OnePlus Pad Tablet Leaks To Try Where Other Android Slates Failed – SlashGear

OnePlus has been expanding its lineup in recent years, with the release of the OnePlus Buds, as well as more budget-orientated Nord phones. Now, according to leaks from MySmartPrice and @OnLeaks on Twitter, OnePlus is planning on releasing a premium Android tablet as soon as February 7, 2023. While it’s unsurprising that OnePlus is releasing a tablet, the few specs we do know about the OnePlus Pad are fairly compelling. 

The leak claims that the new tablet will feature an 11.6-inch display, a metal unibody chassis, and seems to feature a silo to house a stylus. Other than that, the only other details that were revealed are a center-mounted circular rear camera bump and rounded screen corners.

The size and presence of a stylus in the OnePlus Pad instantly draws comparisons to something like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus, since it’s playing in the same 11-inch form factor and features Samsung’s excellent S Pen. If leaks are accurate, OnePlus is going to have to deliver on the performance and software front if it wants to compete with Samsung’s Galaxy Tab. 

Samsung has done a lot of work to perfect the hardware and software formula on its larger devices, and they’re finally in a place where Apple might have some serious competition. One place where OnePlus might put significant pressure on Samsung is price, since the devices in the Galaxy Tab S8 lineup command a premium of over $800.
