The RedMagic Tablet 3 Pro is armed with a 9.06" 165Hz OLED display, fan-cooled SD 8 Elite chip
RedMagic is changing course and leaving LCD behind for its latest gaming tablet. It also opted for a smaller form factor and brought the same performance hardware that powers the RedMagic 10S Pro.
RedMagic Tablet 3 Pro
The RedMagic Tablet 3 Pro launches in China at midnight and will be available for the global market from July 1 – but note that internationally the tablet will sell under the name RedMagic Astra.
The tablet has a 9.06' OLED display with 165Hz refresh rate. Peak brightness is 1,600 nits, while full-screen brightness reaches 1,100 nits. This is controlled via 5,280Hz high-frequency PWM.

The slate can actually make full use of that high refresh rate – Minecraft runs at 165fps, League of Legends: Wild Rift reaches 144Hz, while Call of Duty: Mobile, PUBG Mobile and Genshin Impact can do 120fps.
It's not just Android games either, RedMagic has preloaded a PC emulator that can run AAA PC titles like Tomb Raider at 60fps. The company has also prepared several gaming accessories – from the Shadow Blade Gamepad 3 to the IceBlade Magnetic Keyboard, you can pick whichever suits your favorite games best. But more on that later.
The RedMagic Tablet 3 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite paired with 12GB/16GB/24GB of LPDDR5T RAM and 256GB/512GB/1TB of UFS 4.1 Pro storage. It's not clear whether this is the Leading Version of the chip, by the way, as the product page doesn't list any frequencies. We do know that the tablet employs the RedCore R3 Pro chip that upscales game graphics to 2K at up to 120fps.

And the glass panel on the back shows off the ICE-X Cooling system, complete with liquid metal, a large vapor chamber and a fan. The fan has RGB lighting and, more importantly, reduces chipset temperature by up to 8°C. According to RedMagic, anyway, our tests of the 10S Pro show limited benefits from the fan.
The Tablet 3 Pro runs on an 8,200mAh battery that promises up to 5.5 hours of gaming on a single charge (playing Honkai: Star Rail). With an 80W charger, it can go from flat to 50% charged in 20 minutes. The USB port is positioned higher up at the side to keep cables out of the way, if you want to game and charge.
8,200mAh battery with 80W charging • Stereo speakers and dual haptic drivers
That port is USB 3.2 Gen 2 and can drive external displays up to 8K at 60Hz, by the way. Dropping the resolution to 4K enables refresh rates up to 144Hz.
The tablet is CNC-machined from aerospace-grade aluminum. The 9.06' 16:10 display is surrounded by a uniform 4.9mm bezel. The back is aluminum, save for the glass panel that offers a peek at the cooling fan.
The RedMagic Tablet 3 Pro can be ordered in China tomorrow (unless you want to stay up – sales start at midnight). The base 12GB/256GB model is CNY 4,000 ($555). You can also get a 16GB/512GB model for CNY 4,700 ($655) or the fully decked out 24GB/1TB model for CNY 6,000 ($835). Note that only the Dawn Black Transparent version is available right now, there should be a Silverwing Transparent model too.
For the upcoming global launch, check out the RedMagic Astra Gaming Tablet page. RedMagic Shadow Blade Gamepad 3 and PC game emulation
There are several accessories that can boost the gaming experience too. The RedMagic Shadow Blade Gamepad 3 has Hall-effect joysticks, a linear motor and a 6-axis gyroscope. It's compatible with the Tablet 3 Pro but can also be used with the Nintendo Switch and gaming tablets under 9'. The Gamepad 3 costs CNY 600 ($85).
The RedMagic IceBlade Magnetic Keyboard has a CNC-machined aluminum alloy body and a very high polling rate – 8,000Hz for 0.1ms response time. This will cost you CNY 1,000 ($140).

How is Motorola simultaneously doing too little and too much with the confusing Edge family?
I'm sure that you all know the names of the top two smartphone vendors in the US, but if I ask you who the market's third-largest player is, you're probably going to have to think a little... and may still get the answer wrong. The same goes for the number two foldable smartphone vendor in Europe as of Q1 2025 (only ranked behind Samsung), and if you're wondering what those achievements could have in common, you should know they belong to the same company. Clearly, Motorola is doing well both stateside and on the old continent and both in the foldable segment and as far as the mobile industry as a whole is concerned. But could the Lenovo-owned brand do even better in terms of sales volumes across the entire world? I think so, and the latest rumor regarding its next (non-foldable) flagship highlights one of the biggest hurdles the veteran handset maker needs to clear in order to step things up and become a serious rival for Samsung and Apple. I know what (some of) you are going to say. You don't care about marketing or branding, the only thing you look at when you're thinking of buying a new phone is just how good the phone is. But let's be honest here for a second - no one has the time and energy to do research on dozens and dozens of "different" devices, many of which look incredibly similar at first glance. That might be one of the reasons why so many people only seriously consider the iPhone 16 family and Samsung Galaxy S25 series when exploring their high-end options right now. Those are also pretty expansive, but they're easy to understand even for the least tech-savvy buyers out there. The Edge 60 Pro is... not a true flagship. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena But if the Edge 50 Ultra is a thing, that means a Galaxy S25 Ultra -rivaling Edge 60 Ultra has to be just around the corner, right? According to the legendary Evan Blass, that is in fact wrong, with Motorola instead working on the Edge 70 Ultra already. While common sense would seem to dictate a 2026 launch for the entire Edge 70 family, there's clearly a chance this mysterious flagship will see daylight by the end of 2025, joining all the aforementioned Edge 60 models (as well as their "vanilla" sibling) to create a very awkward and overly convoluted product lineup. If it feels like Motorola is doing too much in many European and Asian territories, releasing a new member of the Edge family practically every few weeks or so (not to mention the even more insane Moto G-series upgrade rhythm), the opposite is undeniably true in the US. Not only is there just one Motorola Edge (2025) model available stateside at the time of this writing, but that happens to be far from the most exciting smartphone released by the company this year. And it's not even that affordable, at least at the moment. Long story short, it's almost like Motorola's American branch is afraid of truly trying to compete with Apple and Samsung, nonetheless evidently still doing enough to win the regional bronze medal as far as shipments go. The US-only Motorola Edge 2025 is a largely unremarkable mid-ranger. | Image Credit -- Motorola Hopefully, that's where the Edge 70 Ultra will come in, reviving the US Edge+ line (maybe under a different name) after an inexplicable break of (at least) two years. I don't have anything to base that hunch on, but a Motorola Edge Plus (2025) or Edge Ultra (2025) device with Snapdragon 8 Elite processing power has to happen, and it has to happen soon. Of course, that still wouldn't make Motorola's messy product launch and branding strategy make a whole lot of sense, but it might just distract enough people from the illogical absence of the Edge 60 Ultra to give the company a little more time to put things in order.

Qualcomm may approach Snapdragon the way Apple handles its A-series chips
Qualcomm may be considering adopting Apple's strategy when it comes to its Snapdragon chipsets. Similar to Apple's A-series chips, the Snapdragon 8 Elite 3 could see two variants of itself instead of just the one. The company's plans to manufacture the Elite 3 using a 2 nm process also spells broad upcoming changes for the smartphone industry at this strategy of a base model chip and a 'Pro' chip, both of the Snapdragon 8 Elite 3 variants will be manufactured using a 2 nm process. Qualcomm will once again turn to TSMC ( Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company ) for this, as Samsung Foundry has reportedly failed to secure orders. The Snapdragon 8 Elite 3 — both variants of it — will also likely ( translated source ) see big price hikes due to the 2 nm process. This will not only make some smartphones more expensive, but also deter some manufacturers from using the chips at all to preserve an affordable price tag. Samsung is going to be affected by this if its foundry hasn't perfected an Exynos replacement till then. The company initially planned to use the Exynos 2500 chipset across its Galaxy S25 line, but couldn't get the chip ready on time. Samsung is now trying to complete work on, and begin mass production of, the 2 nm Exynos 2600 chipset for the Galaxy S26 phones. The entire Galaxy S25 series uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. | Video credit — Samsung I can think of one major reason why Qualcomm may be considering adopting Apple's approach to its chipsets. Offering a cheaper, but still modern, alternative may encourage companies to purchase more Snapdragon chips from Qualcomm. For example, Samsung has worked extra hard to get the Exynos 2500 ready in time for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7, while still using Snapdragon for the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Though the company has grand dreams for Exynos, it may have gone for a cheaper Snapdragon chip for the Flip 7 , if such a thing was available. Qualcomm may be banking on phone manufacturers choosing the base model Elite 3 for their budget offerings instead of competitors like MediaTek. Apple's approach to its A-series chips for the iPhone has also always helped make a clear distinction between the standard iPhone models and the Pro models. Qualcomm may also be targeting a similar marketing approach with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 3. The Snapdragon 8 Elite 3 will likely come out in 2026 and directly challenge that year's A20 chips from Apple, which are also reported to be 2 nm.
