At REDMAGIC, we always push to give our fans the best service and products available. From the moment the pen hits the paper in the design room to the second your package hits your hands, we strive to give you the best experience possible with our team. However, there are certain factors in this process that we don’t have much control over, which can affect production and result in delays.
Unfortunately, this was the case with our latest Astra 12GB + 256GB Starfrost gaming tablet. The gaming tablet took center stage since its release, and the Starfrost 12GB + 126GB version quickly became a knockout hit. Seeing this, we pushed our suppliers to ramp up production to meet the growing demand. However, a few unexpected supply chain issues have caused a delay in the process.
This blog article will explain the launch delay and give you key information about when the Starfrost 12GB + 256GB Astra gaming tablet will be available, along with information about extended Early Bird offers.
The production process for all REDMAGIC devices can be complex, as we demand the best quality components and production for every product. Due to the overwhelming demand for the Astra 12GB + 256GB Starfrost gaming tablet, production processes had to speed up. However, a few unexpected and unfortunate challenges in the supply chain resulted in the manufacturing and delivery of the tablets suddenly taking much longer than previously anticipated.
Due to the unforeseen supply chain issues mentioned above, the Astra 12GB + 256GB Starfrost gaming tablet has been delayed and is now expected to launch on September 10, 2025. We are truly sorry for any and all inconvenience caused by this delay and completely understand how frustrating delays can be. Please know that our team is doing everything in its power to get the launch back on track as soon as possible.
The Astra gaming tablet took the world by storm since it was announced. This compact 9.06-inch powerhouse made waves, boasting the most powerful chip in an Android tablet of its size with the Snapdragon 8 Elite powering its stunning 2.4K OLED display, enhanced 13-layer ICE-X cooling system, massive storage options, and an 8,200 mAh battery with fast charging support.
Truly, a gaming tablet worth waiting for. If you still feel like getting cold feet, simply take a look at what reviewers and the media have been saying about the latest Astra gaming tablet. For Tech Spurt, the gorgeous OLED screen, big battery, and Snapdragon 8 Elite performance of the REDMAGIC Astra make it “a premium 2025 Android tablet for gamers.”
Similarly, GamesRadar insisted that the Astra crammed “an insane amount of power into a compact form factor and pulls it all off with a flourish,” while the reliable Toms Guide attested to the Astra being “a certified contender for the best gaming tablet you can buy, thanks to the combination of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and a jaw-dropping OLED 165Hz screen.” He even went on to praise the versatility of the tablet, saying that it remained “a fantastic device, even if you're not a huge gamer.”
For CGM Tech, the REDMAGIC Astra gaming tablet “brings flagship performance to a compact 9-inch form factor built specifically for mobile gamers.” They even put the device to the test and found that, from Diablo Immortal to Genshin Impact, every game thrown at the Astra ran at max settings without issue.

This is why you should wait for the new launch of the Astra 12GB + 256GB Starfrost tablet to truly be part of the best gaming revolution in the industry. We also recognize that our launch delay has affected our Early Bird customers as well, and we want to make it up to you as best as we can.
The launch of the Astra gaming tablet came with several Early Bird perks and promos to get our community excited. Now, with the launch of the Astra 12GB + 256GB Starfrost tablet delayed to the 10th of September, it’s only fair to extend the Early Bird promotions as well.
We've officially extended all the Early Bird code and perks for the Astra 12GB + 256GB Starfrost version until the 17th of September 2025, allowing you to redeem those Early Bird perks once they become available without any hassle.
For all Astra 12GB + 256GB Starfrost gaming tablets bought now, your Early Bird code and perks will be valid until the 17th of September, giving you enough time to redeem your rewards once the tablet becomes available.
However, for all other Astra gaming tablet versions, the Early Bird code will still expire on August 16, 2025. Remember that for any version that has not yet been launched, our fans will always have at least 1 full week to redeem Early Bird perks once the product goes live.
We are once again truly sorry for any inconvenience caused by this delay and extend our sincere gratitude to our REDMAGIC family for being patient and understanding throughout this period.
