Gaming on any device in the modern age will generate a massive amount of heat. Any gamer can tell you about burning fingertips and hands while trying to navigate extended gaming sessions. This is why most advanced devices feature elevated cooling mechanisms to prevent heat from getting in the way of your game. REDMAGIC has been building innovative cooling technologies for a long time and has installed the most enhanced cooling techniques across all its devices – ensuring that users can keep gaming in comfort from their phones, laptops, and tablets.

The latest REDMAGIC Nova gaming tablet made its debut recently and boasted its industry-leading Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and pioneering transparent design. However, one of the more pivotal features of this powerhouse tablet is still its impressive cooling technology. In this blog article, we look at how the Nova gaming tablet revolutionized cooling technology while comparing its cooling capacity to the innovative cooling techniques we’ve seen used in our REDMAGIC gaming phone series. First, let’s take a look at how far we’ve come in terms of cooling expertise.

Cool Beginnings with REDMAGIC Gaming Phones

Gaming phones began taking off in popularity in the last few years as portability and compact gaming became simpler and more efficient for most people living a busy lifestyle. REDMAGIC has since released several gaming phones that have all been equipped with the best graphics, processing power, and battery life. However, REDMAGIC has always emphasized creating effective cooling technologies in its phone series. In 2019, the REDMAGIC 3 became the first smartphone with a built-in fan and set a new standard for cooling in the gaming phone market. We then introduced the ICE Cooling Mechanism with the ICE 6.0 feature in the REDMAGIC 6 and made it the first of our devices equipped with a 20,000 RPM turbofan – which soon became a hallmark of the next few generations of REDMAGIC gaming phones. 

Later on, the REDMAGIC 7S Pro was installed with the ICE 10.0 Cooling System which made cooling more efficient than the previous generation. The REDMAGIC ICE 13.0 cooling mechanism was then featured in the REDMAGIC 9 Pro - reducing temperatures by up to 18°C. Today, the REDMAGIC 9S Pro takes cooling capacity even further with the advanced ICE 13.5 cooling system that is engineered to keep your gaming device cool and unstoppable during the most intense gaming sessions.

However, while the REDMAGIC gaming phone series can accept its flowers for elevated cooling, the Nova gaming tablet has impressively surpassed the smartphone range in its cooling capabilities. 

How the Nova Gaming Tablet Keeps Getting Cooler 

REDMAGIC has made a massive leap in design innovation by releasing its first-ever gaming tablet recently. The Nova gaming tablet took the industry by storm by being the world’s first and only gaming tablet equipped with a 3rd-Gen Snapdragon 8 Leading Version Chip and the world’s first tablet with a transparent design. The pioneering device also boasts being the first tablet with an integrated fan and PC-level 3D heat pipe technology for advanced cooling -  a feature that puts it miles ahead of competitors and the rest of the REDMAGIC smartphone series as well. 

In their review, Devom Pro noted that keeping the device cool during intense gaming sessions is crucial and that REDMAGIC has equipped the Nova gaming tablet with an advanced liquid-cooling system that ensures that the device remains cool - even during prolonged gaming to prevent performance throttling. Overall, the review concluded that the Nova Gaming Tab is an unparalleled device that offers a premium, immersive gaming experience – and it’s not difficult to see why.

Like every REDMAGIC family member, the Nova gaming tablet uses superior cooling technology and comes equipped with an innovative ICE 2.0 PAD Cooling System - a revolutionary 9-layer heat dissipation technology capable of reducing core temperatures by an impressive 25℃.

The Nova tablet is also the first gaming tablet to use a 20,000 RPM high-speed turbine centrifugal internal fan. The Nova’s cooling system has an innovative design that includes a 29,400mm² under-screen heat dissipation alloy, 9,268mm² superconducting copper foil, 89,114mm² integrated aviation aluminum body, and thermal conductive gel. These components all work together in harmony to provide effective heat dissipation while gaming, reducing dust ingress, and improving cooling efficiency by 30% so you can keep playing for longer. The Nova gaming tablet stays cool with a 3D heat pipe surrounding the cooling tube to vent out hot air using thermal conductive gel.

ETA Prime also noted in his review that the fan in the REDMAGIC Nova gaming tablet is much quieter than the fans inside the REDMAGIC gaming phone devices – most likely due to having more space in the tablet for internal cooling components when compared to the limited scale of a gaming phone. This is where the comparison starts to become more uneven in the playing field.

Apples and Oranges: The Cooling Capacity Difference You Should Expect

While all REDMAGIC gaming phones are equipped with elevated cooling to keep up with modern games, they cannot compete when it comes to cooling capacity when pitted against the Nova gaming tablet – and this is why. 

1. Sizing Up Means Distributed Heat: A gaming tablet is naturally going to be larger than a gaming smartphone and this means that there’s more space for effective heat dissipation across a wider surface area. 
2. Lower Risk of Thermal Throttling: Systems will generally reduce performance to prevent overheating by thermal throttling. Once again, the size of a gaming tablet ensures that the device cools more efficiently and can maintain its performance – even during extended gaming sessions.
3. Overall Comfort: Generally, gaming phones will heat up faster than tablets – making them more difficult to use. Tablets lower the risk of burning fingertips with a wider screen and better cooling.
4. More Space for Cooling Components: A bigger structure means that REDMAGIC has equipped the Nova gaming tablet with an internal fan, 3D heat pipe, and 3D thermal gel – all cooling components that would simply not fit into a smartphone.
5. Battery Heat Management: The battery of any device will generate a large amount of heat over time which is why tablets can more effectively dissipate that heat over their large surface area, whereas a gaming phone might be restricted to its smaller and more heated battery structure over time.

While every REDMAGIC device is designed to perfection with the needs of the user in mind, we cannot deny that the Nova gaming tablet provides a superior cooling capacity when compared to even the most impressive gaming phones available. Take your gaming prowess to the next level with efficiency and performance that goes the extra mile and invest in the REDMAGIC Nova gaming tablet today for power that truly moves you.
