Today was held the Cloud 11 conference, ahead of the MWC in Barcelona. The brand has officially presented its OnePlus 11 that we tested, but also the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 as well as its mechanical keyboard. With this, she lifted the veil on the OnePlus Pad, her first touchscreen tablet. OnePlus promises great things, especially in terms of productivity: enough to make it a real Android alternative to Apple’s iPad Pro?
A slim design with a photo block placed in the middle
The OnePlus Pad differs quite a bit from its competitors with edges that are not sharp, but on the contrary rounded. The borders around the slab are relatively thin for the market (6.54 mm), which allows the screen to cover 88% of the front surface. Only one color will be available, namely green.

We see on the official images that the front camera is located on the upper edge when the tablet is positioned in landscape format. Enough to have a more natural setting for video calls, which is becoming more and more democratized on this type of product. However, the originality of the design of the OnePlus Pad lies in the rear photo block. Where all the other competitors tend to ostracize it in a corner, OnePlus has not made that choice. The Pad’s photo block on the back is centered and therefore invites you to take pictures while holding the tablet horizontally.

Regarding the screen, we are entitled to an 11.61-inch panel that supports Dolby Vision technology. But where the brand is strong is on the refresh rate: 144 Hz. Enough to enjoy its video games thoroughly, but also cloud gaming which is becoming more and more popular.
RAM and fast charging for the OnePlus Pad
On the hardware side, the OnePlus Pad is rather well endowed, since it is equipped with the SoC Dimenstity 9000 from MediaTek, integrating a Cortex-X2 core clocked at 3.05 MHz. The RAM is not left out with no less than 12 GB of RAM. All of this will allow you to use the Android operating system with the OxygenOS interface. The big challenge for the brand will be to offer a good software experience with numerous customization options, which competitors may lack today. To talk about audio, we find Dolby Atmos, which is quite classic.

On autonomy, OnePlus announces 14.5 hours of video playback and up to a month of standby endurance. This is made possible by a large 9510 mAh battery. The latter can be recharged at a maximum power of 67 W thanks to the manufacturer’s SuperVOOC technology. According to the manufacturer, this would allow the OnePlus Pad to be fully charged in 80 minutes, which would be very good considering what is being done on the Android tablet market.
What price and release date for the OnePlus Pad?
You should know that the OnePlus Pad will be delivered with the Stylo stylus as well as a magnetic keyboard. For the moment, we do not know when the first OnePlus tablet will be available or at what price. Answers “in the coming weeks. We imagine, however, a high-end price positioning in view of the technical specifications indicated.
