After years of making impressive Android phones, OnePlus has finally evolved into tablets with the OnePlus Pad – and we were able to get a glimpse of the new device at MWC 2023.
For our first impressions, head over to our hands-on OnePlus Pad review, but we’ve also decided to keep this product hub live in case you want to read about the OnePlus Pad in a more general sense.
So below, you’ll find everything we know about the OnePlus Pad so far, including information about its design, performance specs, and cameras.
To the point
- What is this? The first tablet from OnePlus
- when is it coming out? Announced on February 7
- How much does it cost? Still unconfirmed
OnePlus Pad release date and price
The OnePlus Pad was unveiled on February 7 alongside the global launch of the OnePlus 11 (you can read our thoughts on the phone’s retro look in our full OnePlus 11 review), where we also saw the OnePlus Buds Pro 2.
The device was then properly unveiled to journalists (including us) at MWC 2023, but OnePlus still didn’t share release dates or pricing information at the event.
What we do know, however, is that pre-orders for the OnePlus Pad start in April for customers in the US, UK, and Australia. The latter is quite surprising considering OnePlus doesn’t currently have a presence in Australia.
OnePlus Pad design and display
We didn’t have to wait for the full OnePlus Pad reveal to see it, as the company revealed the first images of the tablet in an exclusive TechRadar.
The OnePlus Pad is available in Halo Green and has an aluminum alloy body and curved frame. You can also see that there is a single-lens camera on the back and another on the front, housed in a frame above the display.
It weighs 550g, is 6.5mm thick, and OnePlus says the tablet is designed to be lightweight and easy to hold for extended periods of time (which we found when using the device hands-on).
The tablet has 6.54mm narrow bezels and an 88% screen-to-body ratio, and that display is an 11.61-inch screen with a 7:5 aspect ratio and a very high refresh rate of 144Hz. It has a resolution of 2800 x 2000 pixels which is impressively sharp and offers 296 pixels per inch and 500 nits of brightness.
OnePlus notes that the size and shape make it ideal for e-books, while the refresh rate can benefit gaming.
OnePlus Pad camera and battery

The OnePlus Pad includes two cameras: a 13MP main sensor on the back and an 8MP selfie camera on the front. Interestingly, the tablet’s rear sensor is placed in the center of the frame, which OnePlus says should make photos look more natural.
The OnePlus Pad has a 9,510mAh battery with a 67W charge that can fully charge it in 80 minutes.
OnePlus says you’ll get over 12.4 hours of video viewing and a month of standby time from the device, which is longer than some top-end tablets like the iPad Pro 12.9 (2022).
OnePlus Pad specs and features
The OnePlus Pad is powered by the high-end MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset clocked at up to 3.05GHz. That doesn’t quite match up with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 found in the OnePlus 11, but it shouldn’t be too far off.
It is joined by up to 12 GB of RAM, and OnePlus boasts that the tablet is able to keep up to 24 applications open at the same time.
Other OnePlus Pad features include quad speakers with Dolby Atmos sound, and the tablet is compatible with both the OnePlus Stylo and OnePlus Magnetic Keyboard, so it should be good for creativity and productivity.
