After years of making impressive Android phones, OnePlus has finally branched out into tablets with the OnePlus Pad.
OnePlus Pad release date and price
The OnePlus Pad was unveiled on February 7, alongside the global launch of the OnePlus 11, where we also saw the OnePlus Buds Pro 2. The device was then unveiled properly to journalists at MWC 2023, but OnePlus still didn’t share release dates and price information during this event.

OnePlus Pad design and display
The OnePlus Pad comes in a Halo Green shade and has an aluminum alloy body and a cambered frame. You can also see that there’s a single-lens camera on the back, and another on the front, housed in a bezel above the display.
It weighs 550g, is 6.5mm thick, and OnePlus claims the tablet is designed to feel light and easy to hold for extended periods.
The slate has slim 6.54mm bezels and an 88% screen-to-body ratio, and that display is an 11.61-inch screen with a 7:5 aspect ratio and a super-high 144Hz refresh rate. It has a 2800×2000 pixel resolution, which is impressively sharp, and it offers 296 pixels per inch and 500 nits of brightness.
OnePlus notes that the size and shape make it ideal for ebooks, while the refresh rate could benefit gaming.
OnePlus Pad camera and battery
The OnePlus Pad packs two cameras: a 13MP main sensor on the rear, and an 8MP selfie camera on the front. Interestingly, the tablet’s rear sensor is positioned slap-bang in the middle of the frame, which OnePlus says should help make photos appear more natural.
The OnePlus Pad has a 9,510mAh battery with 67W charging, which can fully juice it up in 80 minutes. OnePlus says you’ll get over 12.4 hours of video-watching and one-month standby life from the device.
OnePlus Pad specs and features
The OnePlus Pad is powered by a high-end MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset clocked at up to 3.05GHz. That’s not quite a match for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 found in the OnePlus 11 but it shouldn’t be too far off.
It’s joined by up to 12GB of RAM, and OnePlus boasts that the slate is capable of keeping up to 24 apps open at once.
Other OnePlus Pad features include Quad Speakers with Dolby Atmos audio, and the slate is compatible with both a OnePlus Stylo and OnePlus Magnetic Keyboard, so it should be good for creativity and productivity.
