OnePlus may launch small Android tablet for gamers

OnePlus is reportedly working on a new 8-inch Android tablet designed for gaming, according to a recent leak. While details are limited, this move could make OnePlus a strong player in the compact tablet market, which is seeing a revival. The tablet is said to feature an 8.X-inch display with a high 165Hz refresh rate and a sharp “3k” resolution, ideal for smooth and vibrant gaming visuals.

This follows a trend of smaller tablets gaining popularity. Lenovo’s Legion Tab (Gen 3) has already hit the global market, and Redmagic plans to launch its 9-inch “Astra” gaming tablet in July. OnePlus, known for its powerful yet affordable smartphones, could offer a compelling alternative to devices like the iPad Mini, especially for mobile gamers. However, there’s uncertainty about whether this tablet will be available worldwide.

OnePlus has restricted some recent products, like the OnePlus 13T, to specific markets, so this gaming tablet might not reach all regions. Meanwhile, OnePlus is also preparing to release the 11-inch OnePlus Pad Lite in July, aimed at budget-conscious buyers. This rumored tablet could build on OnePlus’ reputation for delivering high-performance devices at competitive prices. Fans of compact, gaming-focused tablets are eager to see if OnePlus can deliver a standout product in this growing niche.
