Motorola Edge 60 Pro India Launch Confirmed: 6,000 mAh Battery, Starts at ₹29,999 I was standing near Sarojini Nagar with the Delhi sun unrelenting at 42 °C when a 15-minute Genshin Impact session on the Motorola Edge 60 Pro left me surprised - the phone barely heated, yet stats were solid.  This page exists to show why the Edge 60 Pro isn’t just another mid-range phone - it’s one built for real-world India.

OnePlus Pad Lite Full Specs Leaked: Launch Soon with 2K Display, 8GB RAM

OnePlus Pad Lite Full Specs Leaked: Launch Soon with 2K Display, 8GB RAM

OnePlus Pad Lite Full Specs Leaked: Launch Soon with 2K Display, 8GB RAM


New Delhi | July 12, 2025

Key Takeaways:


Leaked images show a slim, rounded-edge design, resembling the original OnePlus Pad.


Key specs suggest an 11.6-inch 2.4K display, 8,000mAh battery, and MediaTek Dimensity chip.


Could launch as early as next month at a budget price point.


Targeted at students, casual users, and light productivity seekers.


Missing features may raise concerns, including limited accessories and OS optimization.

I remember reviewing the original OnePlus Pad last year - a bold first attempt, but priced awkwardly between mid-range and premium. 

This week, when I saw leaked renders of the so-called OnePlus Pad Lite, my reaction was immediate: They’ve finally understood the assignment. 

It looks lighter, simpler, and if leaks hold true, priced for everyday users - not spec sheet chasers.

With its minimalist aesthetic and stripped-back internals, the OnePlus Pad Lite (tentative name) might just fill the sweet spot that Android tablets have long neglected - that $200–$300 range where users care more about battery life and media performance than benchmark scores.

Let’s unpack what we know so far - and what OnePlus might be getting right this time.

A First Look: Leaked Renders and Design Cues


Leaked images published by multiple reliable tipsters, including @OnLeaks and GizmoChina, suggest the Pad Lite carries forward the same centered camera ring and aluminum body that made the original OnePlus Pad feel premium. 

However, its bezels are slightly thicker, and the edges appear more rounded - giving it a softer, more budget-friendly vibe.

The Pad Lite looks thinner than Samsung’s Galaxy Tab A9 but thicker than the Xiaomi Pad 6. It’s unclear if it will support a stylus or magnetic keyboard, but early renders don’t show any pogo pin connectors.

This could indicate a media-first approach over productivity.

Leaked OnePlus Pad Lite Specifications (Unofficial)


Feature  Details (Leaked)

Display 11.6-inch IPS LCD, 2.4K resolution

Processor MediaTek Dimensity 6100+

RAM 6GB / 8GB

Storage 128GB (UFS 2.2)

Battery 8,000mAh

Charging 33W fast charging

Rear Camera 8MP

Front Camera 5MP

OS Android 14 (likely with OxygenOS Pad skin)

Connectivity Wi-Fi only / LTE variant expected

Audio Dual speakers (unconfirmed)

Price (expected) ₹18,999 – ₹21,999 (India) / ~$249 (Global)


Performance: Budget Hardware, But Not Sluggish


The leaked MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ is not a powerhouse, but it’s efficient and capable of handling web browsing, media streaming, and light multitasking. 

Coupled with 6GB or 8GB of RAM, it should be enough for most students or casual users.

In comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab A9+ uses a Snapdragon 695 - slightly better on paper, but priced higher.

What’s encouraging here is the focus on battery and display quality, not raw speed.

Display & Audio: 2.4K on a Budget?


If the rumored 2.4K resolution (likely 2400x1600) holds true, this could be the highest-resolution panel in its price class. Most budget tablets top out at FHD+. 

That would make the Pad Lite a compelling option for Netflix, YouTube, and eBook consumption - especially with an 11.6-inch display, which hits a nice balance between portability and screen real estate.

No word yet on refresh rate - though a 90Hz panel (like the original Pad) would be a pleasant surprise. 

However, dual speakers instead of quad could be a trade-off to meet the price target.

OxygenOS Pad: A Lightweight Skin with Some Gaps


OnePlus has been refining OxygenOS for tablets, but it’s still not as polished as Apple’s iPadOS or even Xiaomi’s MIUI Pad skin. Users have previously complained about:


Poor split-screen support


Lack of optimized apps


Delayed OTA updates

If OnePlus wants the Pad Lite to succeed in classrooms or for casual productivity, software stability will matter more than raw specs. 

Early whispers suggest the Pad Lite will ship with Android 14 and a trimmed version of OxygenOS designed to run smoother on lower-tier hardware.

Missing Features? Users Should Know


While leaks point to an aggressively priced tablet, early signs also suggest the Pad Lite might skip a few features:


No stylus support confirmed yet


No fingerprint sensor (relying on Face Unlock)


LTE variant might be limited to select markets


Keyboard accessory likely sold separately or not supported

These missing features might be acceptable for the price but will frustrate students looking for full productivity use.

How It Compares to the Competition


Here’s how the OnePlus Pad Lite could stack up against existing tablets in the same budget segment:

Model  Screen  Chipset   Battery   Price (India)

OnePlus Pad Lite 11.6", 2.4K Dimensity 6100+ 8000mAh ₹18,999* (leaked)

Galaxy Tab A9+ 11", FHD+ Snapdragon 695 7040mAh ₹22,999

Xiaomi Pad 6 11", 2.8K, 144Hz Snapdragon 870 8840mAh ₹26,999

Realme Pad 2 11.5", 2K Helio G99 8360mAh ₹19,999

*Expected pricing

Clearly, OnePlus is aiming to undercut rivals by around ₹3,000–₹5,000 while still offering a solid display and larger battery.

Launch Date and Availability


Although OnePlus hasn’t made any official announcements, industry insiders suggest the Pad Lite may launch alongside the OnePlus Nord 5 CE in early August 2025.

Retail availability in India is expected first, with a global rollout to follow - likely via online-only channels to keep costs down.

Color options may include Matte Silver and Charcoal Grey, though this is unconfirmed.

Real-World Impact: Is This the Right Tablet at the Right Time?


Students, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, have been waiting for a reliable, mid-range Android tablet that just works. The OnePlus Pad Lite might be that device.

With affordable smartphones crossing the ₹20,000 mark and laptops still priced high, the Pad Lite - if priced around ₹19,000 - fills a crucial gap for online classes, reading, note-taking, and entertainment.

However, lack of stylus and keyboard support might limit its use for creators and professionals. 

The focus seems to be squarely on media, battery life, and affordability.

Why It Matters


The Android tablet market has seen a resurgence, thanks to remote learning, digital reading, and affordable data. 

Yet, it remains fragmented and underwhelming for users seeking sub-₹20K options with reliable hardware and long-term support.

The OnePlus Pad Lite could finally challenge Samsung’s dominance in this category - not by outmuscling specs, but by prioritizing the basics: a sharp screen, strong battery, and minimalist software.

But the burden will be on OnePlus to optimize OxygenOS, ensure regular updates, and avoid bloated pre-installs.


If they succeed, this could become the go-to student tablet of 2025

WhatsApp Just Stopped Working on iPhone 6 Urgent Alert for Users

WhatsApp Ends Support for iPhone 6: Users Locked Out After August Update I still remember standing outside a buzzing Apple store in Delhi in early May, interviewing Rishi, a college student who had queued up for a refurbished iPhone 8.  He looked visibly frustrated. “WhatsApp just stopped working on my iPhone 6 yesterday,” he said, holding up the device with a cracked screen.  He had missed a crucial update from his internship coordinator due to the app cutoff. “I didn’t even know support had ended.” That moment stuck with me - not because of the technicality of a software update, but because of the very real impact it had on someone trying to climb up in life with limited tools.

Threads App Update: New Shortcuts for Saved & Liked Posts

Meta Threads App Adds New Sidebar Shortcuts: Saved and Liked Posts Now 1 Tap Away This article explores the latest Threads update that adds shortcuts for ‘Saved’ and ‘Liked’ posts It was just past midnight when I instinctively reached for my phone - scrolling through Threads had become my late-night routine. The interface felt different that day. In the sidebar, two new icons had quietly appeared: "Saved" and "Liked." A subtle change, yet one that immediately improved my navigation through the app.  Hours later, Twitter's most consistent tech tipster, Ahmed Ghanem (@ahmedghanem), confirmed the update in his characteristically crisp style. "#Threads added shortcuts for “Saved” and “Liked” posts in the app’s new side menu." As someone who follows platform shifts professionally and personally, this update, and Ghanem’s precise tipoff, signaled something deeper than UX tweaks.  It echoed the evolving strategy of Meta's Twitter-competitor to quietly but...
