The recently launched Ace 5 Ultra and OnePlus Pad 3 both featured 144Hz panels, which are OnePlus’s highest refresh rate devices to date.
Now, OnePlus is getting ready to control more mobile gaming. A new leak suggests that the company may soon launch a gaming tablet and its first smartphone specifically designed for gaming. OnePlus has been releasing high-performance phones up to this point, but this will be the first time the company is creating devices just for gamers. As to the source, these gadgets might have a display with a refresh rate of 165 Hz.
Chinese tipster Smart Pikachu revealed on Weibo that OnePlus is presently developing a high-end gaming tablet and high-end gaming smartphone. The newly released Ace 5 Ultra and OnePlus Pad 3 both featured 144Hz panels, which are OnePlus’s highest refresh rate devices to date. But the company might be preparing to offer even more this time, such as a 165Hz display.
Although the exact processor that will be in these devices is not known, recent trends indicate that they will likely use top-tier processors like the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ or Snapdragon 8 Elite. Devices like the Ace 5 Ultra and OnePlus 13 have already made use of these chipsets. AI and graphics performance are given focus in each of these processors.
Brands like Lenovo (Legion Series), Asus (ROG Series), and Nubia (Red Magic Series) will be direct competitors of OnePlus if it picks up the gaming device market. It is possible that OnePlus may also put gaming features like Shoulder Triggers or Custom GPU Tuning, as well as superior cooling and high-touch sampling rates, onto these handsets. But the company has not yet responded to these messages in an official fashion.
