In a surprising turn of events, the highly anticipated RedMagic Nova gaming tablet failed to secure a spot in AnTuTu’s latest rankings of the top-performing tablets for Q1 2024. The benchmark platform, widely regarded as a trusted authority for device performance evaluations, released its list earlier this week, sparking discussions among tech enthusiasts about the unexpected omission of RedMagic’s flagship gaming-focused device.
According to AnTuTu’s official report (embedded below), the rankings were dominated by established brands like Lenovo, Xiaomi, and Huawei, with the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 clinching the top spot thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and 144Hz display. The mid-range iWEGGO IWCP80, praised for its FHD display and affordability in a recent review, also managed to carve out a position in the lower half of the top 10.
AnTuTu's Q1 2024 Tablet Performance Rankings
The absence of the RedMagic Nova is particularly notable given its aggressive marketing as a “dedicated gaming powerhouse” with a 120Hz AMOLED screen and liquid cooling technology. Industry analysts speculate that the device may have fallen short due to software optimization issues or thermal throttling during prolonged gaming sessions—a critical factor in AnTuTu’s stress-testing methodology. Others suggest the tablet’s delayed global rollout could have excluded it from the testing pool altogether.
Meanwhile, competitors like the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 continue to gain traction. Lenovo’s offering, available for purchase directly through their official store, has been lauded for balancing raw power with efficient thermal management. Similarly, budget-friendly options like the iWEGGO IWCP80 are proving that high performance doesn’t always require a premium price tag.
RedMagic has yet to comment on the rankings, leaving fans to wonder whether future software updates or hardware revisions could address the Nova’s alleged shortcomings. For now, the tablet’s absence from AnTuTu’s list serves as a reminder of the fierce competition in the Android tablet market—and the challenges of standing out in a field where specs alone don’t guarantee success.
Stay tuned for further updates as RedMagic responds to the benchmark results.
