RedMagic Astra 2 Review: The Best Android Gaming Tablet You Can Buy, Again - CNET

With plenty of power and one of the best Android tablet displays CNET's tested, the Astra 2 retains its crown. Article updated on August 31, 2026, 5:38 am EDT The first Astra tablet from RedMagic packed some of the best mobile hardware you could find at the time. With the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Elite Plus processor, fast memory and storage and a gorgeous 9-inch 165Hz OLED display, it truly established itself as the gaming tablet to beat last year. We even awarded it an Editors’ Choice along with the similarly sized Legion Tab Gen 3 from Lenovo. What set it apart was the no-holds-barred approach to hardware, something RedMagic has been doing for years. And with the Astra 2, RedMagic has doubled down on what it does best: delivering hands-down the most powerful Android gaming tablet around. The Astra 2 continues the RedMagic trend of packing nearly every top-of-the-line spec imaginable into it
