The OnePlus Pad 4 feels like a proper premium Android tablet, and OnePlus seems like it hasn’t cut corners while making this one. It looks clean and slim. The metal unibody design gives it a solid feel, although at around 672 grams, you do notice the weight after long use. However, the tablet is just 5.9mm thin and the bezels are slim enough without becoming annoying while holding it horizontally.
On the front, the Pad 4 shines bright with a large 13.2-inch 3.4K IPS LCD panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and 2400 x 3392 resolution with 315 ppi density. It is bright, sharp and very smooth while scrolling or gaming and the colours look good too. The only thing some users may complain about is the LCD panel instead of OLED/AMOLED, especially at this price range. But honestly, this is one of the better LCD displays on an Android tablet. Watching content feels very immersive and the output 8-speaker setup is surprisingly loud and clear.
Performance is flagship-grade. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset handles pretty much everything without stress. Be it gaming, multitasking, editing, split-screen apps, all run smoothly. OnePlus offers 8GB RAM with 256GB storage and a higher 12GB + 512GB variant. Storage is fast UFS 4.1, and OxygenOS 16 delivers a clean and responsive experience.
In the camera department, there is a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera. The rear camera works fine for document scans and occasional quick shots in good lighting, but image quality drops indoors. The front camera is decent for video calls and meetings, though still not exceptional. Tablets are rarely camera-first devices and the Pad 4 doesn’t try to overpower with its camera setup either.
Battery life is one of its stronger areas. The 13,380mAh battery comfortably lasts more than a day with mixed use. The standby battery drain is very low too. The 80W fast-charging helps a lot because charging a battery this large could otherwise take a long time.
Overall, the OnePlus Pad 4 comes across as a premium, well-built Android tablet which features great hardware, a crisp display and delivers performance that you would need from a tablet in the premium segment. Be it watching and scrolling through content or just regular use for work and otherwise. The Pad 4 comes with a promise of smooth performance and excellent battery life.
