An Asus leak reveals a competitor to the iPad Pro featuring a design that looks familiar and a 144Hz OLED display.

      A new Asus tablet has leaked, showcasing its potential as a strong competitor to the iPad.

      Asus is preparing to unveil a new tablet, and a recent leak from AndroidHeadlines gives us a detailed look at its design and specifications. Before diving into the technical details, let’s discuss its appearance.

      The Asus Pad boasts uniform, ultra-slim bezels all around, providing a premium, modern aesthetic. The frame is metallic with a subtly curved shape, while the back is completely flat. The curved frame is appealing as it should make the tablet more comfortable to hold.

      There is a small camera bump located in the top-left corner, which slightly protrudes, containing a single camera and an LED flash. Although the camera arrangement isn't particularly thrilling, it should suffice for basic needs.

      So, what are the internals like?

      According to the leaks, the Asus Pad will feature a 12.2-inch dual-layer OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and Dolby Vision support. This offers a large, vibrant screen, and when combined with Dolby Atmos and stereo speakers, it appears well-suited for media enjoyment.

      However, it remains unclear if the dual-layer OLED technology is equivalent to Apple's Tandem OLED display but simply under a different name. It’s hoped that it is, as it would lead to higher peak brightness, which would be beneficial in bright lighting conditions.

      The Asus Pad weighs just 523 grams and is only 6.5mm thick, making it remarkably lightweight for a tablet of this size. It also packs a 9,000mAh battery, with fast charging confirmed, although the specific wattage details are still under wraps.

      What about accessories?

      At least one official case will be available upon launch. It appears to be a transparent plastic case featuring a multifunctional origami-style stand that allows the tablet to be propped up in various positions.

      The folding design resembles the PITAKA case I use with my iPad Pro, and if it offers similar functionality and quality, customers should be satisfied.

      While a confirmed launch date has not been announced yet, the abundance of information suggests that an official announcement is likely on the horizon.

      The OnePlus Pad 4 is shaping up to be a compelling alternative for Android users looking for an antidote to the iPad, and it is set to hit stores soon.

      For Android enthusiasts who've eyed the iPad with envy, the OnePlus Pad 4 is emerging as a credible alternative, and the reasons are clear. OnePlus is marketing its upcoming flagship tablet as a large-screen, keyboard-friendly, ultra-slim device that can effortlessly handle work, streaming, and gaming without feeling like a bulky afterthought. With an official launch slated for April 30, 2026, it won’t remain in the teaser stage for much longer.

      According to a recent report from South Korean outlet ET News, Apple is preparing to upgrade the iPad Air with a much-anticipated OLED display next year, signaling the end of the LCD era for this model. Samsung Display is reportedly gearing up to produce OLED panels for the next-generation iPad Air, with mass production expected to commence around the end of this year or the start of next year (January 2027).

      Notably, Samsung has quietly increased the prices of its Galaxy tablets in the US. Following an unexpected price hike on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the company has now raised prices across a broader range of its devices, including phones, tablets, budget models, and flagships. If you've been saving for a new Samsung tablet, prepare for this price increase.
