OnePlus Pad Pro Gets Its First Teaser, Company Is Calling It The Most Powerful Android Tablet, Hinting At Impressive Specifications
The successor to the OnePlus Pad could be around the corner as the new tablet gets its first teaser in China. Given that the current model is available at a competitive price, which was likely the reason for its success, it is unsurprising to see a new version materializing soon. In the teaser, the company claims that the OnePlus Pad Pro is the most powerful Android tablet, which can only keep us guessing which hardware will be powering its innards.
OnePlus Pad Pro may launch in the U.S. as the OnePlus Pad 2, possibly getting outfitted with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or Dimensity 9300+
On Weibo, the OnePlus put out a poster, indicating to Chinese consumers that a new tablet would arrive in the market very soon. This would be the first time that a device of this category would be launched in this region by the company, and if the OnePlus Pad Pro nails the ‘price to performance’ ratio, it can be a spectacular hit amongst future buyers. Looking at the OnePlus Pad currently sold in the U.S., it is possible that the newer model will arrive in this market as the OnePlus Pad 2 to make it less confusing for customers.
The machine translation of the OnePlus Pad Pro teaser claims that it is the most powerful Android tablet. This boast suggests that it might be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. However, it is important to note that several tests consider the Dimensity 9300+ as the most powerful Android chipset at this time, and if the OnePlus Pad Pro wants to be sold at a competitive price, the company may have to switch to MediaTek’s current-generation flagship silicon.
However, the OnePlus Pad Pro might gain more traction in the U.S. if it switches to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 since buyers are more familiar with this SoC. While waiting for the upcoming tablet’s release is the prudent thing to do, if you cannot wait for the newer model, perhaps you could take a gander at the current one. Even now, the OnePlus Pad oozes incredible value for a premium Android tablet, as it retails for just $399.99 on Amazon and features impressive specifications such as MediaTek’s Dimensity 9000 and 8GB RAM. It also touts a large 11.61-inch IPS LCD screen that refreshes at 144Hz.
