Hey Chaps! Do you own a tablet??
-CORRECTION: At 6:10, the Galaxy Tab S8 comes with S-Pen, so take £49/$59 off the total price
- UPDATE: Some regions (including US and India) have charger bundled in the box
sup, no
No 😥
Yup the Galaxy tab S5e
Yup, the iPad mini 4 till now
never needed one
mobile phones have been quite good.
I love this, because we need more competition between devices. With Google focusing on more tablet apps i think this is a start of a big wave of tablet like devices coming out soon
Exactly
This isnt competition; this thing was developed on a photocopier, 100% ripoffware.
@@QAYWSXEDCCXYDSAEWQwho cares??.I would rather go with an device with more specs than an OVERPRICED ipads under $500
They are focusing on optimizing apps because of the release of the 2-1 Chromebook Plus line up. Right now in Jan, 2024 most apps have been streamlined to work on tablets up to 13 inches!
This is the first tablet from OnePlus and already so popular. Looks pretty cool with the camera section and its Dimensity chip is a highlight too.
Dimensity 9000 is better than the underclocked 2.8GH A14 in ipad 10 gen.
You say that it is not powerful, but the dimensity 9000 is the equivalent of a 8 gen 1...
Yeah I don't know what was he talking about there. It has the dimensity 9000 which is more or less the equivalent of the 8+ G1 which I'm pretty sure it's not "slow". He probably forgot to turn on performance mode or something
@Eduard Yes deffo. Its a top notch chip..
Isn't it equivalent to gen 2?? Or it's equivalent to the best chip of gen1?
Mediatek chips can easily compete with Qualcomm in terms of cpu power and even efficiency, but Qualcomm's custom adreno gpus are a lot better than even apple's
@@harshrajjadeja7087 no, not gen 2. gen 2 would be equivalent to 9200+ or the upcoming 9300
Great video, thank you. Is it mandatory to buy the keyboard? I have an iPad with separate keyboard but never use it… thoughts?
They bundle 100W chargers with the PAD in India and the pricing of 12/256 GB variant is Rs-39,999 about $489.
Yes they do bundle a 100W charger in India, although it supports only 67W of charging.
@@siddhantchuroria791 only😂😂😂
Wow nice. Traveling to Toronto? 😂
@@spiropent82 I said 'Only' in terms of the charger they provide.😂😂
That would be a great price-performance ratio. Over here in Europe it is to expensive given the compromises, imho.
Lovely piece of kit, and beautifully built for the cash outlay.
I wonder if, when combined with the magnetic keyboard it's as good as a laptop at the same price bracket?
Great review, very informative.
I've been watching other tech RUclipsrs like MKBHD, Gadgetmatch, Joshua Vergara, Unbox Therapy, etc for years, but I knew about you, though, Tom. Great review, but I'm not sure if I would get one of these as an upgrade for my old iPad Air 2.
Subscribed.
quality vid. Subbed.
Thanks!
As an Android person, this is the tablet for me!
so many cheaper tablets with better specs like Lenovo on the market so research online
you should get the xiaomi pad 5 from last year is ten times better than oneplus crap tab
"Paid" review
Wait and get the pixel tab
@@Unknowner291 ik right but to each their own
Hi Tom. May I ask please which book reader app was used here on the Oneplus Pad? Thank you.
Charger comes bundled in the box in India. It supports 67W. And best part is it's about £80 cheaper
It's lovely how the end scene is played backwards to make the perfect alignment of the products! You can notice when he holds the tablet that jumps a little ;)
This would be ideal as a media tablet that can do a bit more in a pinch. Get one of these and a proper laptop to do work.
Dimensity 9000 is last year flagship processor has similar performance and scores as snapdragon 8 gen 1 and a14 bionic...it has good performance not the best but really good at that price...and lcds are not bad....only thing that is not good is app support on android
Great review, I like the fact you put up comparison tables. Just 1 small niggle, for the iPad Air there is a smart keyboard folio which is £199 and is actually more comparable to the keyboard that comes with the OnePlus Pad (but offers 2 screen positions).
If we doing niggles, that’s for the iPad 10. The Air uses the Magic Keyboard ;)
@@sloppynyuszi There is also an 11 inch Smart Keyboard Folio for the iPad Air and Pro.
Great insight! For me with the Dimensity 9000 chipset, I'm expecting smooth performance. Excited to see how it performs in real-world usage!
It works better than underclocked A14 in ipad 10 gen. It gives you a stable Gaming performance and good video rendering experience.
Hello. I'm one plus user. My phone is one plus 7. I'm thinking about buying ipad air 5 or one plus pad. I'm currently living in Thailand so I can get ipad air 5 with student discount and plus gen 2 pen as a gift.
For one plus pad, I'm highly interested in it as my phone is super duper durable and I like that fact.
My laptop is not that good and lags. I wanna get a tablet or ipad which I can substitute ma laptop in daily life. I'm a student so my most need would be noting things down. Having a keyboard is nice but it's not that necessary. Can you recommend which one should I get? For ipad air, it would be 64 gb or 256 but 256 would be a burden for my budget range. Thank you ❤
I'm using this right now and hands down best android device I've ever tried 🙌
Great review. seemed genuine and fair in the assessment. thanks for pointing out the shortcomings and being forthright about gaming performance.
Great video Tom and first proper review I've seen it's a shame showing the prices shows how much we ripped off in the UK compared to prices in the US
Our price includes all charges looks VAT
Yeah US prices are always without taxes
Yeah with the exchange rate pounds should be fewer not more.
@@KaseyMOrr think currently it's 399 pounds on offer I think
It’s def a beautiful tablet. 11.9 is a great size, I think between 11-12 is the perfect size.
All are good 👍
But can you tell how can I get the stylus pen for it?
It's like a bird without wings
They should have added a micro sd slot and micro SIM card slot and then it would make it interesting for that price
I this looks so nice if I didn’t have an iPad I would consider this seriously especially if it was priced a little lowr
Go to battery settings and turn on high performance mode and run geekbench again .im bored with most youtubers not knowing that and assuming its a slower chip than it actually is.this setting is on all oneplus/vivo/oppo/realme phones and tablets
does it support single cable mode docking, i.e. thunderbolt usb-c to desktop display output, usb hub and power delivery?
can it be connected to hdmi or to share to TV screen for presentation ?
You planning on reviewing the Xiaomi pad 6/6 pro? Maybe a comparison between the OnePlus pad and that would be good?
I love my OnePlus Tablet - picked it up cheap on sale and free extras too offered - matches by OnePlus 12 phone also - excellent device
It's a bit different for gaming for this tablet review per review. Tom said that gaming was decent on the pad, while TrakinTech said that this might be the best gaming tablet, so it is quite surreal. Is it in the middle or is one insight a bit too elastic?
The Dimensity 9000 is supposed to breathe down Snapdragon 8 Gen 1's neck in performance while being a lot more power-efficient. I wonder if Tom was comparing it to gaming performance on the likes of iPads (he did bring up iPad a lot in this review after all), which if he did, means the performance here will be more than satisfactory for most people.
can i have a link for the keypad cover that you are using with this tab
They are running a crazy deal right now-$399 (US) and they are including the Magic Keyboard (normally an additional $150). I have an original IPad Pro which was aging a bit and decided to try this. I am not a gamer, mainly internet, Netflix/Amazon Prime Video and RUclips, emails, messaging and a few apps.
Thank you for commenting on microSD support. That was literally the deal breaker for me. Hoping version 2 has got it!
It's a giant touchscreen, no excuse for leaving headphone jack out as well.
USB flash drive is your answer (plus USB-C to USB-A adapter if needed).
They won't, it's a Oneplus.
sadly only usb 2.0 sono video out...
@@avieshekbought a type C hub under $30 with
1. 3.5mm jack
2. One USB 3.1 and Two USB 2.0
3. One 10GB Data transfer Type C port
4. One 100W Type C port
5. 4K30FPS/HDR 1080p one HDMI port.
6. Two Macro/micro SD Card slots.
9 in 1 Type C HUB, If you really want you can just pay an additional $30 and buy it. There is no limitation.
Got this on pre order with a free keyboard. Super excited for this as i bought a cheap Lenovo tab for media use and its just ao laggy its unusable.
Hopefully the oneplus will be good half way house between a cheap tab and the expensive iPads.
Can you recommend this one for taking notes? I want to have a tablet for the review..
I went Lenovo as well, and I want this thing. Lenovo gave me one update on my Tab P11 Plus, and cut off support. I don't even get security patches. They also didn't have an English version of their folio keyboard available in Canada. When I asked them to help me source an English model, they told me they only had a SKU for the French model. It's a shame because the tablet itself has some decent hardware. The display is nice, the speakers are great, and they also have the folio keyboard concept, but Lenovo is an awful company with zero support.
@@mattmurray07 yup I agree mine is less than 6 months old and useless, delays and lag when just trying basic functions.
Nice to see the Tab S8 getting the love and being included in the comparison!
As far as price goes, when i bought one of these a week ago on the oneplus store, the keyboard was a free addon, and the stylus was 50% off if you bought it at the same time. So $550 for the Tablet, the magnetic keyboard, and the stylus. Pretty good deal!
Can I use for procreate or affinity designer?
GREAT REVIEW BRO
No SD card, but you can always connect a flash drive to it via USB OTG, so theres that
Is there any way you can do a video about 2 or 3 of Best tablets in different price ranges. $200 and below, 200-500, $500 and up or if you can figure out better pricing brackets
Can a wirles keyboard with pad replace the original One Plus one and have the same functions? Because I find it a bit uncomfortable.... or is it better to buy the original one? I don't use it very much
How to setup the smart hotspot with the OnePlus device
Interesting video as always.....I was wondering why there isn't an explanatory video about his camera.....is it that bad?😅😂
I was hoping someone makes a decent 8-9 inch android tablet like the iPad Mini 6, there is just no good option for relatively small sized tablets on android.
Same here
Just an IPad mini 6 with Android and Oled display
All of these tablets above 10 inch and LCD 😢
Lenovo Legion y700. Only released in China though, so you'd need to import it. The rom is almost stock Android though, SD870 CPU, 8.8 inch 2k, 120Hz screen.
@@michaeldendulk2230 Yep
The only alternative right now. Cheaper than iPad. LCD screen sadly but reviews say it’s great
Stylus compatible with OP Tablet uses which standard? USI 2.0? Third party stylus options required.
Pls do a thorough review of the honor magic 5 pro
No biometrics for login - finger/iris/face?
Lenovo could find their tablets looking attractive with a few small tweaks especially the P11 Pro. Just need the software to improve now!
Can it uses an external SSD through the USB C connection?
I think you should rather compare it with Xiaomi Mi Pad 5, Lenovo Tab P11 gen2 or Samsung S7 lite.
Great Review. Clear and crisp. I am an apple person and kind of locked in their aura of products. I have recently got an iPad 12.9 but the battery sucks.
I also have one plus phones literally 5 years old but they work still work like a breeze. One plus is quality and this is their first attempt to enter in this market.
And by the looks of it, this guy has good battery life.
Now I hope one plus gives a fierce fight to apple in their tablet space with new product launches.
Not everyday you see someone describe OnePlus as "quality". Glad it's working for you but OnePlus are infamous for their horrendous quality control and post sale support.
12.9-inch iPad Pro m1 battery life is absolutely awful.
My brand new m2 ipad pro is amazing except the battery life 😭
Amyone know how the pen functions? Is it smooth? Good feedback whem writing or drawing? I'm consideing for school
I love this content. Thanks😁
Does it come with a good handwritten notes / annotation app? I know iPad has goodnotes and notability that you can buy, and samsung tablets have samsung notes which is pretty good to annotate pdfs, but what about this tablet?
Can I make notes on PowerPoint presentations with the stylus on this ?
From what I've seen here today this thing looks amazing and much better than the others you compared!! 😎
Can you set-up 2 separate user profiles on that tablet?
I have the xiaomi pad 5, and I actually prefer it to the regular iPad. Budget, but great display and does the basic things really well!
For the same price you could get an OLED Lenovo.
@@M13 It has horrible software support to even brick devices when updated.
@@frankreynolds9930 not been my experience, but it does seem Lenovo/Motorola is finally committing to some improvement in their update policies. Had my P11 pro 3 months and already received 3 updates for it, last one being on the 29th of March with Android's March security patch. My cheap Motorola phone has been updated to this month's Android security patch...
Just got my Xiaomi pad 5 and have been seriously impressed for the price (£320). I have a Pixel 7 and there are some pretty big software differences, but if you want to just do some light browsing and general media consumption it's a fantastic little device!
@@JonLines Yeah, i wouldn't want the OS for my phone, it's a bit to simple for my taste. But I mostly use my tablet for media consumption and web browsing. And for that I think the 5 is excellent. Great screen, never loses connection to Bluetooth or wifi, great battery and very snappy!
It doesn't share the eco-system benefits that Apple and Samsung does with their device's. But I'm not sure how much i really need that in this case.
Quick question, dose the tablet support wireless (QI) charging ?
Tom
I’m confused by you saying the processor isn’t great and lets it down. The MediaTek Dimensity 9000 is their fastest flagship processor I thought?!
I have the Oppo Reno 8 Pro with the Dimensity 8100 processor and that absolutely flies and is as fast as the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, so I was expecting thr Dimensity 9000 version to be even more impressive.
Dimensity 8100 is not faster than even SD 8 Gen 1 though. On AnTuTu, SD8 Gen1 scores ~18% higher than the 8100, and SD8+ Gen1 scores ~36% higher than the 8100.
Dimensity 9000 scores higher than the 8 Gen1 though, but not by much (4-10%). And 8+ Gen1 still scores 6-11% higher than the 9000. I agree that the 9000 should still be no slouch, but you were possibly expecting it to be more impressive than it really is.
Dimensity 9000 is a great chip, but as you said it's a good competitor of the SD8G1 which is the last year chip, they are already have the SD8G2, and that is way better in lot if area, especially in graphics and in power consumption, both are important in tablets (or can make the tablet to even better for daily usage)
Dimensity 9000 is faster than sd 8+ gen 1
@@nakhashfaiz3623 only the CPU side is stronger, the GPU side is weaker, but newer SD8G2 stronger on CPU and GPU side too. (they are already have Dimensity 9200 too..)
@@TamasKiss-yk4st bruh it doesn't matter. Tablets with an sd 8 gen 2 would cost more than twice this one. Why are we even having this conversation? If oneplus wanted to make a tablet with sd8gen2 they wouldve. The point of this tablet is to be the best in its price range, which it is. And don't forget that the much more expensive s8 tablets use 8gen1s which are worse than the dimensity 9000 ( sustain loads, heating etc even though it has slightly higher peak gpu performance)
Which one will be better Samsung s8 or this OnePlus pad ... please suggest
IPad Pro user here. I think this looks great. The one thing that kinda annoys me about the keyboard is the product image makes it look like it’s just a copy of the Magic Keyboard.
Looks high tech n value for money.....i wonder whether to get a laptop for the full price of a oneplus pad pen n keyboard......
Great review. I'll personally buy the Galaxy Tab S8 or Tab S8 plus on sale which is happening right now.
Would love to see a pro version
Seems good with an attractive price tag. I want to wait to see what Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 looks like this year and the upcoming Google Pixel Tablet which should be coming soon 🤔
You gonna regret these value cheap shit.
Unfortunately those will cost double this unit
pixel tab will be one up in everything. Price however will be double too.
Pixel tablet price will be somewhere near 600€ what the rumors tell.
With everything that has leaked in the last week, the Pixel tab isn't looking that great. Midrange hardware for a premium-ish price...
Only thing it has going for it is it's dock/smart hub functionality.
I am using a OnePlus 9 for 3 years and it's amazing. It's Hasselblad camera simply DESTROY any iphone pro version.
The oxygen OS is the fastest mobile OS in the world!
Thank you for this, it's a good review from a little above average basic user point of view. If you don't know why the cable is red clearly you don't know OnePlus the brand at all. Do a little more digging into the brand and you will find out.
Its a great piece of hardware and software but most people don't have any use of tablets
They mostly use it for multimedia.
3:52 Yes, 12/256 will be available in India. 💯
Im still rocking Galaxy TAB s6. Serves me online for watching content so with Amoled screen and these awesome AKG speakers IT is unmatched in its price. Or it was cause its quite old now. But i still 'd rather have my s6 than something with LCD screen.
Same here with an S6. The keyboard, though, really has scratched up my tablet's screen!
@@RickMaloch yes! Totally regret not putting screen protector as I thought this keyboard case would be enough. It was not. I do have some major scratches.
Got mine on pre order, with the free keyboard, so looking forward to see how it is, for £449 its a bargin, spec wise, i use a Samsung tab for work, all be it a A model but it is slow and brutal to use, so hoping this is better, and i will use this as my main work pad.
How’s is it
I used to have a Samsung flagship phone, but they are just slow and laggy, i will never go back to one ui it just isnt as smooth as other os while oxygen os is the fastest android os
Finally got mine on Friday, first impressions, nice and smooth, keyboard, is just like my ipad pro one, but it is very smart looking, and light
where did you buy it?
The Samsung Tab S7 FE is the competitor to this more than the Tab S8.
I'd take a Samsung tablet over this because of how good Samsung Dex. It even makes the Tab S6 lite a great tablet and it can go for as low as $249 with a stylus included.
144HZ display/better pixel density compared to S8
More powerful Dimensity 9000 SOC compared to Galaxy S8
67W Fast charging
OnePlus stylo, A worthy competitor of Apple Pencil
Better ram/storage Under $500.
Definitely OnePlus pad is more value for money than S8/S7 tablets.
⭐ I would have went for S8 only if it has an Amoled display but it has an LCD and 120HZ
how is the stylus pen, because nothing comes close to apple pencil, i know because i take handwritten notes for it.
I wish they had an OLED option. Would have happily paid $50-100 more for a 10 bit OLED panel.
OLED and 256gb and I'd be happy
LCD is better. Better battery life and no burn in. High quality LCDs are very similar in quality to oled
@@crazyforiegner2 I see your point but I have never experienced any burn in on any OLED with normal use. I agree a high quality LCD shouldn't have issues, I have a hunch the OP Pad is not high quality though based on other reviews I am seeing, lots of notes of blurry scrolling.
@@Betancourtdm well I think the solution is to use a higher quality LCD displays. The tab S7 fe gets 17hr web browsing battery life whereas the tab S7+ gets 7hr with the same size screens and battery size. The battery trade off is too big
@@crazyforiegner2 Maybe. I am not sure the display is the main factor for battery drain there, the Snapdragon 750g draws 5w of power vs 10w on the 865. Also OLED is somewhat user specific in that battery drain is highly dependent on dark mode vs light mode. Obviously LCD will perform similarly in both cases due to the always on backlight.
After seeing how smooth 144hz is on this tablet i think every new phone that comes out should have 144hz. Silky!
6:14
This comparison doesn't make sense, for example the Tab S8 gives the pen with the tablet for free. That changes it not by a lot, but puts the Tab S8 much closer to the 10th Gen
That's a fair point. my mistake
I just wish Oneplus have Physical store here in Philippines
does it support face and fingerprint unlocking?
Your biggest concern should be how long software/security updates are supported, and how soon will you get them. You didn't mention either
3rd party developers should pick up the slack but I wish oneplus supported thier own devices more after release
where can i get one and how much in USD?
You disqualify for the name thetechchap when you don't even know the red cable is part of OnePlus's branding. Their community is called The Red Cable Club. So now you're just TheChap 😂👍
will they release a version with a better CPU and a higher storage space soon, or will we have to wait till next year or so?
Do you think he’s a Oneplus employee?
Who knows. They may end up bringing a pro version out if this sells well fingers.crossed.
@@katinasoutherland7693 wouldn't expect to see 8 gen 2 or Dimensity 9200 tablets this year. For some reason tablets always lag a year behind phones for CPU's, unless you go with top range Samsung tablets, which will probably release their S9 range with 8 gen 2 chips in the Fall. For most tablets the latest and greatest isn't really interesting anyway, as they're mostly used for media consumption.
I would of ordered one immediately except there is no charger and no 3.5mm headphone jack. I hate having to charge up ear buds. Maybe next years model will be better and give us a charger and headphone jack.
Good points
Would have*
I was either going to get a second hand 12.9 iPad (for approx £450) or a new Honor 8 Pad as I am a magazine addict and want it for Readly (most mags are around A4 size). I don't care less about power or refresh rate. This screen ratio looks close to 12.9 iPad. What would you guys go for if me ?
Definitely not an honor 8 pad. If you decide to stick with android I would get this Oneplus pad or the Xiaomi pad.
I hope you got the iPad lol
The Mediatek Dimensity 9000 chipset has received a lot of attention, but I'm not sure if it lives up to the hype.
i seriously enjoy this tablet price and overall approached towards none game playing but mostly work purpose. But the ultimate deal breaker is the memory. Been only 128GB with no expandable memory slot? that is just unacceptable for me, i need to keep so much video and documents for my presentation and so on and this tablet just kind of lack that final key factor. If they made a 512 memory build it with the 9k+ battery for this price point I would have purchase this.
My biggest issue with pixel tablet as well is the battery
Not sure why they'd put it in international markets without a Snapdragon chip. Hopefully the next generation OnePlus Pad has better storage and RAM options, an OLED display and a proper Snapdragon chip. I understand all these features will increase the price by quite a bit but it's necessary if this is to be a proper Android table cause as of now, this tab is a mixed bag even though it is relatively cheap
Under $449 OnePlus pad is definitely the best tablet in specs.
They should have launched a OnePlus pad pro with the flagship Snapdragon 8Gen2 with Amoled display.
You should know, an 11 inch amoled display costs around $250. If they have given an OLED/Amoled display, then the price would have been around $600 and people would have gone for ipads.
Needs to have a bigger price gap below the iPad 10 imo. The screen is nicer sure, but that's not enough.
great review :)
I want a powerful 7 inch tablet. I really miss the ones Samsung used to make before they started making everything for giants.
Honestly that's what I really want
The (4nm)processor is good by the way..its just the software that they need to upgrade to match with its performances
Hey guys, I'm curious about the performance of the OnePlus Pad with the Mediatek Dimensity 9000 processor. Has anyone tried it yet?
Is this tab good for digital design?
Damn all of these reviews came flooding in
Dont get it. How is that you call mediatek 9000 a weak chipset ? I've seen comparison where it keeps equal with snap 8 gen 1. It should perfom awesome.
The US version comes with a charger. Why not the UK version?
I'm waiting for realme's version of this since that will be cheaper and if not it will definitely come with amoled display if they sell for 449€
III looove thiiiis channeeeel!
