The refresh rate wasn’t revealed in the shared tweet, but previous leaks suggest that the tablet could get a 120Hz panel.

The OnePlus Pad 5G is tipped to get 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage. No other variants have been mentioned in the leak, so it cannot be said if Oppo will sell it in multiple configurations. The tablet may get a massive 10,090mAh battery with support for 45-watt charging. It may also feature a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for authentication and a 3.5mm audio jack. Finally, OnePlus may ship it with Android 12 out of the box.

It’s 2025 and the OnePlus Pad 2 is still my favorite Android tablet

For decades, smartphones have progressively grown larger, and subsequently, so have tablets, and the lines between big phones and small tablets have grown progressively more blurry. Some companies make smaller phones or tablets, but these are exceptions to the rule.

A case in point is Samsung’s tablet portfolio. Samsung debuted the Galaxy Tab S10 series in October but dropped a replacement for the regular Galaxy Tab S9. The Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra pick up where their predecessors left off, but if you’re a Galaxy Tab S9 user, you’ll either have to buy the FE series or switch to an alternative.
