No, it’s not aniPad– but it could be one of thebest tabletsthat isn’t. The newOnePlusPad is the company’s first ever tablet, and it’s a bit different from your averageAndroidone. Pricing and availability haven’t been announced yet – which means we can’t really say how it compares to rivals such asSamsung Galaxy tablets– but the combination of OnePlus’s reputation, the attractive design and a decent spec has certainly got me intrigued.
The best of both worlds?
The OnePlus Pad appears to be taking inspiration from both theiPadand the Galaxy Tab. There’s an included pen, called the Stylo, and anApple-esque magnetic keyboard too. And likeSamsungand Apple, OnePlus has been working on features that tie its phones and its tablets together, so for example if you have aOnePlus phoneyou can use its personal hotspot automatically. That means it’ll be a great partner for devices such as theOnePlus 11.
That phone is one of the key reasons this tablet is so interesting. As we said in our review, “OnePlus has positioned itself as another of those smartphone manufacturers racing ahead of the rest” and OnePlus is very good at delivering premium features without the matching price tag. So while the official pricing announcement is still a couple of weeks away, I’ll be amazed if the OnePlus Pad isn’t priced extremely competitively. This is definitely one to watch.
