News & Reviews:   OnePlus Pad

For the first time ever, OnePlus launched its first tablet after many years in the industry. The OnePlus Pad looks like most tablets but its specifications look good. Without further ado, you can check out what the tablet has to offer. 

It seems more companies are getting into the tablet business. OnePlus is expected to launch its first tablet this week, with some renders already revealing some parts of the device. Now, sources have also confirmed some accessories that the OnePlus Pad would ship with.

Previously, we reported on OnePlus teasing its first-ever Android tablet with an official poster on its official Indian website. Now, the tablet has been confirmed to make its debut during OnePlus’ Cloud 11 event through an official poster which also revealed its name: OnePlus Pad.

The first rumour of OnePlus launching a tablet appeared back in mid-2021. After that, leaks continued to appear until this year's July, with the last claiming that the device was delayed until early 2023. Now, the rumour has returned, and it brings the same information.

We might be seeing a new OnePlus smartphone soon after the company was recently spotted receiving the mandatory 3C Certification in China for a device codenamed ‘PGKM10’. Shared by reliable tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the upcoming OnePlus device will feature the Dimensity 8100 chipset and a whopping 160W fast charging capabilities.

Previously, Oppo was reported to be including a 150W fast charging tech in its latest smartphone and it seems that OnePlus is one-upping its partner company in this regard. Furthermore, given the device has already passed 3C Certification, it is very likely that OnePlus would be releasing this PGKM10 device soon.

OnePlus has ventured into TVs, audio products and wearables besides smartphones, but never tablets. Earlier, the company got spotted trademarking the name "OnePlus Pad", hinting at the arrival of its first tablet. However, we haven't heard anything about it since then. Until now, we have the latest information claiming that the tablet is scheduled to launch in H1 2022.

OnePlus started as a smartphone-only brand but has recently entered other markets with smartwatches, TVs, and other tech gadgets like power banks, earphones and more. To further expand its product categories, the company is said to launch its first tablet very soon.
