OnePlus has a pleasant surprise in the works for its fans with low budgets
OnePlus Pad Lite | Image credit: 91mobiles @OnLeaks OnePlus introduced two high-tier devices in the last couple of weeks, the OnePlus 13s and OnePlus Pad 3. If you're a devoted OnePlus fan but can't afford either of the two devices, you'll be happy to know the Chinese company has a big surprise for customers with lower budgets.OnePlus Pad Lite is an affordable tablet with premium design and solid specs. The folks at 91mobiles and Steve Hemmerstoffer ( OnLeaks ) put together several renders that show the upcoming tablet from different angles, as well as with its dedicated cover on.
The Pad Lite doesn't look like OnePlus's latest slate, the Pad 3, but it does borrow most of its design traits from the other tablet the company introduced in the past. This makes perfect sense considering that the Pad Lite is supposed to be the child of OnePlus's previous entry-level tablet, the Pad Go. We also have OnePlus Pad Lite's dimensions in case you're curios: 254.9 x 166.5 x 7.4mm. The tablet weighs 539g, which makes it around the same weight as the OnePlus Pad Go, which weighs 532g.Hardware-wise, the Pad Lite offers some minimal upgrades over the Pad Go. For example, the slate is equipped with a MediaTek Helio G100 chipset, which is a tad more powerful than Pad Go's Helio G99. It's also worth mentioning the Pad Lite packs 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, but different storage options might be available at launch.

In comparison, the Pad Go has an 8-megapixel main sensor and an 8-megapixel selfie snapper.The biggest upgrade over the Pad Go seems to be the battery. As some of you probably know already, OnePlus Pad Go is powered by an 8,000 mAh battery, but the Pad Lite will have a much bigger 9,340 mAh battery.Finally, OnePlus Pad Lite is said to feature an 11-inch LCD display with 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. This is slightly smaller than the Pad Go's 11.35-inch display, but that will probably not be as noticeable as the resolution, which is also lower.
OnePlus Pad Lite will be available in Aero Blue color and will come with a folio cover. No information about the price is available yet, but we suspect this will be initially introduced in India for less than Rs 20,000 ($230 / €200).

Galaxy Z Fold 7 battery less than 4,400 mAh, IP rating also disappoints
If a new report from a very reliable source is to be believed, then the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is going to disappoint in two key aspects. The battery on the phone is apparently still less than the 4,400 mAh that Samsung markets it as, and its IP rating is also not great. Galaxy Z Fold 7 Still Supports iP48 Only Rating. — PandaFlash (@PandaFlashPro) June 30, 2025 Galaxy Z Fold 6 was marketed as having a 4,400 mAh battery, but the actual capacity was around 4,273 mAh. The battery capacity on the Fold 7 will continue that trend, and will actually be 4,272 mAh. Of course, the all but confirmed 25W wired charging is also underwhelming. Furthermore, the Fold 7 will carry over its predecessor's IP48 rating. An IP48 rating means that the phone will only be able to keep out larger dust particles, while smaller ones can enter the device. Whereas an IP68 rating, seen on most flagships, is completely resistant to dust. An IP48 rating also offers much lower protection against water than an IP68 rating. Leaked render of the Fold 7. | Image credit — Evan Blass Despite these two underwhelming features, however, the Fold 7 is still shaping up to be quite an excellent foldable smartphone. In fact, the Fold 7 sold me on foldables before the foldable iPhone could, and that's saying something. It's just a shame that Samsung is still falling behind its competitors in some aspects, while it catches up in others. The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold has a bigger battery ( 4,650 mAh ) and can withstand water much better with its IPX8 rating. Meanwhile, other excellent foldable options from Chinese manufacturers blow the Fold 7 out of the water that it can't protect itself Oppo Find N5, for example, has a battery capacity of 5,600 mAh and an IPX9 rating. Honor Magic V5, currently the slimmest foldable in the world, has a battery capacity of 6,100 mAh. Even Samsung's traditional Galaxy flagships don't hold a candle to the V5's battery. All of these battery-related miracles have been possible due to silicon batteries. But now silicon batteries are reaching their limits, before Apple or Samsung could even use them. The Fold 7 excels in many key areas over the Fold 6, so I'm hoping that a similar level of improvement takes place again, and the Fold 8 gives the others a run for their money for a change.

This is approximately 8,500 mAh per singular battery cell, with higher capacities basically impossible to such, the smartphone industry is now moving towards improving how silicon is used instead of how much of it can be stuffed into a cell.

Another way to approach this problem is to use smarter software, namely AI-powered battery management. Such a solution would control how much battery usage is allowed per app, and also monitor the charging of the battery: with the goal of making it less stressful on the cell.

Best Buy makes the surprisingly premium Lenovo Tab M11 mid-ranger more affordable than ever before
If you're in the market for an affordable Android tablet this summer and can't decide between the Lenovo Tab and Lenovo Tab One, you might want to consider the Lenovo Tab M11 as well right now. This is not one of the company's latest budget-friendly iPad alternatives, having seen daylight more than a year ago, but in many ways, it remains superior to Lenovo's newer tablet options with simpler names. For one thing, the M11 is bigger than both the 10.1-inch Lenovo Tab and 8.7-inch Tab One, sporting an almost surprisingly high-quality LCD screen with an 11-inch diagonal, a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, and 90Hz refresh rate support. $80 off (40%) 64GB, 4GB RAM, 10.95-Inch LCD Screen with 1920 x 1200 Pixel Resolution and 90Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Octa-Core MediaTek G88 Processor, Four Speakers with Dolby Atmos, 8MP Rear-Facing Camera, 8MP Front-Facing Camera, 7,040mAh Battery with 15W Charging Capabilities, Storm Grey Color Buy at BestBuy $80 off (36%) 128GB, 4GB RAM, 10.95-Inch LCD Screen with 1920 x 1200 Pixel Resolution and 90Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Octa-Core MediaTek G88 Processor, Four Speakers with Dolby Atmos, 8MP Rear-Facing Camera, 8MP Front-Facing Camera, 7,040mAh Battery with 15W Charging Capabilities, Storm Grey Color Buy at BestBuy That's especially surprising considering the $119.99 and $139.99 currently charged by Best Buy for Lenovo Tab M11 variants with 64GB and 128GB internal storage space respectively. If you hurry, you're looking at saving a very cool 80 bucks on your favorite of those two configurations, and as you can imagine, you don't need to meet any special requirements or jump through hoops of any sort to qualify for these unprecedented and presumably unbeatable deals. The Lenovo Tab M11, of course, has way more going for it than just a remarkably smooth and sharp display, with a Dolby Atmos-tuned quad speaker system, for instance, further contributing to a premium mobile entertainment experience. Then you've got a more than respectable 7,040mAh battery squeezed into an impressively thin 7.15mm body, and if that number doesn't tell you much, the 10-hour endurance between charges promised (with uninterrupted video playback) should help seal the deal for bargain hunters focused primarily on that area. Then again, the Lenovo Tab M11 shines in most key areas and departments (at $119.99 and up), including with a sleek dual-tone design, reasonably powerful octa-core MediaTek Helio G88 processor, and decent 8MP front and rear-facing cameras. No, the software support is not great, but an official Android 15 update should arrive soon, followed by regular security patches for a few additional years. That's not too bad... for 120 or 140 bucks, right? Secure your connection now at a bargain price! We may earn a commission if you make a purchase Check Out The Offer
