Why the OnePlus Pad is Worth It...

[@TheDonRMZ]

I bought the first OnePlus Phone back when you had to get an invite to purchase the phone and seeing them release this tablet has me excited to get it! The phone was ahead of its time with features this is a good competitor for the iPad

[@Kayfabe-226]

I'm a One Plus guy and this tablet looks like it's great match for my One Plus 11 phone...Great Review 👍

[@MrKragen121]

Me too!

[@AlienFrequency]

I do like the color and design of the tablet, but I’m NOT an android guy. So, I’m just here for the glorious SKB and his fresh video editing style. Also, NWO 4 Life, buddy! Those are my main takeaways from this video.

[@mikecrabtree8200]

Charging. I have approximately 15+ tablets. All but two are iPads. Those two are OPPads. I slow charge everything. If the device is made to do 80watt charging and you do it at 12watt. Your device is going to last longer. I’ve got multiple OP phones that I charge at 12watt and every one after a year is still at 100% battery health. And yah. OP does battery health like iPhone. Only other device that lets me know. And if the OPTablet does battery health, which I have not looked at. It would be one more reason for me to stop using iPads.

Waiting for the Google Pixel Tablet just to try out, I'm an iPad user and always have been.

[@andrewjohnson1486]

This color is dope. And pretty good use of Dimensity chip as well in the mid-range segment. Good launch.

[@ElshamyWalid]

one of the best reviewers on youtube period

[@michaelfedorsha8147]

Great video... I just got my OnePlus tablet with the keyboard for free. Amazon had a deal Not sure if it's still going but for 479 you got the tablet and the keyboard. Great deal! If I'm not mistaken there is a 12 gig model with 256 GB of storage but that may have to be imported

[@TheOnlyEpsilonAlpha]

I like the design, and i like the color as well. And the price point is a killer against what apple charges for it. But i would buy an iPad anyway, and that is simply: Because of the software. The amount of apps which are adjusted and take full advantage of that bigger screen are fairly limited. And i don't talk about content consuming stuff like videos, pictures and eBooks. That stuff barely scales by itself. Also Websites are not what i'm talking about. I'm talking about Apps which offer additional options, buttons, status bars and just more UI available.

[@Supernova1604]

Will it also work with recent Oppo phones like with OnePlus phones?

[@MaxAndersonn]

When is this one plus pad coming out and does it have quad speakers?

[@youtubeaqua7796]

Yes

[@GhostDigital2k]

Nice tablet but I hope a pro version comes.

[@marcochavanne]

Would have loved it if they offered it in the same finish of the black OP 11.

[@tdotholla]

I’m a iPad user but that’s a nice side tablet for sure. Great video!

[@lesburrows8469]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences 😊

[@DeusEx.Machina]

Apple has been getting away with annoying limitations and portrait cameras because they are technically unrivaled in the tablet space. Waiting for the Pixel Tablet and hopefully Google enriches the Android tablet experience; This OnePlus Pad is good enough for a start, but hopefully they lose the MediaTek processor and go for a Qualcomm one and make a pro tablet variant.

[@STANI420]

yeah slap a 8 gen 2 or something in that bad boy and I want it

[@corsinivideos]

MediaTek CPU's are actually very strong now, this Dimensity 9000 is not too far off of the Snapdragon Gen 1 in performance. The google tablet will potentially be a fail as the screen refresh rate may not even be 120hz and the Tensor G2 is not a great cpu. Will be better optimized better yes but I'm not expecting much and the price will be higher. The battery on this oneplus tablet is said to be absolutely amazing too, wont be seeing that on the tensor G2.

[@STANI420]

@@corsinivideos yeah they are more then enough for most stuff but not for the stuff i want the performance for, emulation :/ but yeah it prolly is close in synthetic tests like Geekbench and AnTuTu

[@corsinivideos]

@@STANI420 Yeah, I think some emulators have improved Mali GPU performance lately but Snapdragon Gen 1 is still best, the only option for a budget tablet with SD Gen1 is Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro though but its China exclusive.

[@STANI420]

@@corsinivideos yeah they are improving Mali performance, and its improving pretty fast. Yeah you don't have much choice, but hopefully that improve in the near future. but even a sd870 would be nice.

[@atifghafoor6258]

How does this compare to like a tab s7 which will be the same sort of price used.

[@rolins3279]

Buy the Tab S7

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

The primary advantage would be that this will get 3 years of Android updates in 4 years of security patches while the tab S7 will be stuck on Android 13. But the tab S7 has video output and Dex. ... And you can probably find it for less than $300 on the resale market. They also have versions with 512 GB of storage and it has expandable storage so I would probably lean towards the tab S7 unless you care about getting Android 14 and 15 etc.

[@weekendwarrior8179]

You think it's better than the tab s7? Because I'm not seeing it? Does it recognize hand writing as text to search?

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

I think it looks pretty nice but I wish it had video output. I know a lot of people use tablets just for media consumption but I think they can be valuable productivity devices. This is obviously an area where Samsung has dex -- And that is a huge draw for me for their tablets. Even the iPad has external screen monitoring support via USBC to HDMI. .

[@WarChortle]

144 hz clock and weather app? HMmm never knew I needed that in my life. xD

[@sosiehtesaus2652]

I ordered it and I'm excited

[@Campwise05]

Nice video SKB!

[@monday304]

Can you multitask with three apps open at the same time like in the OnePlus open?

[@btestptest4627]

They have said that is coming in a future update, but no word on when

[@MasterTuttoo]

Damn that mic on the tablet is nice

[@jexxy1806]

Love SKB... but lets be real that Camera module on the back is hideous lol. Other then that this is a cool looking keyboard!.

[@sergioramalho4942]

GPS on OnePlus?

[@niveZz-]

even if a lot of people won't choose this over the ipad it's at least some competition for apple

[@jasonchioino5878]

Wish you did more reviews, you used to be THE GUY, next to Technobuffalo. Glad you're still doing reviews. :)

[@WonderBlubber]

I saw that master chief appearance lmao

[@Larva04]

Hope xiaomi make a tablet with 7:5 aspect ration too

[@DrMS96]

USB type is 2.0 😢 Also please include HDR black crush issue in future videos. Mi pad 5 has it & I m sure Oneplus has it too. Otherwise nice video.

[@Alba0825]

$479???? I'm no apple user but for that price, I would rather to get an iPad over this.

[@mr.lucifer70691]

4:16 😂😂😂😂

[@Nishi69678]

I don't know y im watching this but atlast I will buy ipad i know😂

[@hueyfreeman7010]

The deal breaker is the 128GB with no explanation storage.

[@youtubeaqua7796]

Buy from india,they have up to 256gb.

[@youtubeaqua7796]

And also the price difference blw the 128 and 256 in India is $16 only.

[@erwansalim]

The shipping is expensive from India

[@gaming-zombie1392]

I want one

[@APOWER385]

Well it has it's flaws it's not that smooth and has stutters.

[@nethook5588]

128 GB of storage? I really really don’t understand why Apple and all other competitors are ultra pro MAX greedy on storage and how can they get away with it? especially when storage is so cheap in now days. It should be a minimum of 1tb for base models!

[@ShireenPlays]

As a OnePlus phone owner who doesn't currently need a tablet, I think this has a lot of potential! I always love watching your reviews; they're always so thorough and we'll edited!

[@oneminutewonder77]

Hardly worthy of being called a competitor to the iPad honestly. Despite all the improvements that have been made to tablets through the last couple of Android versions, most applications still aren't designed to take advantage of it.

[@RossMKF1]

Looks like a knock off ipad the camera orientations are nice tho

[@Growler57]

Have you ever rubbished a major tech company aka apple Samsung can’t remember you saying anything to bad about them

[@nethook5588]

It looks like a copy paste iPad no creativity whatsoever ok it’s different size but it’s an iPad clone. I’m only taking about the overall design. Even the homepage is looking very similar to iOS.

[@rolins3279]

It's still absurd to realize that, except perhaps for gaming (and even that remains to be verified), the Galaxy Tab S7/S7+ are better at all levels than all the Android tablets (except Tab S8) released after them 🤦🏽‍♂️ Another Android tablet with a USB-C 2.0 port in 2023, no fingerprint sensor, no SD card support, and above all no software really adapted and designed for tablets 😬 Android manufacturers, including Samsung, really need to think about stopping using smartphone processors in their tablets, it's really time to have processors that are much more powerful than those of Android smartphones and specially designed for tablets, it's not normal that a 2018 iPad Pro is even more powerful than all the Android tablets released last year and even this year. Ps: Android tablet without SD card support is big bul#shit !!!

[@carlbrenda6518]

A 2018 iPad Pro may be more powerful spec wise, but in 2023 it's nearing the end of it's life cycle. Also people tend to forget the price of the "superior" device they are making comparisons to. SD card would be nice, but 128gb is sufficient for apps. a usb-c storage drive can be used for adding/removing to free up storage. $479.00 is a fair preice for what it offers....

[@rolins3279]

@@carlbrenda6518 I just took the iPad Pro 2018 as an example to show how Android tablets are left out of the game if we want to talk. Otherwise, you can have a refurbished 2020 iPad Pro from Apple or Amazon, around $500. Ps:I think even the 2018 iPad Pro will still get at least 2-3 iPad Os updates.

[@rolins3279]

@@carlbrenda6518 I forgot, for the power, look more towards the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro with its Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and which will have almost the same price as this OnePlus-Pad, maybe even cheaper.

[@niveZz-]

i never needed an sd card since 2019 i always bought like 256gb of storage which was enough sd cards are way slower than ufs (but honestly since so many want sd card slots why not add one) putting a "better" SoC in your tablet ruins the battery life (i have seen the m1 ipad pro getting a 6 hour SoT while the ipad 9th gen got 10 hours) currently im using a xiaomi pad 5 pro which is great for gaming but i really wish they made their os better i even flashed a custom rom but that didn't make things much better

[@hristoborislavov6578]

With Android and all the bad apps for it there is definitely no way this will change my iPad haahahahahaha
