Finally, an Android tablet that I can confidently recommend to gamers

I started out skeptical, but RedMagic's Astra gaming tablet blew me away with its outstanding gaming performance.

After I played around with various actions to keep testing the animations and app opening speeds (which were blazing fast), I decided to dive into what this tablet was built for: gaming. Jack Wallen/ZDNETEnergy Cube features behavioral learning as well as an auto fan option (to keep the tablet cooler during longer sessions), as well as on-demand recording. That extra 4GB of RAM and 256 GB of added storage are well worth the price bump, and part of what contributed to my tablet's fantastic performance.
