Key Takeaways
1. OnePlus launched the budget-friendly Pad Lite tablet globally, featuring a MediaTek Helio G100 processor and an 11-inch display with a 90 Hz refresh rate.
2. A new, more powerful tablet from OnePlus is expected to be announced soon, but details remain scarce.
3. The promotional campaign for the OnePlus 15R hints at the upcoming tablet, with a name reveal scheduled for later this month.
4. The new tablet is anticipated to launch around December 17, with an early bird campaign running until January 31, 2026.
5. Recent launches in China, particularly the OnePlus Tablet 2 with a 144 Hz display and MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Plus processor, may suggest that the global tablet could be a rebranded version of this device.
Over the summer, OnePlus launched the Pad Lite on a global scale. This tablet serves as a budget-friendly option compared to the Pad 2 and Pad 3 (currently listed at $629 on Amazon). The Pad Lite features MediaTek’s mid-range Helio G100 processor and boasts an 11-inch display with a 90 Hz refresh rate, along with other specifications we detailed in our review.
New Tablet on the Horizon
Currently, OnePlus is gearing up to announce another tablet backed by MediaTek, which is expected to be much more powerful than the OnePlus Pad Lite. At this stage, OnePlus is being quite tight-lipped about the specifics of the device. Interestingly, they have yet to release a teaser page, unlike what they have done for the OnePlus 15R and the upcoming ‘OnePlus New Watch’.
Mysterious Promotions
Instead, the term ‘OnePlus New Tablet’ has appeared in the promotional campaign for the OnePlus 15R. As shown in the screenshot below, OnePlus plans to unveil the name of this enigmatic tablet later this month. Furthermore, the promotional terms suggest that the tablet will be launched on or around December 17, with an early bird campaign concluding on January 31, 2026.
Early Revelation in China
While OnePlus is keeping its intentions under wraps, a recent launch in China might have unintentionally exposed their plans. Just a few weeks ago, the OnePlus Tablet 2 was introduced in China, featuring a 144 Hz display and a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Plus processor, along with other hardware elements. Therefore, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if the ‘OnePlus New Tablet’ turns out to be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Tablet 2 for global consumers, similar to what was done with the OnePlus Pad 3 previously.
