OnePlus uses the tag line “Never Settle,” but we’ve always had to settle for buying Android tablets from another brand because OnePlus doesn’t sell tablets. However, a new trademark suggests that may be about to change.
As 9To5Google reports, a trademark for “OnePlus Pad” has become publicly visible on the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) website after being filed back in January. As it’s purely a trademark listing there’s little detail as to what product this name relates to, but it would be surprising if it wasn’t a tablet, and one that runs Android. The only other hint the trademark gives is the fact it’s a class 9 device, which is for computer devices including desktop PCs, laptops, and of course, tablets.
The next obvious question to ask is what form this OnePlus Tab tablet would take? Is OnePlus aiming to compete with the budget, mid-range, or high-end tablet devices on the market? Is this going to be an iPad or iPad Pro competitor?
Back in March, Gizmochina reported that Oppo is planning to launch a tablet and a notebook before the end of 2021. With the recent talk of “further integration” between OnePlus and Oppo, and OnePlus becoming a sub-brand of Oppo, it adds more fuel to the fire that a OnePlus Pad Android tablet is set to launch in the next few months. Who knows, we could get a full range of OnePlus Pad-branded devices to suit every budget.
