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.

The iPad is finally getting the Affinity app creatives have been asking for

Affinity brings photo editing, vector design, page layout, and sketching together in one free iPad app.

Affinity UI on iPad

Affinity’s new all-in-one creative app is finally coming to the iPad, nearly a year after Canva launched the redesigned desktop version for Mac and Windows. Creatives have been asking for the iPad release ever since, especially because files created in the new Affinity app cannot be opened in the older V2 iPad apps.

Affinity already has Photo, Designer, and Publisher apps on iPad, but the new release combines those tools into the same unified app that Canva launched on desktop last year.

Apple’s “Pro and Tell” October 28 event: Everything we expect from touchscreen MacBooks to a new iMac

Prepare for a touchscreen MacBook that costs around $3,000.

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.

The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).

Apple will only give you the fastest iPad mini chip if you pay $999, or more

The full A20 Pro experience on Apple’s new iPad mini is reserved for buyers spending at least $999.

Apple iPad mini with 6-core CPU

Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet. In fact, even if you pay $800 for the 256GB model, you still won’t get the beefiest variant. Only when you jump to the 512GB trim, which costs an absurd $999, do you get the most powerful flavor of the A20 Pro.

The $999 model gets more than extra storage
