The OnePlus Pad Lite could be the perfect parental pick for their kid's first Android tablet

Having only just unleashed what is now comfortably one of the best tablets running Android, OnePlus is wasting no time in following it up with something a little kinder to your wallet. The OnePlus Pad Lite is also bringing a bespoke kid mode that could make it a top choice for tech-minded families. The 11in slate is a fair bit smaller than the OnePlus Pad 3, but doesn't skimp too much on screen specs in order to keep costs in check. You're still getting a 2K resolution stretched over a productivity-friendly 16:10 aspect ratio, along with a 90Hz refresh rate and 10-bit colour support. Underneath, power comes from a MediaTek Helio G100 – a hint that this is very much a mid-tier tab rather than a flagship model – paired to as much as 8GB of RAM and 256GB of on-board storage. OnePlus is talking a big game in terms of battery life, with a 9340mAh cell apparently able to manage a huge 54 days of standby time between charges. That translates to a more realistic 11 hours of video playback. 30W wired charging is on hand for relatively speedy top-ups. The firm has carried over its Open Canvas multitasking from its foldable phones, which is a big win for side-by-side working on several apps at once. It's still, for my money, the best of its kind on Android. The new kids mode will let parents restrict access to apps and set usage limits – and no, turning it off and on again won't exit back into the regular mode. Your 'I'm so clever' sprogs will still need you to put in a password. The OnePlus Pad Lite is up for pre-order right now, with prices starting from £199 in the UK and €229 in Europe. The LTE version will set you back £229/€259. Tablets should start shipping to early birds and go on general sale from the 15th of July. There was no confirmation of a US launch at the time of writing.

OPPO sees a bit of itself in this major Android 16 upgrade, and it's hard to disagree

Google is bringing a new multitasking feature to Android 16, and even OPPO is giving it some credit. The new system, which introduces a 90:10 split-screen layout, looks very similar to a multitasking idea OPPO has been using since 2023. That feature, known as "Boundless View" on OPPO phones and "Open Canvas" on the OnePlus Open, allows apps to sit partially off the screen. Users can switch between them by tapping the visible edge of the app, making multitasking feel smoother and less restricted than traditional split-screen modes. Android 16 's version works a bit differently, but the idea is similar. The update allows one app to stay mostly in view (taking up 90 percent of the screen), while the second app remains in a slim portion along the edge. This setup lets users switch between the two more easily, without fully closing either app. The new multitasking layout has been spotted in early Android 16 beta builds, including Samsung's One UI 8 beta. It's not currently available on Pixel phones, but that could change in future updates. The first Android 16 QPR1 beta went live on May 20, with more features likely to arrive as testing continues. After some online speculation about OPPO's role in this change, the company issued a statement to clarify. An OPPO executive had suggested on Weibo that the company may have helped bring this feature to Android, but OPPO later told Android Authority that it had no direct involvement. Instead, OPPO said Google's feature "draws inspiration" from its own Boundless View, calling it "a similar feature."

And with OPPO offering praise instead of criticism, it seems the company is more interested in pushing multitasking forward than claiming ownership of the idea.
