OnePlus teasers for new products are always a fun sight. Its latest one gives us an early look at the company’s next tablet, and it sets the stage quite nicely. In a new Weibo post, the company calls the upcoming OnePlus Pad Pro the “most powerful Android tablet” to date. Call us impressed.

The new tablet, likely to be called the “OnePlus Pad 2” in the U.S., is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. However, it’s also possible that OnePlus has chosen the Dimensity 9300+ chipset instead. The Dimensity 9300+ is currently the fastest Android chipset on the market.

The tease (shown below) suggests the new tablet will look much like the previous one, down to being available in a green hue. Beyond this, little is known about the OnePlus Pad 2.

The current OnePlus Pad is considered the best Android tablet on the market. The well-reviewed tablet offers a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. That first-generation model features an 11.6-inch LCD with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 7:5 aspect ratio. It provides 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The device sports a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera. Its battery capacity is 9510mAh and it supports 67-watt fast charging.

We can’t wait to see OnePlus’s next tablet, and we won’t have long to wait. The tease says an official announcement is coming this week, on Thursday, July 27. At that time, we will have the specifications for the tablet, as well as the China release date. However, we might have to wait a little longer for the U.S. release date. The current model was released in the U.S. in February 2023.

This new smartwatch has ruined all other wearables for me
The OnePlus Watch 3.

It's the worst kept secret of smartwatches: They may be smart, but my word, do their batteries tend to suck.

I've owned a number of smartwatches in my time, and no matter how much I love using them, eventually, I get tired of dealing with lackluster battery capacities. That's why, in the past, I've always found myself returning to fitness watches instead, or dabbling in smart rings. Smartwatches are ... well ... smart — but they lack the stamina to really go the distance. And it turns out, no matter how much I'm dazzled by smart tech, it's always a daily charge that kills the experience for me.

OnePlus might be about to launch its most powerful budget smartphone yet
The OnePlus 13 and OnePlus Watch 3.

It's been a day for phone leaks, with Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge appearing in an unexpected hands on video, while the rumoured Apple iPhone 17 Air's svelte profile was presented alongside the iPhone 17 Pro using a couple of dummy cases. Both those devices are in the premium segment though. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge for example, is reported to cost $1400 so it's certainly not what you would call mid-range. 

The next leak we are about to tell you about, however, is surrounding a device that is very much expected to hit the mid-range sweet spot. In fact, it might even fall into budget. A Weibo post from Digital Chat Station, spotted by MySmartPrice, has revealed that the OnePlus 13T could launch in April and run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite platform.
