RedMagic launched the Astra tablet back in June of last year, and it’s now apparently hard at work on this tablet’s successor, which we’ll call the Astra 2 for simplicity’s sake. While the original Astra was known in China as the RedMagic Tablet 3 Pro, its successor will be the RedMagic Tablet 5 Pro in that market, skipping the 4 because of tetraphobia.
Internationally though, it will most likely be sold as the Astra 2. According to a new leak by the prolific Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the Astra 2 will have a screen with a 200Hz refresh rate. The size is expected to stay around 9″ like the original Astra.

The new tablet will have the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC at the helm, and a battery around 9,000 mAh, which would be slightly larger than the Astra’s 8,200 mAh cell. These are all the details leaked right now, but of course that 200Hz refresh rate stands out and will probably be marketed heavily by RedMagic when this tablet launches, as it is after all a gaming-oriented brand.
