Man this thing looks great, I am excited for more people to transition to tablet computing

Little bummed that there's no USB C video output. That's a pretty important feature for me on a tablet. I don't know why they couldn't at least just give us screen mirroring. I'm sure they have their reasons.

Excellent review as usual. Thanks Juan! 😊I'm considering a tablet for multimedia and casual office work. Would this be a good choice, or are iPads better for work/play balance?

Why, you sneaky little....I just finished listening to this morning's podcast which left me thinking you'll have to wait for the next pre order round 😂 Love how this looks!

Been holding out for quite a while on a tablet. This might be the one for me to get.

If you could do a drawing review on this tablet focusing on the stylus performance, would be super helpful

The back of it looks so outdated it reminds me of tablets of 2012

6:43 This side magnetic charging is actually how Apple has been doing it since the iPad Pro 2018....

Did you get the f5 pro for review as well, or only the f5?

i ordered this tablet. can't wait until it arrives. it looks great in this video.

This tablet rocks - very awesome - $399 now - free stylus - $75 for the keyboard case - get it folks

How does it stack up against the Lenovo/Xaoxin Pad Pro? Slimmer body and bezels and great sound with an OLED display. Only downside is there is no integrated GPS. Great video!

Nice vid! Would anyone know if this OnePlus Pad is a good competitor or better option than my Samsung Tab S7?

Great review. I just picked one up for $400 US with the keyboard folio included. This is the best tab Ive ever used and Ive used Samsung Tabs in the past.

I love the idea of a tablet solution, especially with how efficient arm soc has become. If only we could get better third party software support for android.

Try swiping down from the top with two fingers. I heard that creates a split screen. Love the channel!!!!

sick vid! do you think OP will release a higher end version within the year or so? something to compete with the iPad Pro?

how is it with microsoft office and the pen for note taking?

Does it have LTE/5G? can this make phone call? I wish I can find a full feature tablet that can still make phone call, do you know any?

I'm torn between this and the iPad pro 11 128gb m2. I wanna primarily use a tab for multi layer 4k editing, which one would you suggest I should go with? Can the Oneplus pad handle such tasks or should I save up and get the iPad pro instead?

is there an option to hide this home bar at the bottom like with samsung you have the option to put them at the right bottom instead of the middle?

check out the Lenovo P11 Pro Gen2. Seems about as good (but Mediatek Kompanio instead of Mediatek Dimensity) but a good deal cheaper.

In 2017 i remember tablet market was completely vanished because of 6 inch phones coming in market. But i see in 2022 tablets are coming with nice lcd display with good ram processors and battery. So i see sales tablets getting high. Nokia tab t20 and t10 are stock Android tablets which are new in this field and battery life and display is superb compare to past tablet and this is the reason i am purchasing this one. Because i remember those days when i purchased a lenovo tablet in 2015 which has worst in terms of everything if you compare nowadays. So yeah tablets are coming back but with a powerful specs and cheap price 😊

If they offer any promos on a OneOlus 12 and OnePlus Pad bundle tomorrow, would you still recommend it now?

literally just saw an ad for this tablet on facebook i think, im actually looking for a decent tablet so this is helpful. between the a8 from samsung or the xiaomi tab and now this

I think you should review a Xiaomi Pad 6/ 6 Pro both has video output and a direct competitor to OnePlus Pad.

Love what OnePlus did right here

Is the pad gonna have any green lines like the phones❓would it be ok for a long run like 4-5 years like a allrounder❓plz help❗ 🥺🥺

$997CAD for the Pad/keyboard/pen combo in Canada. Not bad ... and if I was looking for a new tablet right now I'd consider it. It's just not a form factor I use much at all. I have an older iPad from about 6 years ago that barely gets turned on as it is. Mainly use it to pull up a recipe in the kitchen on something larger than my phone. It does look like a great option for tablet-seekers though. Definitely solid competition for Samsung. (Finally.) I could see it being a popular option for artists. Heck, maybe even 3D modellers. Are there good CAD programs for Android? I've never looked, but that could be cool for the 3D printer crowd too.

Can you pinch to zoom on apps

Audio jack?

If no SD card slot why couldn't OnePlus just add a 256gb option? That's the only thing making me look at the Xiaomi Pad Pro 6

PSA on the Lenovo tablet. I bought the Chinese ROM Lenovo P11 Pro 2021 (Xiaoxin Pad Pro). Maybe it's just my unit, but the unit feels like it has a very finicky resistive touch screen when you're not holding the unit, making it almost unusable when propped on a desk other than as a video player. It's okay when you're holding it though, so I didn't return the unit because it was very good value for money at the time. Stylus loses power mid-use. You have to hit it relatively hard or remove then re-insert the battery for it to function again. But the worst thing is that when I reset the unit to check if that would fix the touch issues after upgrading to ZUI 14, it removed the desktop mode and Google playstore. I sideloaded the google APK after a few days of research. I don't use the keyboard anymore after PC mode disappeared because it's no longer a laptop replacement without it. My frustration's just too much that I post this comment on all videos I watch recommending Lenovo tablets. Hope you all par🎉don the unstructured rant.

Could i use a bluetooth mouse with this? Also, is google docs functionality good?

Very cool. I think a lot of people even myself over buy. (I got an m1 iPad Pro and barely use all the power it has) this seems like nice competition for the lower spec iPad!

It's certainly not the end of the world using an LCD screen, but it would be nice if they would've decided to go for OLED. I suppose at the price they're selling it for though that was a cut that needed to be made. Performance with some of the new dimensity processors has been excellent, so that's a good thing in my mind.

Looks Very Nice

No oled?

Im torn between this and the the pixel tablet even though i have the oneplus 11 the google tablet with that magnetic charging dock with and added speaker and kickstand case that holds in to fit on the dock is super convient. i know the one plus has 144 hz and 67 watt charging for 479 but that dock is dope lol juan should do a comparison video!

Lovely looking device ♥️

I was hoping for LTE and/or 5G for when I'm on the road. Wi-Fi isn't always readily available. Still the ability to use it with a Oneplus phone could make a difference? 🤔

WOW! I am even more impressed.

I'll wait for Samsung and Red Magic tablets before I decide to buy them.

Charger is included in the box, unless you live in the UK.

Why announce 12gb if they are not making it available (just in India! Why??)

Man, I wish this was around two years ago when I was buying my first tablet. Been on a Samsung Tab S7(the 11" model) and it's been serving me pretty well for university related stuff like notetaking and homework. I think iPad has the better aspect ratio for this, but they don't include the stylus in the box like Samsung do, it costs 3x more, and I found the Apple Pencil worse to use compared to Samsung's Spen largely because of the thicker nib and the fact that it didn't compress into the pen the way the Spen does when you're using it. Looks like OP copied Apple's Pencil design here.

I can't help but think that this is the international version of the currently China-only Vivo Pad2. They both got the same Dimensity 9000 SoC and the same 7:5 IPS LCD screen. Even the detachable keyboard and the stylus look suspiciously identical between the two. The only difference between them is that the Vivo has a larger screen size, a bigger battery but with slower 44W charging, and USB-C 3.2 with DisplayPort capability. Also, the Vivo is somewhat cheaper at ~$360 for 8/128.

Hopefully they release a 256GB in the US

ive not used a tablet in forever i got a ipad mini but took it back last time i had a tablet for a long time was Nexus 7 hahhaha

Impressive, but no 5G? Qualcomm modems seem ahead of everybody else for now.

I unfortunately find the lack of video out to be a huge deal breaker regardless of the price of a tablet. Just disappointing that they skipped on a fairly inexpensive feature that even most cheap tablets support.

I would consider a tablet if the tablet is like my sony xperia 1 iv with same features and specs as my sony xperia 1 iv including the 4k 120hz 21:9 aspect ratio with oled display, 1,000 nits brightness with a headphone jack, 512gb storage, and a micro sd card slot with 5g support and it's unlocked. Even a red magic 8 pro gaming android tablet, basically the same features and specs as the red magic 8 pro gaming phone but in an android tablet form factor including the 120 hz display, 1,300 nits brightness, 5g support, unlocked, 512gb storage, diablo mode, under the display front facing camera and headphone jack. I used to have a sony xperia z2 tablet from verizon and I used to put the tmobile sim card in the sony tablet and use mobile data with unlimited data on the tablet. However the sony tablet only has 16gb storage and micro usb charging port.

128gb with no sdcard slot 😕

I'm happy that they weren't ashamed going with a more apple type design. The magnetic charging on the side of the tablet and taller aspect ratio makes so much sense 👍

$399 would be a compelling price 😅

Can we have a 8inch mini tablet gaming tablet? The android world are depraved of . Please give us a 8inch mini tablet gaming.

Why is it that ONLY India gets the 256GB and 12GB ram option?

The aspect ratio is very bad for watching RU-vid/Netflix

One plus pad or samsung s9 fe plus.?

I really thought you got an iPad Pro. I was like wow, Juan has joined the dark side 😅

For old people and kids, it’s easy. Are others in the family on iOS? Base iPad, for iChat and FaceTime. (Zoom doesn’t come close to replicating the ease of setting up a call to a grandparent by a little kid or vice versa. My mother couldn’t manage joining a zoom call in a million years, but she can manage to hit accept when my kids FaceTime her). Otherwise, eh, should still probably buy an iPad. People who are around old people are more likely to be familiar with iOS, so make it easy on those who might help them, and Apples parental controls are good. An older kid, like a tween or teen, who is likely reasonably tech savvy? Ok, now there are real choices to consider. Like this. Your average 10 year old would probably get a ton of use out of one of these, love the hell out of it.

I'm kinda happy seeing the tablet market at the moment growing at a slow pace. But I don't think the Oneplus Pad is the best android tablet out now; seeing now the Global side doesn't get much refreshes unlike the Asia market which specifically the China market has so many hidden gems of tablet refreshes. Just a bit of a rant; so anyone reading can just ignore. Currently, android tablets for China has the better hardware, i.e the recently released Xiaomi Mipad 6 lineup and Lenovo's Y900 (Tab Extreme for global markets). While global usually gets the downgraded & up-marked RP really makes me sad. As far that I know, Lenovo's Y900's is the only other one released using Mediatek's last gen Dimensity 9000 and the Mipad 6 out valued the Lenovo P11 Pro (especially the Xiaoxin models) in terms of hardware at similar price points. Only Xiaoxin/Lenovo P11 Pro has the advantage of better display, support for display out, decent optimized productivity apps (despite the newer OS builds removes the option for Desktop Mode by default) & more thoughtful accessories (which improves somes ideas from Apple & Samsung tablet accessories). The only downside I could personally see is probably poor software optimization for productivity work, lack of localization apps due to region locked and different markets, and folks aren't familiar with the chinese language. Also, warranty if that's a concern. Tldr; global kind of gets the end shaft of the bargain because we have Samsung & Apple to be big players in this tablet market and have their say for prices. There's so many hidden and well-valued android tablets from China that I've discovered and most Global folks won't be able to find and experience them which is a shame. So yeah, I don't think the Oneplus Pad / Oppo is the best android tablet out there, there's so many great alternatives for multiple workload and entertainment needs. Again, thank you for making these kind of videos, especially goin' deep dives into photography oriented phones and not following reviewer terms that it's okay because of "average consumers". Love your work very much🤟❤

No fingerprint, no video out, no microSD ..Hmm the Tab s7 looks like competition thoughts?

There is no black color for it

Welp, the Google tablet just demolishes this tablet with features AND it costs the same!

people are so quick to compare, and as an apple user i love seeing oneplus go for something. Samsung users are bitter from reivews i seen i dont get it. you dont have the best tablets or phones at all lol. oneplus is just an app for what google will do.

i wish there was a 5G option . i feel like Apple is the only one worth that option right now

What about note taking?

wait alien isolation is on android?

If any device whether it's a smartphone or a smart tablet does not have HDMI out with desktop mode it belongs in the trash because we're going to be paying for that price there's no excuse to not be featured with the product

Mines is on pre order, roll on the 23rd for mine with the free keyboard

That’s an attractive price, Nexus 7 attractive

i think the mi pad 5 is still better value

👍👍👍👍

Still I find my Lenovo P11 Pro Gen 2 is more equilibrate because : - you've got Amoled - you've got 256GB+microSD...128GB without SD are maybe too little, it's really a Bad point for oneplus - you've got USB3 with MHL for external screen...the second Bad point on Oneplus - Kompanio 1300T is already a powerfull soc (better than Snap 860 on Xiaomi Pad 5), and is futureproof for streaming with hardware AV1 support like 9000 (something lacks on Galaxy S8 and iPad! Software support will lead to more power consumption) - accessories are cheaper...59€ for Pen 3 for exemple But true, Oneplus Pad has some qualities : - Dimensity 9000 makes it more powerfull than Galaxy S8 - fast charge - in Europe, Oneplus offers 149€ of accessories with presales...than mean you can have the keyboard for free...interessant! And you've got 2 very different choices in term of screen ratio, so it depends of what you prefer to do with your tablet : - 15/9 on Lenovo is better for videos... - 7/5 on Oneplus is better for reading contents

Is it immature of me to consider an LCD screen in 2023 a dealbreaker on a tablet? Like, I'm sure it's fine but I mean....
