OnePlus unveils the OnePlus Pad 2: flagship processor, big battery, slim design

OnePlus held a reveal event this summer in Milan, Italy, and unveiled the OnePlus Pad 2. It’s the company’s latest tablet, sporting a thin 6.49mm metal unibody design, weighing just 584g, and coming in a “Nimbus Gray” colorway.

The powerful tablet comes with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 platform and 12GB of RAM. Storage sits comfortably at 256GB. As for the display, the Pad 2 sports a 12.1-inch 3K LCD, which can dynamically switch between 30, 48, 60, 90, 120, and 144Hz refresh rates, with a maximum brightness of 900 nits (so not for sunny days outdoors).

Battery-wise, the Pad 2 packs a generous 9,510mAh battery that supports up to 67W charging with the included SuperVOOC Flash Charge power adapter. OnePlus claims the battery can last up to 43 days of standby time (which, if true, is quite the feat!), and charging the Pad 2 from 0 to 100% takes an hour and 20 minutes with the supported charger. The OnePlus Pad 2 also comes with a couple of cool accessories to enhance the tablet experience: the Stylo 2 and a Smart Keyboard. The OnePlus Stylo 2 features pressure sensitivity for a realistic writing experience, and the Smart Keyboard has adjustable typing angles. Pretty basic, I might add. As expected, the Stylo and keyboard are purchased separately.

The OnePlus Pad 2, along with the OnePlus Stylo 2, OnePlus Smart Keyboard, and OnePlus Pad 2 Case, will hit stores on August 1, 2024. Pre-orders are now open in Europe, North America, and India. The price of this beautiful piece of technology is $549.99.
