If true, this would be one of the first Android tablets to use this chipset.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Brar\u2019s post on X says the test unit has a 12-inch display, putting it in the large-screen productivity category instead of the smaller media-tablet group. It\u2019s also rumored to have a battery over 12,000mAh.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(min-width: 64rem) 51.25rem, 80vw\" title=\"OnePlus tablet rumor\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OnePlus-tablet-rumor.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OnePlus-tablet-rumor-64w-21h.jpg 64w\" alt=\"OnePlus tablet rumor on X\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OnePlus-tablet-rumor.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This mix of a large display, big battery, and top-tier hardware suggests the tablet is meant to compete with premium Android tablets, not midrange ones.<\/p>\n<p>If the rumor is true, the chip choice is significant. The Snapdragon 8 Gen series has powered many of the fastest Android phones in recent years. Using the next generation of this chip in a tablet could mean better gaming, smoother multitasking, and improved AI features.<\/p>\n<p>The OnePlus Pad 3, which uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite (Gen 4), performed well in games and other demanding tasks, as we mentioned in our review.<\/p>\n<p>The rumor also mentions a possible timeline. Brar says the tablet could launch around June, but since it\u2019s still a test model, the specs might change before the official release.<\/p>\n<p>So far, OnePlus has not confirmed anything. If a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 does land on a tablet this year, the competition among Android tablets could become much more exciting.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/oneplus-testing-snapdragon-8-gen-5-tablet-rumor-3648267\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OnePlus may be prepping a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 tablet https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/oneplus-testing-snapdragon-8-gen-5-tablet-rumor-3648267\/ Publish Date: 2026-03-11 05:34:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":222271,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/OnePlus-Pad-3-being-held-in-hands.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70,83],"class_list":["post-222270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google","tag-oneplus"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222270"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222270"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222270\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":222272,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222270\/revisions\/222272"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
