OnePlus Pad is said to be in the works. According to the latest report by MySmartPrice, a OnePlus device with “Aries” codename is being privately tested in India. The report claims that the device could be the first tablet from OnePlus. While the official moniker of the device is not known, the device is tentatively called the OnePlus Pad.
A report that was published in May 2022 also claimed that the internal testing of the OnePlus Pad has already started in India. However, the rumour mill did not reveal anything about it in the following months. In fact, reliable tipster Max Jambor claimed in November that the OnePlus’ tablet would launch in 2023. Since a new report claims that it is being tested again, it appears that the company may unveil it in the coming months.
