OnePlus is gearing up to enhance the Android gaming experience with a newly unveiled Gaming Technology suite. The information comes from the company itself, which announced that its upcoming OnePlus 15 series will introduce an entirely new gaming framework combining chip-level optimizations, hardware improvements, and intelligent software systems. This development aims to deliver a smoother and more stable experience for mobile gamers when the OnePlus 15 launches in India on Nov. 13.

OP Gaming Core brings chip-level optimization

At the heart of this initiative lies the OP Gaming Core, a self-developed performance framework created with over 20,000 lines of proprietary code and supported by more than 250 patents. This system operates at the foundational level of Android, redistributing computing power to reduce CPU load by over 20 percent and maintaining consistent frame delivery during demanding gameplay. The technology integrates the OnePlus CPU Scheduler, which replaces the standard Completely Fair Scheduler, thereby cutting CPU instructions for key gaming tasks by up to 22.74 percent.

Additionally, the Next-Gen HyperRendering engine reworks the GPU rendering pipeline for an 80 percent gain in per-frame efficiency. By embedding rendering and frame interpolation within the main chipset, OnePlus aims to achieve smoother 120fps gameplay with improved visual fidelity, reduced power draw, and minimal heating.

Complementing the software architecture is the OnePlus Performance Tri-Chip system. It comprises three hardware components: a performance chip based on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 platform, a dedicated touch-response chip supporting up to 3200Hz instantaneous sampling, and a Wi-Fi G2 chip designed to stabilise connectivity in weak signal areas using SmartLink technology.

OnePlus is also introducing OP FPS Max, a high-frame-rate gaming ecosystem built around a 165Hz display and native 165fps support. This system merges chip-level and display-side tuning to deliver smoother gameplay across popular titles, setting a new standard for mobile gaming performance on the OnePlus 15 series.

Nov 3, 2025

Casio has launched the G-Shock MRG-B2000KT-3A in Japan, a new limited-edition model inspired by traditional Japanese sword craftsmanship. Only 800 units will be sold worldwide, each engraved by master metalworker Masao Kobayashi.

The design takes cues from the tsuba, the guard between a sword’s blade and handle, known for both protection and decoration. The bezel features a phoenix engraving created using the Shishi-Aibori hammering technique. The phoenix, a long-standing symbol of peace and prosperity, is hand-carved with a hammer and chisel, making each piece unique. The bezel is made of titanium with a green DLC coating that mimics the “kuroganeiro” or black iron color seen in forged steel. Four emeralds, representing wisdom and spiritual strength, are set into the bezel screws for a touch of contrast and depth.

The case carries a unique pattern inspired by “nie,” the crystallized edge pattern seen on tempered swords. It is made by recrystallizing pure titanium and finished with brown AIP coating for hardness and a copper tone. A metal plate marked “2025 LIMITED” is set on the side at 9 o’clock. The dial ring has a gradient finish that fades from red to orange, while the arrow feather design on the dial references the hamaya charm used to ward off evil. These details are created using precision machining at Yamagata Casio.

The dark green Durasoft fluorine rubber strap is durable, soft to the touch, and resistant to discoloration and wear. It features a Bishamon tortoiseshell pattern, a Japanese symbol of strength. The titanium clasp is deep-hardened and treated with the same brown AIP finish for added durability.

The MRG-B2000KT-3A offers 20-bar water resistance, Bluetooth connectivity for automatic time correction, solar power charging, and multi-band radio control compatible with Japan, North America, Europe, and China. Other functions include a Super Illuminator LED light, world time for 300 cities, stopwatch, timer, alarm, and a power-saving feature.

The watch measures 54.7 x 49.8 x 16.9 mm, weighs 138 g, and uses a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The case and bezel are made from titanium, and the crown uses a screw-lock structure. It keeps an average monthly accuracy of ±15 seconds when not connected to radio or Bluetooth signals.

Pricing & availability

Casio’s G-Shock MRG-B2000KT-3A will go on sale in Japan in November 2025 for ¥935,000 (about $6,073). Only 800 serial-numbered pieces will be produced worldwide, and Casio is expected to release the model in other regions in the coming weeks. Each watch will come with its serial number and a special edition package.

3. Camera

Main and Secondary Lenses:
The Oppo Find X9 Pro takes the upper hand with its triple setup, a 50MP wide, 200MP periscope telephoto, and 50MP ultrawide lens. The 200MP zoom sensor offers exceptional clarity and light capture, rivaling professional-grade optics. Its Hasselblad color calibration and LUT preview add a creative edge for photographers. The OnePlus 15, while sporting three 50MP sensors, features a smaller periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom and overall smaller sensor sizes. Oppo’s camera system is clearly designed for depth, dynamic range, and rich tonal accuracy, while OnePlus focuses on speed and AI optimization.

The result: Oppo provides a more photography-oriented experience, whereas OnePlus targets consistent, natural-looking results across conditions.

Selfie Camera:
Oppo’s 50MP front sensor significantly outpaces OnePlus’s 32MP shooter in both resolution and detail retention. Its PDAF and wider aperture make it ideal for vloggers and users who prioritize clarity. The OnePlus 15’s 32MP sensor still performs well with balanced tones and strong HDR support, but Oppo’s superior sharpness and focus speed give it an advantage for both photo and video capture.

Verdict:
Oppo Find X9 Pro offers a more advanced and versatile camera experience, particularly for professionals and content creators. OnePlus 15, however, delivers more consistent performance and faster image processing. Oppo wins for creative control and depth, while OnePlus stands strong in reliability and speed.

4. Pricing

At approximately $800, the Oppo Find X9 Pro undercuts the $900 OnePlus 15, despite offering comparable, if not superior, hardware in certain areas. Oppo’s inclusion of a 200MP zoom lens, larger battery, and slightly better display brightness make it a strong value proposition. OnePlus justifies its higher price with faster charging, Qualcomm’s top-tier chipset, and a slightly more performance-focused design.

From a value perspective, the Oppo Find X9 Pro emerges as the more balanced and cost-effective choice. It caters to users seeking luxury aesthetics, long endurance, and professional-level photography at a lower price point. OnePlus 15, while pricier, appeals to enthusiasts who prioritize cutting-edge performance and charging technology.

Disclaimer:
Prices are approximate and may vary based on country, region, and applicable taxes

5. Conclusion

The Oppo Find X9 Pro and OnePlus 15 represent two different flagship philosophies. Oppo blends elegance, endurance, and camera mastery, offering premium performance without the top-tier price. Its larger battery, superior zoom lens, and vivid display cater to professionals and content-driven users. OnePlus 15, meanwhile, pushes raw power, faster charging, and performance-oriented optimizations that make it a better choice for gamers and multitaskers.

Verdict:
Oppo Find X9 Pro stands out with its unique 200MP telephoto lens and 7500mAh battery, delivering unmatched camera versatility and longevity. The OnePlus 15, on the other hand, redefines flagship speed and efficiency with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and 120W charging.

OnePlus Pad 3 vs OnePlus Pad 2 (China): Which one’s better?

By

Rajesh Regmi

-

Nov 2, 2025

OnePlus’ tablet line is a bit confusing at the moment. Globally, the company released the OnePlus Pad 3 this year, as a sequel to last year’s Snapdragon-powered OnePlus Pad 2. But in China, we just recently got the Pad 2, except this one has a Dimensity 9400+.

So technically, the China version of the “Pad 2” is newer than the global Pad 2 — yet branding-wise, the international model already moved on to the Pad 3. Confused? You’re not alone.

Let’s break it down: the China-only OnePlus Pad 2 is essentially a fresh 2025 tablet sitting between the global Pad 2 and Pad 3 in both specs and positioning. It’s not a downgrade, but it’s also not quite the same successor path as the global lineup.

While the Pad 2 is an older model, let’s go through how the Chinese Pad 2 stacks up against the global Pad 3. And is the naming difference hiding a better-than-expected device?

Prev Next

1. Performance

This is the main story. The OnePlus Pad 3 uses Snapdragon 8 Elite, Qualcomm’s top chip when it launched back in June. The China-only Pad 2 uses MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+, which is a counterpart of the 8 Elite on Pad 2.

Both chips perform very similarly; it would be hard to tell a real-world difference while using them, but the numbers can be all over and down between the models.

Model	Chipset
Pad 3 (Global)	Snapdragon 8 Elite
Pad 2 (China)	Dimensity 9400+

The Chinese Pad 2 also has a giant vapor chamber cooling system (46,000mm²). In comparison, the Pad 3 comes with a 34,857mm² vapor chamber system. Regardless, both should be enough to dissipate heat and stabilize the performance.

Preview	Product
	OnePlus Pad 2(12.1 Inch)LCD Display,12GB RAM, 256GB Storage,Snapdragon 8 Gen 3,144Hz Refresh…	Check Price on Amazon
	OnePlus Pad 3 World’s Fastest Snapdragon 8 Elite Processor, 13.2″ 3.4k Screen, 144Hz Adaptive…	Check Price on Amazon

Please Note: When you buy something using the links in our articles, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you.

2. Display

Both tablets use high-end 144Hz LCD panels with Dolby Vision. The main difference is size and purpose.

Model	Size	Resolution
Pad 3 (Global)	13.2″	3392 × 2400
Pad 2 (China)	12.1″	3000 × 2120

The Pad 3’s bigger display gives you more room for writing, editing, multitasking, and desktop-style apps. The China Pad 2 keeps the compact 12-inch footprint, which many users actually prefer for reading, watching content, and traveling.

3. Software

Model	OS
Pad 3 Global	ColorOS 15 (Android 15)
Pad 2 China	ColorOS 16

Yes — the China Pad 2 launches with a newer OS.

ColorOS 16 on the China Pad 2 brings practical additions:

Handwriting polish and smart note tools
Replay capture for gameplay
multi-window UI with 3 apps side by side + floating windows

OnePlus has been blending OxygenOS and ColorOS for years, but China always gets newer features first. If anything, this shows where global builds are likely heading.

4. Battery & Charging

Model	Battery	Charging
Pad 3 (Global)	12,140mAh	80W
Pad 2 (China)	10,420mAh	67W

The Pad 3 is clearly designed for longer workdays and desktop-style usage. Bigger tablet, bigger battery, faster charging. China’s Pad 2 still has a respectable battery, and its slimmer body explains the smaller cell.

5. Audio and hardware

Model	Speakers	Weight	Thickness
Pad 3	8 speakers	675g	6mm
Pad 2 China	Likely 6-speaker setup	579g	5.99mm

The global Pad 3 gives you more speaker channels, better for movies or work calls with spatial sound. But the China Pad 2 is noticeably lighter and a hair thinner. And for handheld use, that could be an aspect you might want to consider.

6. So which one is better?

It all depends on where you live. The Dimensity Pad 2 is currently exclusive to the Chinese market. So if import is a possibility, the OnePlus Pad 2 (China) could be a better deal if you want something thinner and lighter. But if you’re looking for a productivity-first flagship tablet, the OnePlus Pad 3 is still the top pick.
