Oppo recently launched the Pad 3, which became the first Android tablet to feature the Dimensity 8350 chipset. This MediaTek SoC is an upgraded version of the Dimensity 8300, offering better performance. The eight-core processor comes with the new StarSpeed Engine, aimed at improving gaming performance. According to the company, this engine increases energy efficiency by 10% and boosts scene transition speeds by 24%. Now, this tablet has been rebranded as the OnePlus Pad 2024, but all the main specifications remain unchanged.
OnePlus Pad 2024 Specifications
The new OnePlus Pad is slim and lightweight, measuring just 6.29 mm in thickness and weighing around 533 grams. Its sleek design makes it easy to carry, perfect for users on the go. The OnePlus Pad 2024 features an 11.61-inch LCD, offering a peak brightness of 700 nits, a 144 Hz refresh rate, and a wide DCI-P3 color coverage. This display promises smooth visuals and vibrant colors. On the back, the design is almost identical to the previous model, with a circular camera island that houses an 8 MP sensor for decent photo quality.
Battery life is another major highlight of the OnePlus Pad 2024. It comes with a 9,520 mAh battery, which supports 67W fast charging. The company claims that a full charge allows for up to 16 hours of video playback. In terms of software, the tablet runs on ColorOS 15, based on Android 15, but the global version may use OxygenOS 15 instead.
The OnePlus Pad 2024 also supports a stylus, has an 8 MP front camera, and supports WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 for fast and stable connectivity. The starting price of the tablet in China is CNY 1,999 (around $273). Although there is no official word on its global release yet, it could make its international debut at the upcoming OnePlus 13 global launch event.
What is the Point of the New Tablet?
This is a rather intriguing release, we have to agree. The original OnePlus Pad is a rebadged Oppo Pad 2. Now, this one is an Oppo Pad 3 with a different name. What is the exact point of launching the same set of specs with a different name? Perhaps, OnePlus‘ name may have more appeal. Another possibility is that this one will debut outside of China. Only the two brands have the answer and we will have to wait for further details.
