The Oppo Pad 2’s looks could tell us a lot about how the OnePlus Pad runs
These days, we’re used to seeing OnePlus phones taking on the shape and specs of the devices from its corporate parentOppo. With the case of the upcomingOnePlus Pad, it’s been more of a “tail wagging the dog” situation since we haven’t heard anything about an Oppo Pad 2. And as the originalOppo Padcame into existence last February, it wouldn’t make sense to expect one without the other. Fittingly, we’re now hearing a few details about a sequel to complement the debutant and we also get to see the debutant while we’re at it.
Digital Chat Stationreports on Weibo (viaSlashleaks) that this Oppo Pad 2 will feature an LCD spanning 11" or so with a resolution of 2800 x 200 and a top refresh rate of 144Hz. It’s also expected to be a tank in the power department with a 9,500mAh battery and support for 67W wired charging.
There’s a picture to go along with the payload, but instead of the Oppo Pad 2, we see what’s claimed to be the OnePlus Pad — the source says the new Oppo Pad is supposed to look like its sibling.Renders derived from CAD modelsput out earlier this week indicate that there’s not much to get excited about.
The original Oppo Pad had a little spice to its design with a portion of the rear surface featuring matte engravings of differing sorts. Its screen also sized out at around 11", but had an 8:5 display. Buyers in China also got an “Oppo Pencil” stylus as well as a magnetic keyboard folio.
Hopefully OnePlus does consider hitting the hat trick and not just giving us — geographically, we’re not quite sure what “us” means just yet — a plain ol' washing board to think about come February 7, when itsCloud 11 eventis set to take place.
