OnePlus recently launched its powerful OnePlus Pad 3 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Now, a new rumor suggests that the company’s next tablet will be called the OnePlus Pad Lite.
According to the leak, the OnePlus Pad Lite will be powered by the Helio G100 processor. It will run on Android 15 with OxygenOS 15.0.1 on top. The tablet is said to feature an 11-inch Full HD+ LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, which should provide smooth scrolling and better visuals.
Inside, the OnePlus Pad Lite will pack a large 9,340 mAh battery, although details about its charging speed are still unknown. The device is expected to come with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Other memory options might be announced later.
For photography and video calls, the OnePlus Pad Lite will reportedly have two 5MP cameras—one on the front and one on the back. The tablet will be available in both cellular and Wi-Fi versions to suit different needs.
In terms of design, the OnePlus Pad Lite will weigh about 539 grams and measure 254.9 x 166.5 x 7.4 mm. The device is rumored to come in a stylish Aero Blue color. OnePlus is also expected to offer a matching folio cover that can be used as a kickstand.
So far, OnePlus has not officially confirmed any details about the OnePlus Pad Lite. Fans will have to wait for an official announcement.
The OnePlus 11 5G is getting the OxygenOS 15 April 2025 update. The update comes with the software version CPH2447_15.0.0.800(EX01) and has a download size of 937.15 MB. It brings several new features, improvements, and bug fixes to enhance the overall user experience.
What’s New in this update?
One of the major additions in this update is partial screen recording. Users can now choose a specific area of the screen to record, rather than recording the entire screen. This is useful for making focused tutorials or short clips without showing everything on the display.
The update also adds support for file sharing between the OnePlus 11 and Mac devices. You can now view your phone files directly on your Mac and easily transfer files between the two devices. This improves interconnection and makes file management more convenient for users who use both platforms.
Another new feature is the stack view layout for the Recent Tasks screen. This can give a cleaner and more organized look when switching between apps. If you prefer the old style, you can disable this feature by going to Settings > Home screen & Lock screen > Recent tasks manager.
In addition, the update improves gesture recognition for floating windows, making them easier to close. It also enhances the visual appearance by adding better shadow effects around these floating windows, giving a smoother and more polished look.
Lastly, the update includes the April 2025 Android security patch, which helps improve system security and keep your device protected.
If you own a OnePlus 11, it’s recommended to check for the new update by going to Settings > System > System Updates and install it for the latest improvements.
I’ve recently noticed a strange issue with my OnePlus 11. A few times, I’ve taken a photo—usually to remember something important—and while the shutter sound goes off and it looks like the photo was taken, it never appears in my gallery.
What’s even more confusing is that I clearly remember the photo being captured, but it just vanishes. This has been happening occasionally since the beginning of this year.
I’m not sure what’s causing the problem. It could be a bug in the camera app, an issue with the gallery, or something deeper in the system software. So far, I haven’t seen any official response from OnePlus about this.
If anyone else is facing the same issue, I’d recommend keeping your phone updated and trying a third-party gallery app to check if the photo gets saved elsewhere. Clearing the camera or gallery cache might help too.
