OnePlus Pad 4: First impressions

Design and display

At first glance, the tablet feels unmistakably premium. The slim 5.94mm profile and metal unibody design looks easy to carry despite its large footprint. Weighing 672g, the weight distribution feels balanced, especially when used in landscape mode, clearly the orientation this device is designed for.

The 13.2-inch 3.4K LCD display is one of the biggest highlights. The panel looks sharp, colours appear well-calibrated, and the 144Hz adaptive refresh rate adds noticeable fluidity while scrolling. Brightness levels also seem adequate for indoor use, though outdoor visibility will need more testing.

Performance and productivity features

Performance is another area where the Pad 4 shows promise. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, the tablet feels fast and responsive in initial use. App switching is smooth, and the interface handles multiple windows without visible lag. This ties in well with the productivity-focused approach that OnePlus is pushing here.

Speaking of productivity, OxygenOS 16 brings PC-like features such as resizable windows, drag-and-drop functionality, and cross-device syncing. In early use, these features feel intuitive, especially for users already in the OnePlus ecosystem.

The tablet also supports the Stylo Pro stylus, which adds another layer of functionality for note-taking, sketching, and precise input. The addition of AI tools like AI Writer and AI Summary further hints at how the company is positioning this as more than just a media consumption device.

Audio and battery

In terms of audio performance, the eight-speaker setup delivers loud and immersive sound, making it suitable for watching content without needing external speakers.

Battery is another strong point on paper, with a 13,380mAh unit promising long usage. While it’s too early to comment on real-world endurance, the support for 80W fast charging is a welcome addition.

Overall, the OnePlus Pad 4 makes a strong first impression with its focus on display quality, performance, and productivity features. How it holds up in long-term usage will ultimately define its place in the premium tablet segment.
