The firm debuted the eagerly anticipated OnePlus Pad in India and throughout the global market at the most recent OnePlus Cloud 11 event which was held on the 7th of February. With its debut tablet, which competes with the Flagship tablet segment, OnePlus intends to give a premium flagship experience, in contrast to most mid-range tablets like the Realme Pad X or Redmi Pad.
The OnePlus Pad is not the rebranded Oppo tablet that I personally predicted it would be. Unrelated to its parent firm, Oppo, the Chinese business has introduced a brand-new device exclusively for OnePlus users.
In addition to having a powerful MediaTek CPU, the OnePlus Pad also has a display with a fast refresh rate and a long-lasting battery. If you are curious about the OnePlus Pad I recommend you to keep reading the article for the full list of specifications and features.
OnePlus Pad: Features and Specifications
The OnePlus Pad has an all-metal unibody design, and its circular camera bump is positioned in the middle of the landscape orientation. It also has a radial design coming from the cutout for the 8MP camera. Despite this, the manufacturer claims that because of its 5.52-gram weight and 6.54 mm thickness, it is rather pleasant to use. A color option for the OnePlus Pad that is identical to the OnePlus 11 flagship is called “Halo Green.”
The MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset powers the OnePlus Pad, which is the first device to use a Cortex X2 core with a maximum clock speed of 3.05GHz. Performance-wise, the Dimensity 9000 is comparable to the last year’s powerful Android chipset the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The tablet boasts a large 11.61-inch 144Hz 10-bit IPS LCD screen with a 7:5 aspect ratio that supports Dolby Vision. It boasts a resolution of 2800 x 2000 and a peak brightness of 500 nits.
The aluminum body frame of the OnePlus Pad boasts rounded corners, an 88% screen-to-body ratio, and a rear-facing 13MP camera with 4K at 30 frames per second video recording capabilities. I would like to confess that the OnePlus Pad is one of the best options available in its pricing range because it also supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. The display’s bezels are thin, and an 8MP selfie camera is located in the vertical bezel. Given that tablets are typically used for video chatting or attending meetings, lectures, etc., this camera positioning makes logical.
Along with Dolby Atmos compatibility, the OnePlus Pad has four speakers that produce omnidirectional sound for a rich audio experience. The OnePlus Pad also has a folio cover, a keyboard add-on (OnePlus Magnetic keyboard), and compatibility for styluses which would be called as OnePlus Stylo.
While talking about physical overviews and antennas, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, and a USB Type-C connector are all supported by the tablet and it features 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage and up to 12GB of RAM. The 9,510mAh battery inside the OnePlus Pad supports 67W SuperVooc charging, which the firm says can recharge the tablet completely in under 80 minutes. OxygenOS 13.1, which is based on Android 13, powers the tablet.
OnePlus Pad: Price and Availability
The OnePlus Pad will be on pre-order in April in the US, India, Europe, and the Middle East. At the Cloud 11 event, the company remained mum about the cost of its first tablet. But considering the specifications and features I would expect the price to be somewhere and 40,000. Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
