OnePlus officially launched the Pad 4 at Índia this Monday, consolidating its commitment to high-performance tablets. The device arrives with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, the largest battery ever integrated into a branded tablet and a 13.2-inch LCD screen with 3.4K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. It’s also the thinnest Pad yet, measuring just 5.94mm thick.

The tablet will be sold from May 5th through the official OnePlus website. The version with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage costs 59,999 Indian rupees (about 710 dollars), while the 12 GB + 512 GB configuration costs 64,999 rupees. OnePlus is offering a discount of Rs 5,000 for purchases in installments using HDFC Bank card, bringing the prices down to Rs 54,999 and Rs 59,999 respectively.

Especificações high standard techniques

The Pad 4 builds on a chipset that has already proven its value in flagship smartphones. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, with Qualcomm Oryon CPU at 4,608 GHz and Adreno 840 GPU at 1,200 MHz, achieves an AnTuTu score of over 4.1 million, 42% higher than the previous model. Essa power comes with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5X memory and up to 512 GB of UFS 4.1 storage, ensuring fluidity in heavy multitasking.

Thermal management is a concern in such a thin chassis. OnePlus has implemented the Cryo-velocity system, a 45,260 mm² vapor chamber, 17% larger than the previous generation, capable of maintaining the surface temperature at 38.6 °C or lower during continuous gaming in eSports mode.

Tela and drums as main highlights

The screen is one of the main attractions of the new tablet. The 13.2-inch LCD panel offers 3.4K resolution (3,392 x 2,400 pixels), 315 ppi and a touch sampling rate of up to 540Hz. Peak brightness reaches 1,000 nits with HBM technology, while the 144Hz adaptive refresh rate automatically adjusts to save battery as needed. The 7:5 aspect ratio was deliberately chosen to prioritize productivity and document consumption over the widescreen orientation common on Android tablets.

The 13,380 mAh battery is a record for OnePlus tablets. The company promises up to 54 hours in standby mode, 20 hours of continuous video playback and 7 hours of gameplay on a single charge. The 80W SUPERVOOC charger comes with the product in the box and significantly reduces recharging time.

Software and ecosystem

The Pad 4 runs OxygenOS 16.0 with support for up to five simultaneous floating windows in the 12 GB variant, the 8 GB version is limited to two windows. Isso enables robust workflow for intensive multitaskers. The artificial intelligence suite includes features such as AI Writer, AI Summary, AI Translate, AI Painter, AI Clear Call, and an enhanced recorder with real-time annotation and handwriting-to-text conversion.

Interoperability between devices is robust. Pad 4 offers screen mirroring with OnePlus cases, clipboard sharing with OnePlus smartphones and Quick Share for fast file transfer with Android, iOS, Windows and Mac devices. The O+ Connect complements this experience.

Acessórios and prices

Accessories are sold separately, but with a promotional incentive for a limited time. The OnePlus Stylo Pro, valued at Rs 5,499, comes free with the purchase of the Pad 4 during the launch period. The pen has 16,000 levels of pressure sensitivity, two interchangeable tips and magnetic attachment to the tablet chassis. The Smart Keyboard for Pad 4 has 16.05mm keys and a generous touchpad, but its price was not disclosed at the time of the announcement.

Posicionamento on the market

The OnePlus Pad 4 represents a price increase over the Pad 3, which debuted at Rs 47,999 last year. The brand’s strategy focuses on robust processing, extended autonomy and screen quality as differentiators for professionals and content creators looking for alternatives to the iPad. At just 5.94 mm thick and 672 grams, the tablet is thinner than the stylus that accompanies it — a design highlight that reinforces the portability proposal.

The configurations available in the Indian launch are restricted to Wi-Fi connectivity. A possible version with cellular connectivity may arrive at a later date, although OnePlus has not confirmed plans in this regard. The device arrives in two colors: Dune Glow and Sage Mist.
