Fastlane Japan will launch Nubia Technology's REDMAGIC Astra 2 gamer tablet in Japan on September 16. Pre-orders open September 9 at 12:00 on the official website. Two models are available: a 12GB RAM / 256GB storage version at 139,800 yen and a 16GB RAM / 512GB storage version at 159,800 yen, with early reservation prices of 133,800 yen and 153,800 yen respectively. Email registration before reservations start adds a 1,000 yen coupon.
The tablet pairs a 9.06-inch OLED panel at 2400x1504 resolution with a maximum refresh rate of 185Hz. The display uses a light-emitting material co-developed with panel maker BOE that cuts power draw, and the touch sampling rate reaches 240Hz standard and up to 2000Hz maximum.
Cooling runs through the AquaCore Cooling System 2.0, which combines a liquid cooling unit, a large vapor chamber, and liquid metal thermal interface material. The fluorinated coolant stays liquid from -60 to 108 degrees Celsius. A CUBE Game Engine handles power management and a Red Core 4 gaming processor backs it up. Nubia's testing claims Genshin Impact at 60fps for over 9 hours on the roughly 8300mAh battery, which supports 75W fast charging and bypass charging.
