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.

Leaked OnePlus timeline suggests at least four new devices this year

OnePlus has a lot of different things in the oven right now, and a newly-leaked roadmap suggests there could be a new device in April, May, October, and November. The leak comes via Oneline Technology on Weibo and seems to confirm several expected launches, including the OnePlus 13 Mini as the OnePlus 13T.

The post lists the four devices as the OnePlus 13T, the Ace 5S, the OnePlus 14, and the OnePlus Ace 6 and Ace 6 Pro. The tipster says the products are "temporarily" named and are likely to change, so the exact names aren't yet confirmed. If the company does go with the 13T naming scheme, it will be the first time since the OnePlus 10T released in 2022.

Despite smartphones like the Oppo Find X8 Pro, Apple iPhone 16 Pro, and Galaxy S25 Ultra costing more, the $1,000 price point has still proven to be the ultimate fighting challenge of the smartphone industry.

While some companies offer smartphones above this price, these are dubbed as ultra-premium flagship smartphones, and the flagship smartphone market is determined by the best that a company can offer at, or lower than, the magical $1,000 price point.

OnePlus may launch a compact flagship smartphone

OnePlus may be planning to release another entry into its OnePlus 13 range, and it may be substantially different to other mainstream smartphones. It’s potentially going to be called the OnePlus 13 Mini, and as the name suggests, it’ll be smaller than the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R already available. Is interest in the "compact flagship smartphone" about to see (another) resurgence?

The latest about the unreleased phone concerns the camera, which will apparently feature two 50-megapixel sensors, arranged in a vertical “bar” module on the back of the phone. The main 50MP camera is likely to be joined by a 50MP telephoto for a 2x optical zoom. This comes from the Digital Chat Station Weibo account, a well-known source of information on unreleased mobile devices.
