a physical controller, and if this combination piques your interest, then the Redmagic Nova pill should not disappoint you.

Now, here is my review of the Nubia Redmagic 9S Pro gaming smartphone.
