OnePlus has recently expanded its tablet portfolio in India with the launch of the OnePlus Pad 2, which is a successor to the OnePlus Pad. The tablet arrived with a sleek premium design with some impressive features. According to the company the OnePlus Pad 2 is one of the best tablet currently available in the market and to ensure that we have tested the device for a while to dig into the performance and usability. So here we are with a comprehensive review of the OnePlus Pad sharing our experience and thought about the tablet.
OnePlus Pad 2 Price in India
First and foremost, the OnePlus Pad 2 is launched for the Indian market with a price tag of Rs 39,999 for the base variant and Rs 42,999 for the top-end variant. The Tablet comes in Nimbus Gray colour option with 8GB RAM + 128GB and 12GB RAM + 256GB storage. To us the price seems competitive comparing other options.
OnePlus Pad 2: Sleek Premium Design and Display
OnePlus Pad 2 boasts a clean, sleek, and premium design with gigantic display. The tablet comes with a plethora of accessories which also includes keyboards and SPen. The OnePlus Pad 2 features a unique design with curved sides, except for one flat edge designed to accommodate stylus charging. It boasts a large 12.1-inch display and a flat metal back that elegantly curves towards the edges.
The OnePlus Pad 2 features a 12.1-inch 3K display with a sharp resolution of 3,000 x 2,120 pixels. Offering a high adaptive refresh rate of 144 Hz and a pixel density of 304 ppi—outperforming the iPad Air’s 264 ppi—the display ensures crisp, smooth visuals. With a peak brightness of 900 nits, the screen remains brilliantly clear, even in bright environments.
Hardware
The real powerhouse is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, the same flagship processor found in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This ensures top-tier performance, supported by RAM and storage options of 8 GB/128 GB and 12 GB/256 GB, with LPDDR5X RAM. However, it’s worth noting that the storage is UFS 3.1, a step down from the latest UFS 4.0 standard.
Camera And Battery
The tablet is equipped with a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera, providing solid imaging capabilities. Audio performance is enhanced by six built-in speakers, though the absence of a headphone jack might be a drawback for some users. Powering it all is a robust 9510 mAh battery, which supports 67W fast charging, and unlike many other devices today, it includes a charger in the box.
Performance Verdict
If you’re in the market for a tablet to serve as a secondary device or a seamless extension of your workstation, the OnePlus Pad 2 stands out as the top choice right now. It’s lightweight, powerful, and delivers impressive clarity and sound. Much like the OnePlus Nord 4, it offers many flagship features without the flagship price tag.
OnePlus Watch 2R Review
Meanwhile, we have also used the newly launched Watch 2R along with the OnePlus Pad 2. The wearable comes with a redesigned dial, easy removable straps, dual push buttons, and a lot more among the others. The OnePlus Watch 2R boasts a sleek, premium design with subtle updates compared to the OnePlus Watch 2, which launched earlier this year. It maintains its impressive 46mm size as the only available option. The watch comes in two stylish colors—Forest Green and Gunmetal Gray—and is priced at Rs 17,999.
One of the standout features of the OnePlus Watch 2R is its impressive battery life. According to OnePlus, you can expect between 48 and 100 hours of use on a single charge, depending on your usage. With GPS, always-on display, and various fitness features active, I managed to achieve over 2.5 days of battery life. When it’s time to recharge, the Watch 2R can go from 0% to 100% in just one hour.
For Android users seeking a mid-range smartwatch with outstanding battery longevity, the OnePlus Watch 2R is a top contender. It’s worth visiting a store to experience it firsthand before making your purchase.
