OnePlus Pad Full Review - Not What I Expected! 

sup, no

No 😥

Yup the Galaxy tab S5e

Yup, the iPad mini 4 till now

never needed one mobile phones have been quite good.

Exactly

This isnt competition; this thing was developed on a photocopier, 100% ripoffware.

​@@QAYWSXEDCCXYDSAEWQwho cares??.I would rather go with an device with more specs than an OVERPRICED ipads under $500

They are focusing on optimizing apps because of the release of the 2-1 Chromebook Plus line up. Right now in Jan, 2024 most apps have been streamlined to work on tablets up to 13 inches!

Dimensity 9000 is better than the underclocked 2.8GH A14 in ipad 10 gen.

Yeah I don't know what was he talking about there. It has the dimensity 9000 which is more or less the equivalent of the 8+ G1 which I'm pretty sure it's not "slow". He probably forgot to turn on performance mode or something

​@Eduard Yes deffo. Its a top notch chip..

Isn't it equivalent to gen 2?? Or it's equivalent to the best chip of gen1?

Mediatek chips can easily compete with Qualcomm in terms of cpu power and even efficiency, but Qualcomm's custom adreno gpus are a lot better than even apple's

@@harshrajjadeja7087 no, not gen 2. gen 2 would be equivalent to 9200+ or the upcoming 9300

Yes they do bundle a 100W charger in India, although it supports only 67W of charging.

​@@siddhantchuroria791 only😂😂😂

Wow nice. Traveling to Toronto? 😂

@@egcozinon I said 'Only' in terms of the charger they provide.😂😂

That would be a great price-performance ratio. Over here in Europe it is to expensive given the compromises, imho.

so many cheaper tablets with better specs like Lenovo on the market so research online

you should get the xiaomi pad 5 from last year is ten times better than oneplus crap tab

"Paid" review

Wait and get the pixel tab

@@Unknowner291 ik right but to each their own

If we doing niggles, that’s for the iPad 10. The Air uses the Magic Keyboard ;)

@@sloppynyuszi There is also an 11 inch Smart Keyboard Folio for the iPad Air and Pro.

It works better than underclocked A14 in ipad 10 gen. It gives you a stable Gaming performance and good video rendering experience.

Our price includes all charges looks VAT

Yeah US prices are always without taxes

Yeah with the exchange rate pounds should be fewer not more.

@@KaseyMOrr think currently it's 399 pounds on offer I think

The Dimensity 9000 is supposed to breathe down Snapdragon 8 Gen 1's neck in performance while being a lot more power-efficient. I wonder if Tom was comparing it to gaming performance on the likes of iPads (he did bring up iPad a lot in this review after all), which if he did, means the performance here will be more than satisfactory for most people.

It's a giant touchscreen, no excuse for leaving headphone jack out as well.

USB flash drive is your answer (plus USB-C to USB-A adapter if needed).

They won't, it's a Oneplus.

sadly only usb 2.0 sono video out...

​@@avieshekbought a type C hub under $30 with 1. 3.5mm jack 2. One USB 3.1 and Two USB 2.0 3. One 10GB Data transfer Type C port 4. One 100W Type C port 5. 4K30FPS/HDR 1080p one HDMI port. 6. Two Macro/micro SD Card slots. 9 in 1 Type C HUB, If you really want you can just pay an additional $30 and buy it. There is no limitation.

Dimensity 8100 is not faster than even SD 8 Gen 1 though. On AnTuTu, SD8 Gen1 scores ~18% higher than the 8100, and SD8+ Gen1 scores ~36% higher than the 8100. Dimensity 9000 scores higher than the 8 Gen1 though, but not by much (4-10%). And 8+ Gen1 still scores 6-11% higher than the 9000. I agree that the 9000 should still be no slouch, but you were possibly expecting it to be more impressive than it really is.

Dimensity 9000 is a great chip, but as you said it's a good competitor of the SD8G1 which is the last year chip, they are already have the SD8G2, and that is way better in lot if area, especially in graphics and in power consumption, both are important in tablets (or can make the tablet to even better for daily usage)

Dimensity 9000 is faster than sd 8+ gen 1

@@nakhashfaiz3623 only the CPU side is stronger, the GPU side is weaker, but newer SD8G2 stronger on CPU and GPU side too. (they are already have Dimensity 9200 too..)

@@TamasKiss-yk4st bruh it doesn't matter. Tablets with an sd 8 gen 2 would cost more than twice this one. Why are we even having this conversation? If oneplus wanted to make a tablet with sd8gen2 they wouldve. The point of this tablet is to be the best in its price range, which it is. And don't forget that the much more expensive s8 tablets use 8gen1s which are worse than the dimensity 9000 ( sustain loads, heating etc even though it has slightly higher peak gpu performance)

Not everyday you see someone describe OnePlus as "quality". Glad it's working for you but OnePlus are infamous for their horrendous quality control and post sale support.

12.9-inch iPad Pro m1 battery life is absolutely awful.

My brand new m2 ipad pro is amazing except the battery life 😭

You gonna regret these value cheap shit.

Unfortunately those will cost double this unit

pixel tab will be one up in everything. Price however will be double too.

Pixel tablet price will be somewhere near 600€ what the rumors tell.

With everything that has leaked in the last week, the Pixel tab isn't looking that great. Midrange hardware for a premium-ish price... Only thing it has going for it is it's dock/smart hub functionality.

Can you recommend this one for taking notes? I want to have a tablet for the review..

I went Lenovo as well, and I want this thing. Lenovo gave me one update on my Tab P11 Plus, and cut off support. I don't even get security patches. They also didn't have an English version of their folio keyboard available in Canada. When I asked them to help me source an English model, they told me they only had a SKU for the French model. It's a shame because the tablet itself has some decent hardware. The display is nice, the speakers are great, and they also have the folio keyboard concept, but Lenovo is an awful company with zero support.

@@mattmurray07 yup I agree mine is less than 6 months old and useless, delays and lag when just trying basic functions.

They mostly use it for multimedia.

3rd party developers should pick up the slack but I wish oneplus supported thier own devices more after release

For the same price you could get an OLED Lenovo.

@@M13 It has horrible software support to even brick devices when updated.

​​@@frankreynolds9930 not been my experience, but it does seem Lenovo/Motorola is finally committing to some improvement in their update policies. Had my P11 pro 3 months and already received 3 updates for it, last one being on the 29th of March with Android's March security patch. My cheap Motorola phone has been updated to this month's Android security patch...

Just got my Xiaomi pad 5 and have been seriously impressed for the price (£320). I have a Pixel 7 and there are some pretty big software differences, but if you want to just do some light browsing and general media consumption it's a fantastic little device!

@@JonLines Yeah, i wouldn't want the OS for my phone, it's a bit to simple for my taste. But I mostly use my tablet for media consumption and web browsing. And for that I think the 5 is excellent. Great screen, never loses connection to Bluetooth or wifi, great battery and very snappy! It doesn't share the eco-system benefits that Apple and Samsung does with their device's. But I'm not sure how much i really need that in this case.

OLED and 256gb and I'd be happy

LCD is better. Better battery life and no burn in. High quality LCDs are very similar in quality to oled

@@crazyforiegner2 I see your point but I have never experienced any burn in on any OLED with normal use. I agree a high quality LCD shouldn't have issues, I have a hunch the OP Pad is not high quality though based on other reviews I am seeing, lots of notes of blurry scrolling.

@@Betancourtdm well I think the solution is to use a higher quality LCD displays. The tab S7 fe gets 17hr web browsing battery life whereas the tab S7+ gets 7hr with the same size screens and battery size. The battery trade off is too big

@@crazyforiegner2 Maybe. I am not sure the display is the main factor for battery drain there, the Snapdragon 750g draws 5w of power vs 10w on the 865. Also OLED is somewhat user specific in that battery drain is highly dependent on dark mode vs light mode. Obviously LCD will perform similarly in both cases due to the always on backlight.

How’s is it

I used to have a Samsung flagship phone, but they are just slow and laggy, i will never go back to one ui it just isnt as smooth as other os while oxygen os is the fastest android os

Finally got mine on Friday, first impressions, nice and smooth, keyboard, is just like my ipad pro one, but it is very smart looking, and light

Same here Just an IPad mini 6 with Android and Oled display All of these tablets above 10 inch and LCD 😢

Lenovo Legion y700. Only released in China though, so you'd need to import it. The rom is almost stock Android though, SD870 CPU, 8.8 inch 2k, 120Hz screen.

@@michaeldendulk2230 Yep The only alternative right now. Cheaper than iPad. LCD screen sadly but reviews say it’s great

144HZ display/better pixel density compared to S8 More powerful Dimensity 9000 SOC compared to Galaxy S8 67W Fast charging OnePlus stylo, A worthy competitor of Apple Pencil Better ram/storage Under $500. Definitely OnePlus pad is more value for money than S8/S7 tablets. ⭐ I would have went for S8 only if it has an Amoled display but it has an LCD and 120HZ

Do you think he’s a Oneplus employee?

Who knows. They may end up bringing a pro version out if this sells well fingers.crossed.

@@katinasoutherland7693 wouldn't expect to see 8 gen 2 or Dimensity 9200 tablets this year. For some reason tablets always lag a year behind phones for CPU's, unless you go with top range Samsung tablets, which will probably release their S9 range with 8 gen 2 chips in the Fall. For most tablets the latest and greatest isn't really interesting anyway, as they're mostly used for media consumption.

Same here with an S6. The keyboard, though, really has scratched up my tablet's screen!

@@RickMaloch yes! Totally regret not putting screen protector as I thought this keyboard case would be enough. It was not. I do have some major scratches.

Definitely not an honor 8 pad. If you decide to stick with android I would get this Oneplus pad or the Xiaomi pad.

I hope you got the iPad lol

Good points

Would have*

Under $449 OnePlus pad is definitely the best tablet in specs. They should have launched a OnePlus pad pro with the flagship Snapdragon 8Gen2 with Amoled display. You should know, an 11 inch amoled display costs around $250. If they have given an OLED/Amoled display, then the price would have been around $600 and people would have gone for ipads.

youre totally fine with pad 5, not worth the upgrade

Honestly that's what I really want

That's a fair point. my mistake

yes
