OnePlus Pad in for review

As of today, you can buy the OnePlus Pad, the company's first-ever tablet. It ships in a box with a USB cable and nothing else. But some early pre-orderees will get a free 80W SuperVOOC charger as a compliment.

OnePlus designed the tablet with a 7:5 aspect display to feel more book-like. The 11.61-inch 144Hz IPS LCD is bright and crisp and is perfectly suited to browsing web pages or reading books or magazines.

The OnePlus Pad and some optional extras

The display is also very punchy in its default Vivid screen mode. Its whites are blueish, though, so we chose the Natural mode for a more... uhm, natural image.

The display and the rear finish

You can also buy the OnePlus Stylo pen, and the OnePlus Magnetic Keyboard for the Pad. We have both at HQ and can say that they elevate the tablet experience to a near-PC one. The keyboard is excellent. There's a very deep key travel and perfect spacing.

The touchpad is small but smooth. It clicks nicely and evenly. There's full gesture support that really makes the OnePlus Pad feel like a small laptop.

The keyboard snaps onto the tablet magnetically and has a built-in kickstand. It's a one-position stand, so you can't adjust it further as you would on a (granted much more expensive) iPad Magic Keyboard.

The OnePlus Magnetic Keyboard

The OnePlus Pad has a lot going for it. It ships with a 4nm Dimensity 9000 chip with up to 12GB of RAM, there's a 9,510mAh battery that promises up to a month of standby. Stay tuned for our full review!
