Get ready for a potential game-changer in the budget tablet market. A recent leak from Digital Chat Station, shared by Android Authority, suggests that OnePlus is preparing to launch a new “Standard Edition” tablet with impressive features.

This tablet may feature a large 11.6-inch display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 2,800 x 2,000 pixels. It is expected to be powered by a new MediaTek Dimensity 8350 processor. It will also come equipped with a substantial 9,520mAh battery that supports 67-watt fast charging, ensuring extended usage hours. So far, all are very promising specs.

Why is this tablet rumor likely true? Oppo recently introduced the Oppo Pad 3 in China, which has the exact specifications. While they operate as separate brands, Oppo and OnePlus are closely linked and often launch similar products in different markets.

The newly announced Oppo Pad 3 is only 6.29 mm thick and offers options for either 8GB or 12GB of RAM. It also provides various storage capacities: 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB. The tablet is compatible with the Oppo Pencil 2 as well. In China, it is available in three colors: silver, purple, and dark blue.

OnePlus currently offers the 2023 OnePlus Pad for $300 and the 2024 OnePlus Pad 2 for $550. The 2023 model features the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chip, while the 2024 model has a more powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. Android Authority points out that if the new tablet includes a Dimensity 8350, it will likely be priced lower than the current models.

OnePlus sells a OnePlus Pad Go for approximately $300 in some regions. This version is equipped with a MediaTek Helio G99, which ranks below the MediaTek 8350 in terms of performance. This suggests that the new tablet could be named the OnePlus Go 2. If this new OnePlus Pad launches in the U.S., we could be looking at a price tag of around $400 or less. For these specs, that would be mighty impressive.

Digital Chat Station expects the newest OnePlus tablet to launch soon.

The Oppo Find N5 should have been the OnePlus Open 2, here’s why

A phone maker can rarely repeatedly surprise you, but Oppo and OnePlus have done that with their folding phones. The OnePlus Open — OnePlus’s first foldable and based on the Oppo Find N3 — has been widely regarded as the best folding phone since its launch in October 2013.

The successor was meant to be the Oppo Find N5. I’ve spent the past month using Oppo’s latest folding phone, and it’s my favorite folding phone right now. It offers a significantly improved experience over the OnePlus Open, but there's one problem: you can't buy it.

OnePlus 13 Mini tipped to have bigger battery than OnePlus 13

The OnePlus 13 Mini (or 13T, depending on the naming scheme) could end up with a larger battery than its flagship cousin, according to leaker Digital Chat Station. According to the tipster, the OnePlus 13 Mini will have a 6,200mAh battery versus the OnePlus 13's 6,000mAh battery.

Considering the smaller size of the OnePlus 13 Mini, a larger battery capacity is impressive enough. Throw in the fact that it will have a 6.3-inch display instead of the 6.8-inch display of the OnePlus 13, and its power demands should drop by a large margin.

Oppo smartwatch may lead to the small OnePlus Watch 3 we’re craving

One of the few downsides of the excellent OnePlus Watch 3 is that it only comes in a single case size, but if an Oppo smartwatch release in China is anything to go by, the company may now be in a position to change that. The Oppo Watch X2 Mini has been given an official April 10 launch date and is available for pre-order in China, and it may be the template for a OnePlus Watch 3 Mini.

Before we talk about the smartwatch, here’s some context. Oppo and OnePlus entered into a strategic partnership in 2021, with the two brands effectively sharing research, development, software, and even camera partners. While the two release separate and suitably different products, there are many similarities. The OnePlus Watch 3 just happens to have an Oppo sibling called the Oppo Watch X2, and the pair are practically identical.
