A new OnePlus tablet is making headlines as it gets certified by the FCC under the name “OnePlus Pad 3R.” Though detailed specifications are non-existent in the listing, speculation is growing that OnePlus may mirror OPPO’s recently launched Pad 4 Pro. Reports suggest that the upcoming tablet could feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC and a sizable 13.2-inch display, continuing OnePlus’ trend of introducing powerful Android tablets to global markets.
The FCC listing was recently discovered and provides insights into the potential name for the tablet, the “OnePlus Pad 3R,” likely for its U.S. launch. However, an earlier leak referred to it as the “OnePlus Pad 2 Pro,” leading to questions about the accuracy of the final name. Regardless, the information available only hints at basic capabilities such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC without revealing any substantial specs.
Rumor has it that the new tablet will adopt key features from OPPO’s offerings. Expectations include a 13MP main camera and an 8MP front-facing camera along with a robust 12,140mAh battery that supports 67W wired fast charging. This aligns with the industry momentum towards featuring Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip in high-spec versions of tablets.
Historically, OnePlus has prioritized performance in its tablets. Both the Pad Pro and Pad 2 were equipped with flagship Qualcomm processors, highlighting the brand’s commitment to quality. The Pad Pro featured the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, whereas the Pad 2 offered similar enhancements despite not being a Pro model.
As OnePlus gears up for this next release, it appears to be steering back towards flagship specifications and capabilities, akin to OPPO’s strategy.
