What will the new OnePlus Pad 2 tablet bring us?

Could the OnePlus Pad 2 finally challenge Samsung's dominance of high-end Android tablets?

After surprising the market with the well-received OnePlus Pad, OnePlus could begin attacking Samsung's dominance of high-end Android tablets. If the first hints are true, the upcoming OnePlus Pad 2 could finally fill the void in the market and present itself as a real competitor to the Galaxy Tab.

Tech journalist Max Jambor, who previously hinted that the OnePlus Pad 2 would be released in the second half of 2024, has now revealed that the upcoming tablet will be based on Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. This powerful processor powers the flagship smartphones of 2024 , such as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, and will also power the upcoming Galaxy Tab S10 series of tablets.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is a huge leap over the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9000 processor found in the original OnePlus Pad. The flagship chipset could pave the way for other interesting upgrades, such as a potential switch from LCD to AMOLED, a feature of Samsung's high-end tablets.

Čeprav bi te nadgradnje lahko povzročile višjo ceno tablice OnePlus Pad 2, bi lahko podjetje še vedno našlo način, kako ponuditi prepričljivo vrednost v primerjavi s Samsungovo ponudbo. Druga možnost je, da podjetje OnePlus uporabi svojo strategijo za pametne telefone in izda cenovno ugodnejšo različico “R” tabličnega računalnika OnePlus Pad 2. Za zdaj lahko le ugibamo.

The OnePlus Pad 2 is expected to launch in the second half of 2024, which could follow Samsung's Galaxy Tab S10 series, which is expected to be announced in July.
