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 OnePlus Pad 2 has specifications and a range of accessories that put the Google Pixel Tablet to shame.

On the sides of the tablet are six speakers for high-resolution audio, and on the back is a circular camera module with a 13-megapixel camera at the top center of the otherwise flat rear panel.
