    OnePlus Pad Pro: New Tablet with 67W Charging Coming Soon

    We know that the launch of OPPO’s Pad often coincides with a new tablet release from its sub-brand, OnePlus. The OnePlus Pad 2 is expected to hit the global market soon, while an identical device will launch in China as the OPPO Pad 3. But the spotlight is on the even more intriguing OnePlus Pad Pro.

    A device with the model number “OPD2401” has recently been certified on China’s 3C website. The certification reveals that the upcoming tablet will include a charging adapter model “VCB70ACH,” which supports 67W fast charging. According to TheTechOutlook, this device is the OnePlus Pad Pro.

    A First for OnePlus

    This development is quite exciting as it marks the introduction of OnePlus’s first-ever "Pro" tablet. Currently, OnePlus offers two different tablets globally: the OnePlus Pad and the OnePlus Pad Go. It’s worth noting that the OnePlus Pad also supports 67W charging. While the OnePlus Pad Pro doesn’t offer a significant upgrade in charging speed, a “Pro” tablet typically means enhanced features such as better speakers and a superior display. This makes it an excellent device for both productivity and media consumption.

    OnePlus Pad Pro Specifications

    The marketing name of the tablet is still unconfirmed, but Chinese sources suggest it will be called the OnePlus Pad Pro. Another detail about the alleged OnePlus Pad Pro is its inclusion of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, ensuring that it will be a powerful tablet.

    OnePlus Ace 3 Pro Box Leaked, Launch Date Nears

    We can anticipate the launch of the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro very soon, as images of its packaging have surfaced online. The phone is expected to premiere in China, potentially as early as July.

    The "OnePlus Ace" series is renowned for its robust performance, albeit not excelling in the camera domain. The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro is anticipated to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a detail that the leaked packaging seems to confirm.

    OnePlus Ace 3 Pro

    Rumors about the phone have been circulating online, and a recent update has unveiled the box of the forthcoming device. The phone will be encased in the classic red OnePlus packaging, and the label on the box confirms a variant with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, along with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.

    Typically, entry-level or mid-range phones feature large batteries, but OnePlus appears to be taking a different approach with the Ace 3 Pro. Despite its powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, the phone will feature a massive 6100 mAh battery. This substantial battery is to be manufactured by CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited). Consistent with previous OnePlus models, the device will sport a dual-cell battery, with each cell having a 2970 mAh capacity, totaling a rated capacity of 5940 mAh and a typical capacity of 6100 mAh.

  • OnePlus Ace 3 Pro: 6100mAh Battery, 100W Charging

    OnePlus Ace 3 Pro: 6100mAh Battery, 100W Charging

    OnePlus is expected to unveil the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro flagship phone in China this July. Following the earlier release of the Ace 3 and Ace 3V models this year, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro will be the third device within the Ace 3 lineup. As a Pro variant, it is set to be the most advanced phone in the series. A recent Weibo post by trusted tipster Digital Chat Station indicates that its battery and charging features will remain unrivaled for a significant period.

    OnePlus Ace 3 Pro Battery and Charging Capabilities (Rumored)

    Digital Chat Station (DCS) reports that the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro will be the first smartphone to boast a 6,100mAh ultra-high-density battery. This cutting-edge battery technology is supported by Ningde Times, also known as CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited), a leading battery manufacturer.

    Earlier, the tipster had disclosed that the Ace 3 Pro would feature a dual-cell battery configuration, with each cell having a rated capacity of 2,970mAh, leading to a combined rated capacity of 5,940mAh. The overall typical value of the battery is anticipated to be 6,100mAh.

    Codenamed “Dayu” internally, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro will support 100W fast charging. The combination of its substantial battery capacity and rapid charging speed distinguishes it from its competitors, who are not expected to match these specifications anytime soon. Competing devices either offer larger batteries but slower charging speeds or faster charging speeds but smaller batteries.

    Additional Specifications

    Rumors also suggest that the Ace 3 Pro will sport a 6.78-inch curved-edge OLED LTPO display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone will feature a 16-megapixel front camera and a triple camera setup at the back, including a 50-megapixel main sensor with OIS, an 8-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro sensor.

    Under the hood, the device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, paired with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. It will feature a metal middle frame and be available in different back options, including glass, leather, and ceramic.

    Xiaomi is working on two foldable phones, namely the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 and the Mix Flip, targeting the Chinese market. The Mix Fold 4 might debut next month (July) as it has already secured approval from China’s 3C certification platform.

    According to DCS, the Xiaomi Mix Flip will boast a large-sized cover display, enabling screen rotation to cater to both left- and right-handed users. The device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, currently the most powerful on the market. This chipset promises a performance boost of roughly 50 percent compared to other flip-style foldable phones, with significantly advanced AI capabilities.

    Shown above is a schematic of the Mix Flip shared by DCS. Its cover display is notably large and could be around 4 inches, similar to the Honor Magic V Flip’s cover screen. It features dual rings, with the first ring housing an LED flash and a camera, and the second ring containing a second rear-facing camera. Additionally, it will be the only foldable phone with an external earpiece, enhancing its functional capabilities.

    Photography and Additional Features

    The Mix Flip will stand out in the foldable phone category due to its superior camera performance. Previous reports indicate that the device will feature a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS support and a 60-megapixel OmniVision OV60A telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom.

  • OnePlus Ace 3 Pro to Feature Bugatti Veyron-Inspired Ceramic Back

    OnePlus Ace 3 Pro to Feature Bugatti Veyron-Inspired Ceramic Back

    The schematics for the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro were leaked online a few days ago. Recently, the phone received 3C certification at the end of last month. Rumors now suggest that it will feature a ceramic back and a metal middle frame.

    OnePlus Ace 3 Pro’s New Materials

    Well-known tipster Digital Chat Station shared this information in a Weibo post. Another rumor on the platform indicated that many new devices in 2024 will use this new material. According to DCS, OnePlus plans to use a hot forging process for the ceramic back plate, which he mentioned will be white. Though, it might not be a pure white but a different shade.

    The inspiration for using ceramic reportedly comes from the ceramic version of the Bugatti Veyron. DCS also noted that the ceramic back plate will have a unique texture.

    DCS has pointed out that this phone will be the first to feature a metal middle frame combined with a ceramic back plate.

    Ceramic Build Details

    Ceramic is generally heavier than glass, so the phone might be slightly heavier. The new material is also more costly than glass, which could make the ceramic version more expensive. However, it’s important to note that this is still a rumor, and the company might cancel the ceramic plans.

    Internal Specifications

    Internally, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, last year’s flagship chipset from Qualcomm. It may feature a triple camera setup on the back with 50MP + 8MP + 2MP sensors and a 16MP front camera. The display could be a 6.78-inch BOE 8T LTPO screen with a 1.5K resolution.

    A previous rumor suggested that the phone would have a massive 6100mAh battery and support 100W wired fast charging.

    Alleged Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 Bags MIIT Certification

    Recently, a device with the model number 24072PX77C received network access certification from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). This phone supports various standards, including NR SA/NR NSA/TD-LTE/LTE FDD/WCDMA/CDMA 1X/GSM.

    Besides, it features Tiantong satellite connectivity and Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) technology. eMBB, a 5G service category, offers higher bandwidth and lower latency compared to 4G services, enabling applications like 8K video streaming and immersive virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).

    According to Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, the model number corresponds to the Mix Fold 4. The phone might also support 5.5G or 5G-Advanced, which is an evolution of 5G technology enhancing speed, latency, and efficiency.

    The phone will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, the same one found in many flagship devices like the Xiaomi 14 series. It will feature a 5000mAh battery (2390mAh + 2485mAh) and support both wired and wireless fast charging. Although the exact charging speed isn’t confirmed, a previous leak suggested it might offer upgraded 100W wired fast charging. For context, the Mix Fold 3 had 67W wired and 50W wireless fast charging.

    The Mix Fold 4 is expected to sport a 50MP quad camera setup, including a 5X periscope telephoto lens, similar to its predecessor. The main and ultrawide sensors could be the OV50E and OV13B respectively. The Mix Fold 3 had a 3.2x telephoto and a 5x periscope telephoto. According to ITHome, the 3.2x telephoto might be replaced by a 2x one, with the 2x and 5x telephoto modules featuring OV60A and S5K3K1 sensors respectively.

  • OnePlus Pad 2 to Feature Industry Firsts, Teases OnePlus President

    OnePlus Pad 2 to Feature Industry Firsts, Teases OnePlus President

    Li Jie, the President of OnePlus China, recently shared insights about the forthcoming OnePlus Pad 2 via a post on Weibo, a popular Chinese microblogging platform. He highlighted that the Pad 2 will feature several industry-first innovations. "I was in a meeting with IoT partners. They have created many unique products in many industries," he mentioned, but refrained from disclosing specific details about the product itself.

    Storage Configurations and Color Options

    Recent rumors suggest that the Pad 2 will be available in four storage variants: 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB, and 16GB+512GB. Additionally, it will come in two color choices: space gray and fresh khaki green. The leaks also indicate that the device might be released as soon as this month.

    Weighing in at 585 grams, the Pad 2 is slightly heavier than its predecessor, the OnePlus Pad, which was launched in April last year and weighed 552 grams.

    Performance and Specifications

    The OnePlus Pad 2 has already been spotted on Geekbench with the model number "OP2404," confirming that it will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 flagship chipset. This gives the device a performance edge over its competitors. As hinted by the president, the tablet could feature software optimizations that leverage this raw power. For context, last year’s OnePlus Pad was equipped with the 4nm Dimensity 9000, a flagship chipset released in late 2021.

    The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 features a Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.3GHz, five Cortex A720 cores (three clocked at 3.2GHz and two at 3.0 GHz), and two power-efficient Cortex A-520 cores clocked at 2.3GHz. It incorporates the Adreno 750 GPU. In Geekbench tests, it scores over 2000 points in single-core and over 7000 points in multi-core tests, slightly trailing behind the Dimensity 9300.

    Display and Battery

    Externally, the OnePlus Pad 2 is expected to sport a 12.1″ 3K (3000 x 2120) LCD display, with a pixel density of 304 PPI and a peak brightness of 900 nits. The device is also rumored to include a 9510mAh battery with 67W charging support, identical to its predecessor. Given that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is more powerful yet also based on a 4nm process, it will be interesting to see how the Pad 2’s battery life compares to the previous model while introducing some industry-first features.

This year, Realme has introduced the Realme GT Neo 6 SE and GT Neo 6 phones in China. Initially, rumors suggested that the upcoming Realme flagship would be named the Realme GT 6.

    However, leaked information from Smart Pikachu indicates that the brand might abandon the Realme GT 6 moniker in favor of calling it the Realme GT 7. It’s worth noting that the GT 7 name has not been officially confirmed yet.

Both phones are equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and 1.5K resolution screens (one curved and one flat). They also support 100W fast charging, with Realme’s charging being marginally faster and OnePlus featuring a slightly larger battery.

    Moreover, both models come with a dedicated graphics chip and comprehensive cooling systems. For those not focused on camera performance and looking at a price range of around 3000 Yuan ($420), these two phones present good options. Consequently, it seems that the Ace 3 Pro and GT 7 could be priced between 3,000 Yuan ($420) and 4,000 Yuan (~$560). Both phones are expected to be unveiled in July.
