Asus is preparing a premium tablet with a large OLED display / Asus
Details of a new Asus tablet that could rival the iPad Pro have surfaced online. The leak reveals the design, display specifications, and some of the upcoming device's features.
The new Asus Pad will have a modern design with thin, even bezels around the screen. The body will be metal with slightly rounded edges, which should make the device more comfortable to use. The back panel will remain flat, and a compact camera unit with a single module and flash will be placed in the corner. This is reported by Digital Trends .
How does Asus plan to compete with the iPad Pro?
The main focus is on the display. The tablet is expected to feature a 12.2-inch OLED screen with a dual-layer structure and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. Dolby Vision support is also announced, and paired with stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos, the device is positioned as a multimedia solution.
It's unclear whether this uses technology similar to Apple's Tandem OLED , which is used in the new iPad Pros. If so, it could provide higher brightness and better visibility in sunlight.
As for dimensions, the tablet is only 6.5 mm thick and weighs about 523 grams , which makes it quite light for its size. A 9000 mAh battery will be responsible for autonomy. Support for fast charging has been confirmed, but its capacity has not yet been disclosed.
According to Androidheadline , the accessories include a branded case made of transparent plastic . It will have an origami-style folding design that allows you to set the tablet at different angles for working or viewing content.
The presentation date has not yet been announced, but given the volume of leaks, the official announcement may take place in the near future.
