OnePlus Pad 2 Specs Leak Ahead of July 16 Launch
OnePlus is gearing up to unveil its latest tablet, the OnePlus Pad 2, at its Summer Launch event in Milan on July 16. While the company has been tight-lipped about the device's specifications, a recent leak has shed light on what we can expect from this upcoming tablet.
Powerful Performance
According to the leak, the OnePlus Pad 2 will be powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. This industry-leading chip should provide ample power for demanding tasks and multitasking. The tablet is rumored to come in two memory configurations:
- 8GB RAM / 128GB storage
- 12GB RAM / 256GB storage
Impressive Display
The OnePlus Pad 2 is said to feature a 12.1-inch LCD display with the following specifications:
- 3000 x 2120 pixel resolution
- 144Hz refresh rate
- 900 nits peak brightness
- Dolby Vision support
- 7:5 aspect ratio
This high-refresh-rate screen should offer smooth scrolling and responsive touch input, while the Dolby Vision support will enhance the visual experience for supported content.
Audio and Camera
The leak suggests that the OnePlus Pad 2 will come equipped with six speakers, likely to provide an immersive audio experience. For photography and video calls, the tablet is expected to feature:
- 13MP primary rear camera
- 8MP front-facing camera
Battery and Charging
Powering the device will be a large 9,510 mAh battery. The OnePlus Pad 2 is also rumored to support 67W wired fast charging, which should help quickly top up the battery when needed.
Accessories
OnePlus is expected to launch the following accessories alongside the Pad 2:
- OnePlus Stylo 2 stylus
- Smart Keyboard
- Folio Case
Familiar Territory
Interestingly, the leaked specifications closely match those of the China-exclusive OnePlus Pad Pro. This suggests that the OnePlus Pad 2 may be a rebranded version of the Pad Pro for global markets, rather than an entirely new device.
The OnePlus Summer Launch event will also showcase other products, including the Nord 4 smartphone, Nord Buds 3 Pro earphones, and the Watch 2R. Tech enthusiasts can tune in to the live stream on July 16 at 9 AM EDT to get all the official details on these upcoming devices.
