100% of the reviews on Amazon.co.uk give this product a positive rating.

Premium, svelte design ; Large 144Hz display ; 67W fast charging is rapid for a tablet

No fingerprint reader ; Disappointing accessory software support ; Android tablets lack key pro tablet apps

The OnePlus Pad offers great hardware at a competitive price, but the lack of software support for its own accessories and the omission of key pro-level apps on Android may leave some disappointed, especially if you’re coming from an iPad.

Display is sharper than iPad Pro ; Flagship priced like the base model ; Big battery and faster charging

Performance doesn’t match best phones ; One option for storage, RAM, color ; Stylo pen is pricey, needs charging

The OnePlus Pad defies tablet history. Whenever a better tablet comes along, it always costs more (or maybe that’s just Samsung). What OnePlus did for smartphones – offering an impressive mix of features in a slick package for a better price – it does...

Smooth and bright display ; Powerful internals ; Fast charging ; Standout design

Tablet optimisation could be better ; No expandable storage ; Very weak cameras

If you're an Android user who wants a more square, iPad-like screen, then the OnePlus Pad is your best option. It's a decent-looking slab of metal and glass, has a silky smooth refresh rate screen, plenty of power, while optional accessories help it...

Excellent battery life on paper ; Smooth and colorful LCD display

No 4G or 5G options ; No choice of colors

With the OnePlus Pad, smartphone maker OnePlus has bundled impressive display and performance specs into a striking design that will certainly turn heads. The brand’s debut tablet doesn’t knock everything out of the park, but on first viewing, it looks...

Excellent display and speakers ; Fantastic battery life ; Solid accessories ; Good performance

Cost of accessories adds up ; No charger in the box

Stunning 144Hz display ; Superb speakers ; Impressive performance ; Solid battery life

Hit-and-miss software ; Only one storage option ; No cellular option ; 80W charger sold separately in UK

The OnePlus Pad is one of the best tablets you can buy – provided you only want something for entertainment. For actually getting work done, an iPad or Windows slate remains a better choice.

Sharp, colourful screen copes well with split-screen use ; Sleek styling and great accessory line-up ; Consistently good battery life and fast charging

Big-screen take on Android could be slicker ; Aspect ratio means lots of letterboxed videos ; One storage option and no microSD expansion

It won’t truly worry the iPad, but this is still a fully-featured first attempt tablet for work and play

Bold and unique design Fun green color Sharp and vibrant LCD display Up to 144Hz refresh rate Gets 3 years of Android upgrades Fast performance

Low-quality cameras Odd placement of the rear camera Some software quirks

“The OnePlus Pad is a bold tablet from OnePlus, offering a unique design, a great display, and good performance. For a first attempt, it gets a lot right.”

Attractive design that is thin and well-built.

Lack of a fingerprint scanner is frustrating.

In the end, we found the OnePlus Pad to be good for reading, web browsing, casual drawing, office work and video calling. If you want something more tailored towards watching HDR video, then consider the 2nd generation Lenovo Tab P11 Pro, or the iPad...

Sharp and bright 144Hz display ; Speakers deliver loud and immersive sound ; Snappy performance

Expensive compared to the competition ; Heavy ; Not great for productivity

In other words, OnePlus these days actually now faces real competition. While the great screen and performance may be tempting, in my opinion, it’s not enough to justify the $70 price hike.
