Built for competitive mobile gamers and creators who want flagship performance in a compact form factor, Astra combines a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset with a 9.06-inch 2.4K (2400×1504) 165Hz OLED display, ICE-X cooling, and an 8,200mAh battery.

Compact by Design, Premium in Hand

Powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite with LPDDR5T RAM and UFS 4.1 Pro storage, Astra is tuned for high frame rates, fast app launches, and stable multitasking. The dedicated RedCore R3 Pro gaming co-processor helps optimize rendering, thermal control, battery behavior, and system tuning—supporting consistent performance during extended gameplay.

OLED Clarity, Ultra-Responsive Touch

Co-developed with Synaptics, Astra features next-generation touch technology with up to a 2,000Hz instant touch sampling rate for fast, accurate input—even with sweaty hands. SGS Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free certifications help support eye comfort.

ICE-X Cooling for Sustained Gameplay

Astra integrates a 13-layer ICE-X thermal system featuring Liquid Metal 2.0, dual vapor chambers, and REDMAGIC's high-speed turbofan (up to 20,000 RPM) to improve heat dissipation and reduce throttling under heavy loads.

All-Day Battery and Fast Charging
