OnePlus Pad 2 After 2 Weeks: Everything You Need To Know!

[@joannasisemore7184]

my deal breaker for this is if it needs repairs there is only one service center in the united states. for instance, if the battery needs to be replaced they have to do it because its proprietary and regular repair stores will not have it available. no one ever mentions customer service and warranty info in reviews. i bought a new S8 instead for a lot less.

[@JimIBobIJones]

A tab S8 gives you a lot less though... It has a processor that's starting to show its age and much less ram.

[@joannasisemore7184]

@@JimIBobIJones the S8 is perfect for my needs. It was cheaper than the pad 2 and does what I need it to do. I can also have the peace of mind to know it can be fixed by my fast and friendly local repair shop if needed.

[@dr.fitprofessor4363]

Personally, I own the original OnePlus pad and I've been very satisfied with it. In my opinion, the biggest draw to this tablet is the Snapdragon 8 generation 3 chipset. Frankly, it's the best chipset available bar none. Still, the mediatek dimensity 9000 is no slouch and is quite capable. I haven't experienced any issues with it. Obviously, OnePlus did an amazing job with the pad too but, I don't feel the need to upgrade as of yet. Furthermore, last year's magnetic keyboard appears far more stable than this years. Either way, both tablets are a very good value.

[@nikc1313]

Received mine yesterday and blown away by it. I'm all in on OLED. TV phone and laptop all use the tech so I was hesitant about going with an LCD display but the price using a borrowed student discount was too good to miss. Genuinely blown away by it. The display is punchy and way better than the contrast rating would suggest. It's really not far off OLED quality. Speakers are incredible and performance is epic and that's just leaving it on the default battery saving power plan. My only criticism is that palm rejection is not good enough for a tablet device with such slim bezels. I'm constantly activating the display when holding it as fingers spill onto the display.

[@edeka3]

I actually returned a s9 fe+ and got the Pad 2 instead. Amazing tab, love the pen and keyboard too. The folio is a little bit meh, it doesnt protect all sides. I will get a cushioned case for transport. Also, I got a screen protector because it doesn't have gorilla glass. Love the display, sound, etc. Performance is great! Battery life is rather good!

[@savedrotex]

Ordered one already, waiting excitedly for it. Currently have a xiaomi Pad 6 with snap dragon 870 + 8 GB Ram & 256 GB storage. It's on Android 14, but I don't know how long xiaomi will continue to update it. I contacted the OnePlus customer service and they said OnePlus pad 2 will receive 3 years of Major Android updates and 4 years of security updates meaning that it should be good with updates till 2028. I hope to use it till 2027 & then sell it late 2027 so that whoever buys it can still get a year or some months of security updates. Once I transfer all my stuff on my xiaomi Pad 6 to the oneplus pad 2, I will be selling my xiaomi Pad 6 right away.

[@dertermyd]

I switched from an 11“ IPad Pro M1 to this device. Got the preorder bonus with the charger and the keyboard for free and got the stylus as well. The value for money is really good and the stylus is excellent. Overall the tablet is really good from a price/performance perspective and the Oxygen OS is well made. But they still can't get close to the interaction between Apple's HW and SW.

@@KyleErickson It has such a score because it is capable enough to achieve it. Real world performance will reflect it too, like playing graphics intensive games like Genshin impact with high frame rates for a longer period, video rendering etc. It gives the best performance that an Android tablet could offer till date. Calling it a "mid-range" device is not fair. It is a flagship level performer. Also, what is the obsession with that jack? There are type c to audio jack converters.

I haven't used Android on a tablet for about three years but the last time I did it was a miserable experience. Common apps like Twitter didn't even have a tablet layout, they were just stretched out phone apps that looked ridiculous on a tablet sized display. Has that improved? I much prefer Android on phones and my iPad 8th gen is getting a bit long in the tooth, so I'm looking for a sub £500 replacement. I will most likely wait and see what the 11th gen iPad looks like but this would be appealing IF the app situation is better.

I want the 12"+ tablet, so pretty much only options are S9 FE+, Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro and this OnePlus Pad 2, since iPad this size is way to expensive for my usage - 900€... Galaxy has edu discount so its for 440-540€ (128/8GB and 256/12GB) with pen/without keyboard (the keyboard is kinda expensive, almost same price as Apple's - but for this model i dont see it yet available), Xiaomi 600€ with free keyboard and 80€ pen, OnePlus with free pen and 100€ keyboard is 603€.
