OnePlus is rumoured to be developing a compact 8-inch Android gaming tablet, and it could be aimed directly at mobile gamers who want high performance in a smaller form factor.

According to a leak from Smart Pikachu on Weibo (via NotebookCheck), the tablet is said to feature a 165Hz refresh rate and “3K” resolution on an 8.X-inch display.

OnePlus already has a strong reputation for making great smartphones for gaming, and a compact gaming tablet from the brand could be an exciting alternative to the iPad Mini, if it gets a global release. That said, the company has recently kept some products, like the OnePlus 13T/13s, exclusive to limited regions, so it’s unclear if this new gaming tablet would see a wide launch.

In the meantime, OnePlus fans won’t have to wait too long for a new tablet. The OnePlus Pad Lite, an 11-inch Android tablet, is expected to launch in July.

If the leak proves true, OnePlus could soon join the growing wave of brands pushing smaller, gaming-focused Android tablets, a category that’s heating up fast.

While details are still limited, this puts the device in line with recent compact gaming tablets from other brands like Lenovo and Redmagic.

Smaller tablets are making a comeback. Lenovo’s Legion Tab (Gen 3) recently went global and Redmagic is preparing to launch its 9-inch OLED “Astra” gaming tablet worldwide in July. Now, it looks like OnePlus could be next.
