OnePlus Pad Lite Design, Specs, and Features Revealed; Expected to Launch in India Under ₹20,000
When it comes to design, the look is inspired by the ones currently available in the Pad series, contrasting with the most recent Pad 3. It features a round-shaped rear camera setup placed in the middle on the back panel with the OnePlus logo sitting at the bottom middle.
The USB Type-C port and speaker grilles are located at the right edge. Measuring 254.9 x 166.5 x 7.4mm and weighing 539g, the Pad Lite is slightly taller, wider, and thinner than the Pad Go, while also being lighter. It will be available in a refreshing Aero Blue colour option, and OnePlus will also offer a matching folio cover that doubles as a kickstand, expected to be sold separately.
As for the specs, the OnePlus Pad Lite is equipped with an 11-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1920×1080 along with a 90Hz refresh rate. Though slightly smaller and with a lower resolution than the Pad Go, the screen still supports a smooth user experience. Under the hood, it gets powered by a MediaTek Helio G100 SoC along with a Mali G57 GPU.
The chipset is an upgrade over the Pad Go’s Helio G99 processor and will offer improved power efficiency and support higher-resolution cameras. There’s 6GB RAM and 128GB storage in this model, with possibly other variants at the time of the launch.
Camera duties will be handled by 5MP sensors on both front and rear, compared to the 8MP units found on the Pad Go. The tablet will house a larger 9,340mAh battery and run OxygenOS 15.0.1 based on Android 15. Connectivity options include support for cellular networks and Wi-Fi 5. While pricing details are yet to be confirmed, it is expected to retail under ₹20,000, similar to its predecessor. The launch timeline and availability remain undisclosed for now.
