OnePlus’s first foldable device – OnePlus Open – powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC debuted last month. The book-style foldable smartphone came with a new feature called Open Canvas that allows users to multitask split-screen on the foldable smartphone. It allows users to view multiple applications simultaneously, both in full screen and compact mode, along with simple gestures. Now the Chinese tech brand is bringing this functionality to its first tablet offering: the OnePlus Pad. The Open Canvas is expected to offer an improved multitasking experience on the OnePlus Pad’s 11.61-inch screen.
In an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit, OnePlus confirmed that the Open Canvas feature is coming to the OnePlus Pad. However, there’s no word on when that will happen. “We’ve received several requests to add the stunningly intuitive Open Canvas to the OnePlus Pad, and good news: we’re working on it! Keep your eyes peeled,” the company said. It was first spotted by tipster OneNormalUsername (@1NormalUsername). Since the tablet has an 11.61-inch display, this development ensures that OnePlus Pad users can access multiple apps on the screen at the same time.
The Open Canvas feature was first introduced in OnePlus Open. It allows multi-window operations and displays up to three windows on the screen simultaneously. Users can extend split-screen apps beyond the screen, and apps can be pushed, swiped, and pulled for maximum multitasking.
The OnePlus Open was launched in October with a price tag of Rs. 1,39,999 for the single 16GB RAM + 512GB storage configuration.
In terms of specifications, it runs on OxygenOS 13.2 based on Android 13 and has a 7.82-inch (2,268 x 2,440 pixels) 2K Flexi-fluid LTPO 3.0 AMOLED display. It features a 6.31-inch (1,116×2,484 pixels) 2K LTPO 3.0 Super Fluid AMOLED cover display. It runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC with an Adreno 740 GPU, paired with 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM.
For optics, OnePlus Open has a Hasselblad-branded triple camera setup consisting of a 48-megapixel primary camera, a 64-megapixel telephoto camera and a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. It has a 20-megapixel primary selfie camera and a 32-megapixel secondary camera on the outer display. It comes equipped with 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage and packs a dual-cell 4,800mAh battery that supports 67W SuperVOOC charging.
