I bought the OnePlus Pad and have zero regrets. It's a fantastic tablet for what I need, and Apple charges far too much for its products, which are made in the same kind of factories but with a higher profit margin. I've also been with Android since before iPhones existed, so I'm loyal to the more affordable option anyway. Apple is another huge corporation which people hand their money over to, and they're just not unique when so many other people have them. I like being different while also saving money. ☺

Super OnePlus fan boy here😍 love hearing the very first OnePlus pad is able to trading blows with the iPad! Cannot wait to see the OnePlus pro!

[Yoav_The_Man]

just the revuiew i needed. you helped me decided getting tthe new oneplus pad

[gayanaka]

I have an iPad Pro and an iPad mini, the only issue of iPads are that they have identity issue is it a pro laptop or a stretched out iPhone, there’s nothing much apple does to take advantage of the bigger screen and power where as android does specific things make their tablets feel like a personal computer at least try.

None of these 2 tablets is a bargain.

For those who are on Android, currently, the Tab S8 is quite often around $500, and it comes with the Spen, better software and better software tracking and especially an SD card slot.

For those on iOS, buy an iPad Air 4, or, a refurbished iPad Pro 11", Apple has very good deals for refurbished iPads.

Choose wisely.

Hi your mediatech dimensity scores too less
It's actual single core score is 1689-1720 in geek bench 6 and multi core score is 4200+
So i donot know why such a huge difference

You could have also recorded a video comparing them side to side during daily tasks… to see how fluent they are

Great timing for me on this thank you. I just need something when I’m on my elliptical and this looks perfect for the price.

I’m sure there are many people other than me. Who can’t distinguish the difference between 60hz screens and 100+hz screens.
I honestly can’t see any benefit of the higher setting so I keep it turned off.
60hz works fine for me and I save lots of battery.

Display.
Another thing I like about the OPPad. It has a display size and shape similar to the iPad.
Most android tablets are very different.

Geek Bench Performance
For Technofiles this may well mean something.
For the average user. That being I believe to be 90+% of the people buying this pad. Will care little about it.
I use the OPP the same way I use my iPad.
And while I do see minor differences in them. Not everyone is going to use their OPP the way I do.
And the issue, as in one. That I see with this pad having to do with YouTube. I think will be either corrected by YT or OP in a future update.
This issue I’m talking about, is not present in the OPP2. I have two OPP and it is both of them. But not the two.

Biometrics
Face, number, fingerprint. All work for me. So long as there is a means of security on the device.

Cellular
I never buy cell pads.
Why would I when I never take my tablets outside my home.
And if I did. I can hotspot to my phone for a time, and save a whole subscription to another cell line.

Display differences.
I seriously can’t not tell the difference between 60 and anything higher. So I set all my devices to 60hz and save battery.
I’m sure there are people who can see the difference and it is a plus for them. I just can’t see it.
Be aware. Watching movies on YouTube, not normal videos, but movies, has a massive flickering issue.
Everything I can see says it is a refresh issue. But changing refresh does nothing to fix it.
The OnePlusPad2 does not suffer from this. And seems to work flawlessly. I’m hoping that this issues for the OPPad will be corrected in an update. But if you never watch movies on YT this will not be an issue for you.

This looks really appealing! That aspect ratio is great and the keyboard looks fenomenal 😮

[Tenma_Gold]

[siddhantchuroria]

There is a 256GB option in India, I have the 256GB one with me.

[vishnuvenugopal]

The baby cooing in the background is adorable ☺

[Pratik_yadaw]

[TCKe]

The 256GB model of the OnePlus Pad is expandable with SD card up to 1Tb and it comes with LTE

[lesburrows]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences 😊

[prince_.of._darkness]

You can get one plus 12gb Ram and 256 gb storage.

[Testimony]

Apple even under clocked the A14 Bionic in the IPad 10th gen, 2.88ghz here, compares to iPhone 12’s and iPad Air 4’s 3.1ghz and yet it still beats the One plus pad. I like the design of the One Plus Pad, it’s very cool and it has nice some features.

Can't wait to see review of the firemax 11
