OnePlus teases its first tablet ahead of next month’s official reveal
The OnePlus Pad has a centered rear camera and “Halo Green” finish.
A OnePlus tablet is on the way. A new official image of the upcoming OnePlus Pad surfaced, showing a “Halo Green” color and an unconventional camera placement. The tablet will reportedly launch alongside the OnePlus 11 5G and Buds Pro 2 at a February 7th event.
The lone image, posted on OnePlus’ official India website, reveals a green finish with a centered rear camera. It’s reportedly an aluminum alloy body with a cambered (gently sloped like older iPads) frame. In some impressively flowery marketing copy, OnePlus told TechRadar the green hue “blends the vibrancy of life with the vastness of space.” Unfortunately, we don’t yet know about other color options, full specs or pricing.

This year may be a renaissance for Android tablets. In addition to OnePlus’ upcoming slate, Google teased its Pixel Tablet at two 2022 events. The device, arriving sometime this year, will attach to a speaker base while running the Tensor G2 chip from its latest flagship phones. It will follow the ill-fated Pixel Slate, which Google discontinued in 2020 after only two years. The consumer tablet market is dominated by Apple’s iPad, with Samsung and Amazon offering the most popular Android-running alternatives.
