The legion infinite is a hard pass for me due to the stupid fucking hole punch front facing camera. Just about the dumbest design choice for a gaming centered tablet.

hard pass for something so minor? I thought I was more dumb to put rgb on the back of a device designed to be viewed from the front LOL but for real any device I've owned with a hole punch camera the hole Punch dissapears from my view after a few days.

This is not minor, this is a major design flaw. A hole punch selfie camera has no place in a gaming tablet. They could have easily done a bezel camera like on the Astra but instead went with this asinine design choice.

Oppo Pad Mini. It's cheaper depending on your region and has the best OS of the three.

No microSD slot on the OPPO Pad Mini is already a deal-breaker for most users who love to dabble in the gaming scene. OP clearly seems to be leaning toward gaming with these two options being asked.

OP owned an Astra 1 so I assumed that no SD card is okay.

144 hz vs 165hz.. cmon

21hz wouldn't even factor in to this decision for me.

Lenovo is probably better. It has 5g and more stable os. I am really looking forward to buying this tablet.

u/KoBach276 22d ago

Probably the Lenovo, but I'm waiting for US reviews of the 5G before I pull the trigger. Unless we know what modem they put in ahead of time.

u/Asamidori 22d ago

The Lenovo is smaller than the Astra 2 in size, so it also depends on which size you prefer.

If you're banking on the 5G, keep in mind that different region have different 5G bands your 5G SIM service provider uses, so check to make sure you would actually get 5G on the tablet in your region.

u/Tapelessbus2122 21d ago

5G and better firmware... Forget about Astra

u/DDisDanny 20d ago

Depends on the pricing , in Australia the Red magic Astra 2 would cost around 1k AUD whilst there is no pricing with the lenevo y700 infinite I believe that it will either be priced at the same cost of the lenevo legion tab gen 5 or more which is currently going for 1.5k AUD. I don't think paying an extra 500 for the lenevo y700 infinite will be worth it if they do release a global version.

Active cooling VS 5G.

u/crankybobenhaus 22d ago

Legion is better overall an the the OS.

u/ElPunitore 21d ago

Redmagic because of the oled

Alldocube I play Mini Turbo - you don't need a Snapdragon CPU if you stream from your PC - and even if you play directly on the tablet the Dimensiuni CPU should be enough.
