Red Magic looks set to update its gaming tablet lineup soon. The upcoming Red Magic Gaming Tablet 5 Pro has now been teased with an official launch window.

Jiang Chao, a senior executive at the company, said on Weibo that the tablet will arrive sometime in April or May 2026. He didn’t share an exact date, but did say the device should be worth the wait. It will follow last year’s Gaming Tablet 3 Pro, which marked Red Magic’s push into compact, performance-focused tablets.

One thing that’s already been confirmed is a global rollout. The previous model launched in China first and later arrived internationally under the name Red Magic Astra, so something similar could happen again. If the timing holds, a global version might show up a month or two after the initial release.

As for upgrades, RedMagic is hinting at a few key changes. The tablet is expected to feature an OLED display with a very high refresh rate. Some early talk suggests it could go beyond 165Hz, possibly even touching 200Hz, though that’s still unconfirmed.

For performance, Red Magic is expected to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. Cooling also seems to be a big focus. The company is reportedly working on a more advanced system using PC-grade materials, which should help keep performance stable during longer gaming sessions.

Pricing is still unclear, but with component costs rising, a slight increase wouldn’t be surprising.

For now, most of the information is still coming from early teasers and hints. But with the launch window already confirmed, more details should start to appear soon.
