Performance Comparison
OnePlus claims that the Pad 4 is the "world's fastest tablet," a bold statement considering the formidable performance of the iPad Pro (2025) powered by the Apple M5 chip. Nonetheless, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset does perform exceptionally well in various benchmarks, leading us to reasonably conclude that this tablet is indeed the fastest Android tablet currently available.
When compared to the 14.6-inch Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, the OnePlus Pad 4 is compact and lightweight while housing a larger battery, promising impressive longevity with up to 20 hours of video playback. Its rapid 80W charging speed is another highlight, allowing for minimal downtime.
Pricing and Availability
The OnePlus Pad 4 is available in India starting at ₹60,000 ($630) for the entry-level model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and goes up to ₹64,999 ($683) for the 512GB variant with 12GB of RAM. This pricing positions it just above the OnePlus Pad 3, presenting a balance of enhanced performance and competitive pricing.
As for its release in the US market, it remains unconfirmed, but we anticipate a launch that could see the device priced around $799.99 for the base model, making it an attractive alternative to both the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and 13-inch iPad Pro while still appealing to OnePlus's budget-conscious consumer base.
Conclusion
With its combination of analytical specifications, superior battery life, and fast charging capabilities, the OnePlus Pad 4 has positioned itself as a strong competitor in the tablet market. While it faces stiff competition from established brands, its unique features and performance metrics are sure to attract attention from tech enthusiasts and casual users alike.
