- It is expected that the successor to the first OnePlus Pad may launch later than its predecessor.
- A reliable source suggests the OnePlus Pad 2 will debut later in 2024, but details are still scarce.
- While exact specs are unclear, hints about the OPPO Pad 3 point to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which could suggest the OnePlus Pad 2 has similar capabilities.
It looks like OnePlus is working on a next-gen version of last year’s OnePlus Pad, and there’s some word on when it will be available.
The first-generation OnePlus Pad is expected to be followed by a follow-up, which is expected to be released later than the first version. However, details about its exact release date or any specifications and features are still under wraps for now.
That said, famous tipster Max Jambor on X (formerly Twitter) has hinted that the OnePlus Pad 2 will debut in the second half of 2024. However, the leaker lacks any further information about the tablet.
OnePlus Pad2 will launch in the second half of 2024April 12, 2024
As a quick refresher, the original OnePlus Pad was launched in China as the OPPO Pad 2 just a month after its global release. Now, the big question is whether we’ll see a similar move on the OnePlus Pad 2.
Hopefully, the OnePlus Pad 2 improves on where the first generation fell short, especially in terms of processing power and overall productivity experience.
While exact specs are still under wraps, there is a potential hint at the OPPO Pad 3. This is important because keep in mind that the OnePlus Pad is essentially a global version of the China-exclusive OPPO Pad 2.
So, according to leaker Digital Chat Station (via TechRadar), if the OnePlus Pad 2 follows the OPPO Pad 3’s lead, it’s likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
Waiting until the fall or winter to launch a follow-up to a device launched in February 2023 and released just two months later might be a bit disappointing. However, it’s reassuring to know that OnePlus isn’t giving up on the tablet market, nor is it slowing down in its long-running battle with some popular Android tablets.
