We’ve been waiting a few years for a OnePlus-branded tablet to hit the market, and that day is finally near. The OnePlus Pad is official, and the device finally has a pre-order date. The only bit of information we’re waiting for is the price (via XDA developers).
OnePlus announced this device back when it unveiled the OnePlus 11. While we were seeing the “Shape of power”, we were introduced to the powerful OnePlus Pad.
Looking at the specs that OnePlus loaded this tablet with, we can tell that it’s meant for power users. Starting off with the display, we’re looking at an 11.6-inch AMOLED display with a 2880 x 2000 resolution that runs at 144Hz. It will have a peak brightness of 500nits, so you’ll be most comfortable using it inside.
The display has a unique 7:5 aspect ratio that the company is calling the ReadFit Screen. OnePlus says that this is perfect for reading all types of documents and e-books. It’s pretty close to being a square, so we’ll need to see how that looks.
Moving onto the internals, this tablet is powered by the flagship-grade MediaTek Dimensity 9000. This is the company’s answer to the latest Snapdragon processors. That’s backed up by a respectable 12GB of RAM. This means that you should expect great performance.
Keeping the lights on, there’s a large 9510mAh battery. That’s a decent size battery for this tablet, so you should get a lot of work and play done. It supports 67W Super VOOC charging, and the company claims that it’ll get the tablet up to 90% battery on a one-hour charge.
We’re still in the dark on the price
So, you’ll be able to pre-order the OnePlus Pad starting on April 28th. The question is: how much will it cost to pre-order it? It has a sharp display, a large battery, fast charging, a flagship processor, and tons of RAM. With specs like those, we shouldn’t expect it to be light on the wallet.
With those specs, The OnePlus Pad is expected to be an alternative to the best Galaxy Tab S or the latest iPads. So, it may very well be priced accordingly. Or, it could be priced very competitively.
Who knows, maybe the OnePlus Pad could be to the Galaxy Tab what the OnePlus 11 is to the Galaxy S23. The OnePlus 11 heavily undercuts the Galaxy Flagships, making it quite a tempting offering. The OnePlus Pad might do the same thing. We could be looking at a $500 or $600 tablet to contrast the Tab S9 which may possibly start at hundreds of dollars more. We’ll need to wait on more information about this tablet to come out.
