OnePlus, renowned for its innovative smartphones, is gearing up to introduce a new Android tablet to the Indian market. The teaser, recently shared by OnePlus India on its social media platform X (formerly Twitter), has generated significant anticipation among tech enthusiasts.
The teaser image offers a tantalizing glimpse of the upcoming tablet’s design. It showcases a rear camera positioned at the top center of the device, with the OnePlus logo prominently displayed in the middle. This distinctive arrangement confirms that the device in question is not a smartphone but, indeed, a tablet. While the teaser has stirred excitement, OnePlus has remained tight-lipped about specific details regarding the tablet’s features and specifications.
Although OnePlus has not officially revealed the tablet’s name, rumors have circulated about a potential device referred to as the “OnePlus Pad Go.” If these speculations hold true, it suggests that OnePlus is venturing into the budget-friendly tablet segment, expanding its product lineup to cater to a broader audience.
OnePlus’ existing tablet offering in India, known as the “OnePlus Pad,” boasts premium features that include a Dolby Vision display, Dolby Atmos-tuned speakers, and a high-performance 5G chipset. However, these features come at a premium price point. The upcoming “OnePlus Pad Go” is expected to deliver a more budget-conscious alternative with slightly scaled-down specifications. It’s worth noting that this affordable tablet may not support OnePlus’ stylus, further positioning it as a cost-effective choice in a competitive market filled with budget-friendly tablet options from brands like Realme and Lenovo.
While concrete information about the “OnePlus Pad Go” remains elusive, it’s possible that OnePlus may adopt a different nomenclature for its budget tablet. The use of “Go” in the name would be a departure from OnePlus’ previous product naming conventions. The smartphone lineup, for instance, features the “Nord” branding for products aimed at the mass market. Therefore, it’s conceivable that the tablet range might follow suit, potentially leading to a name like the “OnePlus Nord Pad.”
For those curious about OnePlus’ current tablet offering in India, the existing “OnePlus Pad” features an 11.6-inch LCD display with a remarkable 144Hz refresh rate and 500 nits of brightness. Under the hood, it houses a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset, complemented by 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The tablet is equipped with an ARM G&10 MC10 GPU and boasts a robust 9510mAh battery with support for 67W SuperVOOC fast charging. The “OnePlus Pad” is currently available for purchase in India at a price point of Rs 37,999.
As OnePlus expands its product portfolio, the forthcoming tablet release promises to provide consumers with an exciting new option in the Indian tablet market.
