OnePlus Pad 4 Review: Power, Design, and Software

The OnePlus Pad line has really started to pull in the last few years. It’s managed to build something that feels robust, powerful, enough to cut through the noise when you look at the bigger players.
It polishes up on what the Pad 3 was missing, manages to pack in some newer hardware, even if there are some compromises made. And it brings new accessories that actually give you better output. But the prices? They’re climbing. So does the product move in that same direction? We’re trying to figure that out.
The whole thing starts with the premium upgrade.
The Pad 3 already felt high-end. OnePlus decided that the Pad 4 needed to pack more, and honestly, you can’t argue with that feeling. You immediately notice the difference in the build. It’s just lighter, down to 672 grams compared to the 675 grams of the previous model.
The screen size stays the same, but you see the difference instantly on the back, with the camera island housing the sensors differently. It still feels premium, and the metal unibody design holds up surprisingly well for its size and dimensions. It’s easy to carry around. There’s also that pogo pin thing on the back, which means you can use the latest OnePlus accessories without needing separate charging. A small but useful change.
Then there’s the display.
Moving on to the raw power.
The new hardware is strong. It’s AI-ready, which is a big deal right now. It handles the regular grunt easily. OnePlus claims this thing is ready for PC-level productivity. We’ll have to wait and see when we actually test that claim with the keyboard unit.
Entertainment-ready, too.
OnePlus is pushing some serious heat into the Pad 4. It runs smoothly. But you have to mention the speakers. We tested it, and it was quite good. That screen and the sound, they definitely deliver on the entertainment front.
The software side is where things get fuzzy.
OnePlus is trying hard to make the Pad series feel like a strong PC alternative, and OxygenOS is supposed to be the core of that mission. It has improved drag-and-drop functions, though maybe only for a limited use case.
The battery situation is another factor.
The speed is still there. The tablet can easily last a full day, maybe a little more, unless you’re constantly gaming—which is hard to tell with the size.
But having a bigger battery means the charging time stretches out. It takes well over an hour. Maybe if they’d pushed to 100W charging, that would have sweetened the deal a bit.
So, the bottom line is this: the OnePlus Pad 4 has the power and the design upgrade. But ultimately, the tablet is still banking heavily on the software to make the real difference. You can definitely use it for work tasks, but there are limitations. And that’s where the new prices for the Pad 4 become a real headache for people just looking for the best option out there.
