Amid its ongoing downward spiral and merger with Realme, OnePlus is still going through its launch schedule with the debut of the new OnePlus Pad 4. It looks great, but who will be able to buy it?
Posted to its online store in India, the OnePlus Pad 4 brings upgrades to the brand’s high-end Android tablet. That starts with the jump to Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Qualcomm’s fastest chip is paired with either 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, or 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Notable here is that OnePlus is ditching the model with 16GB of RAM, while also lowering the base model from 12GB to 8GB. I wonder why.
There are upgrades elsewhere. The battery has jumped from 12,140 mAh to 13,380 mAh, and the 13.2-inch display now has slightly smaller bezels and is slightly brighter, too. Support for OnePlus Stylo remains, and there’s a keyboard cover that connects via pins.
Despite the bigger battery, OnePlus Pad 4 is somehow thinner at 5.94mm compared to OnePlus Pad 3’s 5.97mm.
The OnePlus Pad 4 comes in “Dune Glow” and “Sage Mist.”
In India, this whole package is priced at ₹59,999, up from ₹49,999 on the OnePlus Pad 3. The OnePlus Pad 3 sells for $700 in the US, but there’s no word on whether or not the OnePlus Pad 4 will be heading to the States. As it stands right now, this new tablet is only listed in India, with no word on global launch plans otherwise.
Of course, OnePlus’ entire global strategy is in question right now. The brand has cut staff and officially said that it is “evaluating” its future in Europe. So, while the OnePlus Pad 4 looks pretty solid, we wouldn’t be hopeful it’ll launch all that widely.
