According to the tipster Shadow Leak, the rumored OnePlus Pad 5G may feature a 12.4-inch FHD+OLED display. The refresh rate wasn’t revealed in the shared tweet, but previous leaks suggest that the tablet could get a 120Hz panel. Under the hood, there could be a Snapdragon 865 chipset, which is a few years old, but packs enough power to drive a tablet without any hiccups.

The iPad Pro is Apple’s top-tier iPad model, and Apple finally gave it a big refresh after a year-and-a-half drought. The iPad Pro (2024) comes in two sizes -- 11 inches and 13 inches -- and packs in the latest silicon with the powerful M4 chip. Models with 1TB or 2TB even have a new nano-texture finish over the display, which is more anti-reflective than the regular models.

Apple finally released some new iPads this year after going over a year without any updates. The iPad Air got a big refresh, now with an M2 chip inside and a new size -- 13 inches -- to go along with the regular 11-inch size from before.

The new iPad Air starts at $599 for the 11-inch Wi-Fi base model and increases depending on the size and configuration you choose. If you want the new 13-inch model, be prepared to spend at least $799.

5 phones you should buy instead of the OnePlus 12

The OnePlus 12 is OnePlus' latest smartphone, and it's a true return to form for the "flagship killer." It's big and beautiful, with a distinctive design that leans away from the default "big glass slab" you might be tiring of. It's powerful, too, thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, two-day battery life, and some of the fastest charging speeds you'll find on a phone on the U.S. market. It's easily one of the best phones you can buy, with a starting price of $800.

But is it the best? It might not be, depending on what you're actually looking for. There are a number of smartphones with similar levels of power, beauty, and features — and varying reasons why you'd pick them over OnePlus' current flagship.
