Conclusion
The OnePlus Pad 4 starts at INR 59,999 ($633) for the 8+256GB model, but we would once again implore buyers to go for the 12+512GB model at INR 64,999 ($685).
The Pad 4 is not a substantial upgrade over the Pad 3. It is faster, but the Pad 3 was no slouch, either, and that’s really the main difference between the two. The more notable difference would likely come from the new accessories, as the OnePlus Pad 4 gets a nice new keyboard and stylus that are exclusive to it.
But being similar to its predecessor also means carrying forward its shortcomings. We would have liked to see an OLED display at this point; the missing fingerprint sensor and cellular option are frustrating, and the software lacks polish, most notably seen in the complete lack of palm rejection around the bezels.
Still, this is overall a very capable tablet with an incredibly slim profile, a large high-resolution display, powerful speakers, excellent performance, clean and functional software with exceptional multitasking capabilities, and good battery life. If you’re looking for a productivity-focused tablet, then the OnePlus Pad 4 is a very good option. But if you don’t mind not having the latest and greatest, then the older and now cheaper Pad 3 is also worth considering.
