OnePlus launched its original Pad back in May last year. Now the company has added a “Pro” model of the tablet to its portfolio. In this article, we will discuss the newly launched OnePlus Pad Pro, its specifications, expected price in Nepal, and so on.
OnePlus Pad Pro Overview
Design and Display
In terms of design, the latest rendition looks quite similar to its base model. The camera cutouts and all remains unchanged. However, the finishing has changed from a reflective to a more standard flat one, and colour options have also been updated. You can choose the OnePlus Pad Pro in Khaki Green and Space Grey colours.
While the design blueprint appears to be unchanged, the tablet has grown in both its size and screen size. The Pro model of the OnePlus Pad comes with a larger 12.1-inch 3K display. While the panel of choice and refresh rate remain the same, other aspects of the screen have received an upgrade. Like, the pixel density and the maximum touch sampling rate have gone up to 303 PPI and 540Hz respectively. Likewise, the typical brightness and colour accuracy of the display have also improved this time around.
Performance
For performance, the OnePlus Pad Pro packs the latest Qualcomm flagship processor i.e. Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It is a significant upgrade over the MediaTek Dimensity 9000, which we saw on the base variant last year. When comparing the two chips, the Qualcomm silicon has a slightly worse GPU, however, on other aspects, it completely blows the MediaTek offering out of the water. For instance, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 shows a 95% better score on AnTuTu 10 than the Dimensity 9000.
Other than that, the tablet is available in four different configurations. Those being: 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, and 16GB + 512GB. The memory on this thing is an LPDDR5 while the storage is a UFS 3.1 with no option of external expansion. Lastly, the OnePlus Pad Pro boots on ColorOS 14.1 based on Android 14.

Camera and the rest
The OnePlus Pad Pro comes with two cameras altogether. The rear camera includes a single 13MP shooter with 4K 30fps video recording capability coupled with EIS support. Meanwhile, on the front, you get an 8MP unit that doubles down as a face scanner as well.
Inside is a large 9,510 mAh battery powering the tablet, which also supports 67W SUPERVOOC charging. For connectivity, you are getting the latest WiFi 7 and Bluetooth v5.4 handling the wireless side of things, alongside a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port for wired duties. The OnePlus Pad Pro misses out on cellular and navigation support but with comes a quad-speaker setup, OnePlus Smart Stylus Pro support, and a handful of ecosystem features.
