A recent leak suggests that OnePlus is gearing up to enter the dedicated gaming hardware market with its first gaming smartphone and tablet. While the company has previously catered to mobile gamers through high-performance devices, this would mark its official foray into the gaming-specific device segment.
According to reliable tipster Smart Pikachu, both a gaming phone and a gaming tablet are in the works. These upcoming devices are rumored to feature 165Hz displays, surpassing the current refresh rates seen in previous OnePlus devices. For reference, the OnePlus 13 offers a 120Hz refresh rate, while the Ace 5 Ultra and OnePlus Pad 3 feature 144Hz panels.

Although unconfirmed, the new devices may come equipped with either the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, already found in the OnePlus 13 and Pad 3, or the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+, as seen in the Ace 5 Ultra. Both processors offer top-tier performance and enhanced graphics capabilities, making them suitable for gaming-centric devices.
If these rumors prove true, OnePlus is set to compete with established gaming brands like Lenovo’s Legion series and Nubia’s Red Magic lineup. While the details remain speculative, OnePlus’s move signals a growing interest in the mobile gaming hardware space.
