Pad

The original 2023 OnePlus Pad has a sharp 144Hz screen and big battery, but two newer models replaced it.

Buying call

Buy the original OnePlus Pad only used and cheap, as a streaming and browsing tablet: OnePlus has since released the Pad 2 and Pad 3. Its 11.6-inch 144Hz screen is sharp, it charges quickly, and standby battery is excellent, though it managed 7 h 55 min in a full-brightness video test. Skip it if you want productivity, because the optional keyboard is finicky and Android tablet apps remain limited. The speakers are mediocre, and the Stylo pen needs its own charging.
