Oneplus pad 2 pro is cellular or not ?

    Ouifuf, 16 Mar 2025This is definitely a language or at the very least reading ... moreYou're exhausting, no point talking to you.

      S I R E, 15 Mar 2025It's not and my English is just fine. If you want a... moreThis is definitely a language or at the very least reading comprehension issue. Read what I'm saying and don't skim it for key words lol. Let me go though everything:

      "If you want a tab with 7 series SoC yet bought the Pad 2 with 8 Gen 3, you're dumber than I initially thought."
      I have a OP 12 and wanted the tablet for multi window connect. I would still prefer the tablet to have a better screen for content and a weaker soc. And I never said I want a 7 series specifically, that's just an example of a soc that's cheaper and would give them more budget to work with for a better screen.

      "There Pad 7 and Pro from Xiaomi. Get that."
      The display specs look similar to the pad 2.

      "If you already have a one from honor or huawei, why t f are you asking for a worse performing tab?"
      This is why I say you're struggling with reading comprehension, I said I USED a pad 9, I don't own one. Something with the same philosophy of the pad 9 (weak chipset great screen) but with the budget available for something like a pad 2 or pad 2 pro would be insanely good.

      "Just be happy with what you got and if you want better still get one of the options from amsung's or Apple's pro line-up."
      So you're saying if I don't like it I should buy a tablet twice the price at least to get the 1 main benefit I want? Why do that when companies could actually make something people would appreciate?

      "Don't come back with a dumb comment questioning my liguistic skill when you don't have enough commin sense to make a simple deduction that it's not the bigger screen that makes it better, it's the Resolution, backlight control and pixel sync on tandem OLEDs that need higher processing power."
      Where did bigger screens come from? I want a better screen, doesn't have to be tandem OLED but regular OLED is usually much better than IPS LCD so that would be ideal. And well done for naming the things that make a screen better lol

      "There are too many low powered tab with great displays."
      Name one that's available in europe, especially one with an OLED outside of the magicpad 2.

      "And it seems you don't know how to convey your damn message through proper sentences. Initial comment wants lower performing tabs , next says you actually want better displays, another says laptops are better even though I already pointed out that it's targetted at different kind of user."
      Here is my exact initial comment:
      'Who needs this much power on a tablet? I have a pad 2 and I just don't use all that power. Give the pad 2 pro an oled screen and a way bigger battery but keep the same chip.'
      I clearly said I wanted a good screen and didn't care for a powerful chip from the beginning. And I never said laptops are outright better, I said for power intensive tasks you should just get a laptop, there's no benefit in a tablet over a laptop if your priority is power, ESPECIALLY if it's for AI LLMs like you mentioned earlier. And I asked you to show me an example of how a performance focused tablet is better than a laptop and that's when you brought up AI for no reason, not answering my question at all.

      "No laptop at any price point has a better display than the best offering from a tablet which like it or not is iPad Pro M4 as of now."
      Who said anything about the best? And I never wanted to compare a laptops display to a tablet, that was all you. I was comparing tablet displays to OTHER TABLETS.

      Very clear I'm talking to a brick so idk if it's worth responding again.

        Ouifuf, 15 Mar 2025I don't think English is your first language but to tr... moreIt's not and my English is just fine.

        You keep changing goal posts by once commenting on performance at one point and then display in the following.

          S I R E, 15 Mar 2025Then you're setting a standard for everyone based on y... moreI don't think English is your first language but to try and explain, what I meant was that I want a 7 series INSTEAD of a powerhouse.

          And asking for a good screen at this price is completely reasonable, look at the magicpad 2, it has a better quality screen that's also OLED and is near enough the same price as the pad 2, but the pad 2 has a 8 gen 3 while the magicpad has an 8s. Plus I have the Oneplus pad 2 and I've used the Honor pad 9 a lot and the pad 9 has a MUCH better display even though it's like half the price.

          And that's not true, if bigger better screen needed much more powerful processors then my TV would need an ryzen 7 lol. Tablets are perfect for watching movies and things on so make a tablet would a mid range ish processor and give it an amazing screen and sell it for the same price, it would sell like crazy

            Ouifuf, 15 Mar 2025I agree. I don't care about amazing photos on my phone... moreThen you're setting a standard for everyone based on your ideology. 7 series is not a powerhouse, good but powerhouse is a stretch.

            And by your own logic, you should get a reference display if that's all you care about. Buy a Sony reference monitor for $30k USD and hook it up to your laptop.

            Fact that you're on a relatively budget offering while pointlessly asking for a better display to something that is not even out yet, meaning any comments on how good the display is a gross speculation. You want the best display, Go for Tab S10 or iPad Pro M4 with Tandem OLED, it doesn't get any better than those as of today.

            More importantly, better and higher res display naturally increases the performance requirements anyway. You need all the performance you can get to actually enjoy all those pixels.

              S I R E, 15 Mar 2025By that logic taking photos and videos on a dedicated camer... moreI agree. I don't care about amazing photos on my phone, just something clean and usable. Same with tablets, give us a soc that's usable and smooth but not a powerhouse like a 7 series and I'm more than happy

              I genuinely don't think you're reading what I'm typing. I'm saying the display on a tablet should be one of the main focuses. I don't care if they're better than a laptop, tablets have other tablets to compete with.

              Different strokes different folks I guess. Happy with Windows but 11 is a bit of a downgrade to 10 imo

                Ouifuf, 14 Mar 2025Every one of the tasks you mentioned would make way more se... moreBy that logic taking photos and videos on a dedicated camera is mich better, why expect good cameras on phones?

                If you really want good displays, then you should know that there is no laptop with even comparable displays to the tablets in the same price range.

                I am already a Linux user. People complain for valid reasons unlike you complaining about more computing power.

Only company that uses bog standard displays on their devices is Apple. And just because *you* think a laptop is better does not mean everyone does. Laptops are notorious for cutting cost on everything. If you can name 1 single laptop that can be bought for a similar price to a tablet with even comparable display qualties, I'm all ears.

                      "Might as well do that" is dismissive argument. By that measure, phones ahould not try to make better cameras because dedicated cameras exist.

                      I personally hate what modern photography is on ohones with all AI bs and all but I will take that kniwing it is a phase and it'll pass soon as people realise that light is king and photography is more about working with physics than against it but anyways.

                      I am a Linux user. Keep you assumptions to yourself.

                      I don't know why people would want to use LLMs on tabs and phones but I won't go out and say it's wrong just because it doesn't align with my view, same way I don't expect anyone to understand what my needs are with such a device. One person's thought has no right to negate someone else's needs/wants.

                      To me a relatively compact, high specced tab is way better than any laptop out there. And I don't care what anyone has to say about it.

                      x86 is incredibly inefficient and power hungry and I don't like it anymore. ARM is portable, efficient and coming down in price. A tab can do everything a phone and a laptop but a laptop can not.

                        S I R E, 13 Mar 2025Running LLMs requires a LOT of RAM, Emulation requires a LO... moreEvery one of the tasks you mentioned would make way more sense to do on a laptop. And who is running LLMs on the go but can't afford the extra space that would come with way more power and more powerful NPUs. If there is a market for it it's a niche of a niche, and you night as well use a phone at that point.

                        And if you actually read my original comment I said I wanted companies to focus on better screen rather than socs.

                        Also Windows is fine people just like to complain. Ig you don't like it Linux exists

                            8 Gen 3 in vanilla Pad 2 is still a beast though.

Also, if it can't make calls via a SIM card, that's also a massive concern. Sure, not by holding it closer to the ear like phones, but using the loudspeaker in place of the ear speaker instead.
