Buying call

Buy the RedMagic Astra 2 if you want the best small Android tablet for gaming: reviewers measured blistering, sustained performance from its liquid cooling, one lab called it the brightest Android tablet it had tested, and it averaged 10 h 32 min in a streaming test. The compact OLED and two USB-C ports suit handheld play. Skip it if you want a work tablet, because split-screen productivity is poor, the software carries bloatware, and there's no OS update promise. The cooling can buzz, and audio gets muddy at high volume.
