OnePlus has expanded its tablet portfolio with a new variant of the OnePlus Pad, specifically designed for the Chinese market. This release marks a strategic move by OnePlus to offer a more budget-friendly tablet option, differentiating itself from the global OnePlus Pad launched last year with the Dimensity 9000 chipset.
Design and Display
The new OnePlus Pad features an impressive 11.61-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 2800 x 2000 pixels. The screen boasts a 144Hz refresh rate and 480Hz touch sampling rate, making it particularly appealing for gaming and multimedia consumption. With a peak brightness of 700 nits and a 7:5 aspect ratio, the display ensures excellent visibility even in bright environments. The tablet maintains a sleek profile at just 6.29mm thickness and weighs 533 grams, available in Tundra Green and Deep Space Grey color options.

Performance and Hardware
At the heart of the device lies the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chipset, built on a 4nm process. This processor combines Cortex-A715 and Cortex-A510 cores for balanced performance and efficiency. The Mali-G615 MC6 GPU handles graphics processing, while a 34,615mm² graphene cooling system helps maintain consistent performance during extended use. The tablet runs on ColorOS 15, featuring NFC-based quick connectivity and cross-ecosystem file sharing capabilities.
Battery and Charging
Power management is a strong suit of the new OnePlus Pad, featuring a substantial 9520mAh battery. The device supports 67W fast charging, ensuring minimal downtime when the battery needs replenishing. This combination of large battery capacity and fast charging technology makes it well-suited for extended use sessions without frequent charging interruptions.
Camera and Additional Features
The tablet comes equipped with dual 8MP cameras - one on the front and one on the rear. While not particularly groundbreaking, these cameras serve adequately for video conferencing and basic photography needs. The device also supports AI learning tools, making it suitable for both professional and educational use cases.

OnePlus has positioned the tablet competitively in the Chinese market, with the base 8GB+128GB model starting at CNY 1,999 (approximately USD 274). The company offers multiple configurations up to 12GB+512GB at CNY 3,099 (USD 424).
