An Asus leak reveals a competitor to the iPad Pro featuring a design similar to familiar models, along with a 144Hz OLED display.
A new Asus tablet has been revealed, showcasing features that could make it a strong competitor to the iPad.
Asus is preparing to introduce a new tablet, and a recent leak from AndroidHeadlines has provided an initial glimpse at its design and specifications. Before diving into the technical details, let’s discuss its appearance.
The Asus Pad boasts sleek, ultra-thin bezels all around, lending it a high-end, contemporary aesthetic. The frame is made of metal with a slightly rounded shape, while the back surface is entirely flat. I appreciate the curved design, as it will enhance grip while holding the tablet.

There is a small camera module positioned in the top-left corner, which juts out a bit and houses a single camera alongside an LED flash. While not the most exciting camera configuration, it should be adequate for basic needs.

So, what specifications are included?
According to leaks, the Asus Pad will feature a 12.2-inch dual-layer OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and Dolby Vision support. It promises a spacious, impressive screen, and with Dolby Atmos and stereo speakers, it appears tailored for media enjoyment.

However, it is unclear whether the dual-layer OLED matches Apple's Tandem OLED display, albeit under a different name. We hope it does, as this would guarantee higher peak brightness, enhancing usability in bright environments.
Weighing just 523 grams and measuring only 6.5mm thick, the Asus Pad is notably lightweight for a tablet of this size. It also comes equipped with a 9,000mAh battery, and while fast charging is confirmed, the specific wattage remains undisclosed.
What about accessories?
At launch, at least one official case will be available. It looks to be a transparent plastic case featuring a multifunctional origami-style stand that allows the tablet to be positioned in various ways.

The folding mechanism appears akin to the PITAKA case I use with my iPad Pro, and if it offers similar quality and features, it will please consumers.
Though there is no confirmed release date at this point, with this level of information circulating, an official announcement should be forthcoming soon.

Samsung has covertly increased the prices of its Galaxy tablets in the US.
Samsung seems to be swiftly raising prices across its devices. Following an unexpected price increase on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the company has escalated prices across a broader range of its lineup.
