Information regarding the OnePlus Pad 2, the successor to the initial OnePlus Pad, emerged a couple of months ago, suggesting that the tablet would debut in the latter half of 2024. However, according to Insider Digital Chat Station, the tablet's launch has been postponed, with no specific timeframe provided. The cause of the delay remains undisclosed.
Details about the OnePlus Pad 2 emerged a couple of months ago, revealing it would feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. Recently, the tablet identified by the model number OPD2404, appeared on Geekbench, confirming this chip.
The Geekbench listing also reveals that the tablet will have 8GB of RAM and run Android 14. Given that the OPPO Pad 2 had similar specifications to the original OnePlus Pad, it's likely that the OnePlus Pad 2 and the upcoming OPPO Pad 3 will also share similar specs.

Additionally, the leak suggests that the launch of the OPPO Pad 3 is also postponed. According to the latest information from Digital Chat Station, the tablet is expected to sport a 12.1-inch 3K LCD screen with a resolution of 3000 x 2120 pixels, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, offering up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage.
