OnePlus is set to unveil its Pad 3 tablet globally next week. Similar to its previous tablets, the OnePlus Pad 3 will likely have a sizable display, probably around 13.2 inches. However, a recent leak suggests that the company might also be planning a smaller tablet.
New Developments
According to a post on Weibo by leaker Smart Pikachu, OnePlus is exploring the idea of a new compact tablet. The leaker didn’t provide further details, but this device probably won’t be introduced until late this year, provided it receives the go-ahead for production.
Rising Trend in Compact Tablets
Compact tablets have gained popularity recently. Lenovo has just launched the Legion Y700 in China, while both Xiaomi and RedMagic are anticipated to reveal small tablets in June, with iQOO expected to follow suit in the latter half of the year. It makes sense for OnePlus to consider entering this market. Similar to OnePlus’s other tablet launches, this smaller tablet may first be released as an Oppo product, before being branded with the OnePlus name in China and possibly worldwide.
Future Phones on the Horizon
In addition to tablets, the leaker also mentioned that OnePlus is developing both the OnePlus 14 and Ace6 series. This might suggest that the next flagship phone could be called the OnePlus 14 instead of the previously rumored OnePlus 15. All of these upcoming devices are likely to be revealed in the last quarter of the year, featuring 1.5K displays—a minor downgrade from the WQHD+ screen found on the OnePlus 13.
