OnePlus Pad Review | Reinvents the tablet market
The Hindu
OnePlus Pad is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset, 12GB LPDDR5 memory and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage.
OnePlus has entered the burgeoning tab segment with its maiden tablet: OnePlus Pad. It is equipped with all the important features consumers look for in a tab. Starting at ₹37,999, it goes head-to-head against Apple’s iPad and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S7. The new tab sports a 7:5 aspect ratio screen and is powered by Dimensity 9000 chipset.
The device’s display side is adorned with edge-to-edge glass, slightly curved at the edges, and has a uniform bezel, measuring under a centimetre. The large bezel provides place to rest the thumb while holding the tab. OnePlus sells the device in only one colour: Halo Green. The pristine shade adds to its aesthetic appeal.
The power button and ports for two of four loudspeakers lie on the left side of the device. And the right side hosts the remaining two speakers and a USB port. At the bottom, three contact plates provide access to the magnetic keyboard.
OnePlus has made space for an optional stylus at the top side. A pill-shaped pattern on the right side indicates where the stylus charges inductively, while the left side features the volume buttons and microphone. An 8MP front camera is located on the bezel below this edge.

The rear side has a camera module along with an unbroken line for radio antennas. The back cover features a seamless unibody design, but the line is occasionally visible depending on how the light hits it. The metal back is prone to smudging, which requires some attention. There is also no certified ingress protection against dust and water.
One notable omission is the absence of a fingerprint scanner; the tab relies solely on passcodes for device security.
