If you’re looking for a high-performance tablet, you have two options: the Apple iPad Pro or the upcoming OnePlus Pad 2 Pro. The latter is expected to launch as a beefier version of the OnePlus Pad 2 in just a few weeks. If the leaked specifications prove accurate, this new device could become the most powerful Android tablet to date.
According to the leaker Digital Chat Station (via Android Headlines), the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro is anticipated to feature a 13.2-inch LCD with a 3.4K resolution. It will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, the same processor used in the Samsung Galaxy S25 series and the OnePlus 13. Additionally, the tablet is expected to come with 16GB of RAM and offer storage options of up to 1 TB.
The OnePlus Pad 2 Pro is also expected to have a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera.
Furthermore, while the new tablet is anticipated to include a substantial 10,000mAh battery, it is unclear whether it will support 67W or 80W wired charging. Notably, wireless charging is not expected to be included, which may not come as a surprise.
The OnePlus Pad Pro was launched in June and also boasts impressive specs. It features a large 12.1-inch LCD screen with a high-resolution display and a 144Hz refresh rate, delivering a smooth and vibrant visual experience. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, which offers various memory configurations, including ample RAM and storage options.
The OnePlus Pad Pro also has a 9510 mAh battery that supports fast charging, allowing for extended usage. It includes a 13-megapixel front and an 8-megapixel camera for photography and video calls. The device operates on ColorOS, which is based on Android and comes with features like Dolby Atmos quad speakers to enhance the audio experience.
No doubt, the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro will launch in China first, with an international release to follow.

New M4 iPad Air likely launching this week
We may be just days away from the launch of the first new iPad of 2025. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, an M4 iPad Air could be revealed this week. This new version is expected to arrive less than a year after the release of the M2 iPad Air (2024). The new tablet has long been anticipated, but little is known besides its likely chipset.
The M4 chip, which is also expected to appear on a new MacBook Air, which could also launch this week, was first introduced on the iPad Pro (2024). Since then, the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips have appeared on last year’s MacBook Pro.

Samsung’s mid-range tablet is getting an iPad Pro-rivaling spec
Samsung’s upcoming mid-range Android tablets, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and FE Plus, likely won’t launch until mid-2025. But months before their launch, speculations and leaks about the tablets are started to seep through. A fresh leak hints at the sizes of the two tablets, hinting the larger one out of the two could compete with tablets far above its rank, including the iPad Pro.
The Galaxy Tab S10 FE will retain a 10.9-inch display, as it with its predecessor, trusted leaker Roland Quandt shared in a post on Bluesky, an alternative to Elon Musk-owned X. Meanwhile, the bigger and the more powerful Tab S10 FE Plus will get its display bumped up to 13.1 inches, bringing it on par with options such as the iPad Air (M2) and iPad Pro, both of which have at least one variant with a 13-inch display.

A smaller OnePlus Watch 3 may be coming, but has a big challenge to overcome
The OnePlus Watch 3 is a great Wear OS smartwatch, with its claimed five-day battery that beats competitors like the Galaxy Watch 7 or Watch Ultra by a long margin. It isn’t perfect, though, and there are a few aspects where OnePlus could improve, and it’s working to address those in another model that should come this year.
A OnePlus representative recently confirmed a new OnePlus Watch — perhaps, a new variant of the Watch 3 — was being worked on. It may not launch immediately, but the brand is supposedly fixing two issues some people may currently have with the OnePlus Watch 3. With this iteration, we could see a smaller and lighter OnePlus Watch 3, while a new problem could emerge because of that. Let me discuss this below.
