Last month Oppo launched the Pad 3 Pro as a rebranded OnePlus Pad 2, and now the company is getting ready to reveal the non-Pro Pad 3. This one isn't a OnePlus rebrand, and should apparently be announced at the same event as the Reno13 series of mid-range smartphones - quite fittingly for an (upper) mid-range tablet, we'd say.

What comes after foldable displays? Perhaps, stretchable displays. LG Display demonstrated a prototype panel that measures 12” normally but can be stretched to 18” without damaging it or even interrupting its operation. This is an improvement on a prototype from 2022, which could stretch from 12” to 14”. That represented a stretch factor of around 120%, while the improved panel can go up to 150% – in other words, it’s... Read more ›
