One plus tablet

You can see that picture at the top of this article, with the company’s first tablet coming in a Halo Green shade, which OnePlus claims “blends the vibrancy of life with the vastness of space”. There may be other colors offered too, but this is the only one we’ve been told about. The design of the OnePlus Pad includes an aluminum alloy body and a cambered frame, which should make it comfortable to hold for extended periods, according to OnePlus. We don’t have a full view of the OnePlus Pad or any indication of the specs, other than the number of cameras, but from what we can see, it seems this could be quite an attractive slate, and one with a reasonably premium appearance. The small number of cameras shouldn’t be a problem either, since tablets are few people’s main device for snapping photos or videos. We’ll learn plenty more about the OnePlus Pad soon, since February 7 is fast approaching, and with most details of the OnePlus 11 already known, this could actually be the more interesting element of the big launch event. A slightly larger view of the OnePlus Pad (Image credit: OnePlus) Analysis: a much-needed new entry in the Android tablet market While a lot of questions remain about the OnePlus Pad, its mere existence is cause for celebration, as currently the Android tablet market is dominated primarily by Samsung at the top end and Amazon lower down. The OnePlus Pad could perhaps offer a tempting option between those two extremes – depending on the specs and price. Co...

Also notable is the matching keyboard that attaches magnetically, and the stylus for pen input. Both are sold separately. OnePlus claims the battery life is good for over 12 hours of continuous video playback; you can watch Seven Samurai three times plus a couple episodes of The Office before recharging. It is available in one color (green) and will be available for preorder in April for an undetermined price. Hovering ominously in the background here is the notion that Google is expected to debut its In its announcement, Netflix detailed its plans for limiting account sharing. Now, anyone not living in the same household as the account holder will be prompted to transfer their profiles to a new paid account or be cut off. Netflix says the restrictions will roll out more broadly within months. It also said the service would “refine these new features based on member feedback.” As you might imagine, that feedback has been not great.

If you know OnePlus as a brand, this story likely sounds familiar. The company came on to the scene about a decade ago with Android smartphones that had premium specs at cut-rate prices. For a long time, a OnePlus phone was the best enthusiast smartphone deal you could find. But in recent years, OnePlus’ phones have steadily gotten more expensive and harder to distinguish from their Samsung counterparts. The Pad, however, feels a bit like a return to the old OnePlus. That isn’t to say the Pad is perfect — far from it. Though it has the standard keyboard and stylus accessories expected for a tablet in 2023, they aren’t as good as Apple or Samsung’s options. It also doesn’t have nearly the level of software features, accessories, or integrations as a Samsung tablet or iPad. It wouldn’t be my choice for a productivity-focused tablet. From its size and price, you’d think the OnePlus Pad would compete with Apple’s $449 10th-gen iPad or $599 iPad Air or Samsung’s midrange tablets. But the Pad’s specs and the quality of its screen really make it more of a competitor to Apple and Samsung’s high-end tablets, just at a price you’d pay for a lower-tier model. The Pad has an 11.6-inch screen, putting it between the 11-inch iPad Pro and the 12.9-inch model. Thanks to its trimmer bezels, however, the Pad fits that larger screen in a footprint similar to the 11-inch Pro. Those small bezels make the Pad look great next to an iPad, but they present a real problem when using the tablet, as ...

Everything. Not to repeat myself, but this is OnePlus' first tablet. All of its uncharted territory for OnePlus. And, for the most part, there's a lot to like here. 1. Smooth performance and multitasking I've used the OnePlus Pad as strictly an entertainment device, with some very light gaming, and as my primary writing device, using iA Writer and Google Docs, and never have I felt like it was underpowered or that it was struggling to keep up with whatever task was at hand. Also: One aspect of the overall experience I enjoyed using was the multitasking features built into OxygenOS, the operating system the Pad runs. More specifically, I found myself frequently using a quick gesture on the display to effectively split the display in half, putting one app on the left side of the screen, and a second on the other half. A two-finger swipe down from the top of the screen was all it took. The OnePlus Pad's keyboard and trackpad are part of the optional Magnetic Keyboard.

Even if the OnePlus Pad isn't better than an iPad or a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE, thanks to its 7:5 screen, it's brilliantly suited to creative tasks, and with plenty of power, booming speakers and a great suite of optional accessories, it's also a competent workhorse and entertainment slate. While the interface could be better optimized for pen input and a tablet display, the OnePlus Pad is still a fine first showing. Most interesting for photographers and creators in general, the OnePlus Pad has a 7:5 aspect ratio screen. This might not sound like a big deal, but it creates a canvas perfectly suited to apps like Lightroom, and video editing tools like Lumafusion. By choosing a screen that’s so much more square than alternatives like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S series, OnePlus also down-prioritizes content consumption slightly. Cinematic, 21:9 video is played back with chunky black strips above and below the picture. Available in just one color, Halo Green, the tablet is instantly recognizable, looks rich, and the metal back and sides feel premium to the touch. With rounded corners and edges, when compared to an iPad or Galaxy Tab S8, the OnePlus Pad sits into the hand for a softer hold, so while it isn't particularly light, it's comfortable to handle it and watch an episode on Disney Plus or Netflix without any discomfort. We also like the brushed metal pattern along the back, as well as the camera surround styling – it's instantly recognizable, though some might miss having...
