If you’re looking for a high-performance tablet, you have two options: the Apple iPad Pro or the upcoming OnePlus Pad 2 Pro. The latter is expected to launch as a beefier version of the OnePlus Pad 2 in just a few weeks . If the leaked specifications prove accurate, this new device could become the most powerful Android tablet to date.

According to the leaker Digital Chat Station (via Android Headlines ), the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro is anticipated to feature a 13.2-inch LCD with a 3.4K resolution. It will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, the same processor used in the Samsung Galaxy S25 series and the OnePlus 13 . Additionally, the tablet is expected to come with 16GB of RAM and offer storage options of up to 1 TB.

The OnePlus Pad 2 Pro is also expected to have a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera.

Furthermore, while the new tablet is anticipated to include a substantial 10,000mAh battery, it is unclear whether it will support 67W or 80W wired charging. Notably, wireless charging is not expected to be included, which may not come as a surprise.

The OnePlus Pad Pro was launched in June and also boasts impressive specs. It features a large 12.1-inch LCD screen with a high-resolution display and a 144Hz refresh rate, delivering a smooth and vibrant visual experience. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, which offers various memory configurations, including ample RAM and storage options.

The OnePlus Pad Pro also has a 9510 mAh battery that supports fast charging, allowing for extended usage. It includes a 13-megapixel front and an 8-megapixel camera for photography and video calls. The device operates on ColorOS, which is based on Android and comes with features like Dolby Atmos quad speakers to enhance the audio experience.

No doubt, the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro will launch in China first, with an international release to follow.

OnePlus says small watch ‘sweet spot’ is 43mm, but it’s bigger than Apple, Samsung and Google

We find out why this smartwatch is on the larger side of small

OnePlus Watch 3 43mm worn on a wrist

We loved the OnePlus Watch 3, it's our best Android smartwatch, but for all its excellent attributes there was one disappointment. The size.

More specifically, the lack of size options. The Watch 3 arrived in a single, 47mm body size. Great for those with large wrists looking for a sizable timepiece, but it alienated buyers looking for a compact offering.

Apple’s new iPadOS 26 shows Google what Android tablets need

Since the launch of the first iPad, Android tablets have struggled to compete. A lack of optimized apps means that Android tablets still don’t offer as seamless a transition to larger displays, which also impacts the best folding phones, where many apps don’t take advantage of the larger displays.

However, one area where Android tablets have outperformed the iPad is in productivity and multitasking. Samsung’s DeX desktop mode has been key to ensuring that some Android tablets offer a desktop-like experience, albeit one that needs more optimized applications. Last week, OnePlus also joined the party with the innovative Open Canvas system on the OnePlus Pad 3.

The OnePlus Pad 3 is one of the best tablets I’ve used, here’s why

Android smartphones have long competed with, and in some cases, surpassed, the iPhone, but the same can’t be said for tablets. Android makers have long harbored ambitions to compete with the iPad in the category that Apple created, dating back to the launch of the first Galaxy Tab, which occurred 15 years ago.

Yet, the iPad remains the best tablet for most people. The iPad Pro M4 ushered in the tandem OLED era as Apple stacked two OLED displays for an incredibly immersive experience. The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra was the first to compete and offers the same great experience you can find on Galaxy phones, but with a few compromises.
