RedMagic is preparing to push gaming tablets into even more aggressive territory, and its next release is already drawing attention for one unusual detail: visible water cooling on the back. The company has now confirmed that the tablet will be unveiled on 30 June in China as the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro.
The design alone is enough to separate it from most rivals in the tablet market. RedMagic is presenting the device not just as a performance-focused slate, but as a product built to keep heat under control during long gaming sessions.
A design built around cooling
Official images show a rear layout that puts the cooling system in full view. The exposed pipe design makes water cooling one of the tablet’s main visual features, which is unusual even by gaming-device standards.
RedMagic has also said the tablet is “very comfortable to hold,” suggesting that ergonomics is being treated as seriously as raw gaming performance. That combination points to a device aimed at users who want power without sacrificing long-session comfort.
The tablet will arrive in two color options, according to the images released so far. Those renders show a bold gaming-oriented appearance that fits RedMagic’s usual style.
What is known so far about the hardware
Full specifications are still under wraps, but early rumors point to a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. If that turns out to be accurate, the tablet would sit near the top of the Android performance class.
The display is also expected to play a major role in the device’s appeal. Reports indicate a 9-inch OLED panel with a 185Hz refresh rate, a combination that could make the tablet especially attractive for competitive gaming.
OLED technology would also bring the usual benefits of strong contrast and vivid color, while the high refresh rate would help motion feel smoother in fast-paced titles. RedMagic has not yet confirmed these details officially.

From Gaming Tablet 3 Pro to a possible global follow-up
The new model succeeds the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 3 Pro, which was later sold globally under the RedMagic Astra name. That history has fueled speculation that the next tablet could also receive a different international name.
If RedMagic follows the same pattern again, the RedMagic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro could reach global markets as RedMagic Astra 2. However, no global name has been announced yet.
That possibility matters because RedMagic has already shown it is willing to repackage its tablet lineup for markets outside China. The approach helps the brand keep a consistent identity while adapting to international launch plans.
For now, the company has only confirmed the China launch and shown the official design. More information about the final specifications, extra features, and any international release will likely emerge when the device is fully revealed on 30 June.
