The OnePlus Pad has been the subject of numerous rumors and conjecture, but it is now official. Pre-orders for the OnePlus tablet will open in India in April, as was announced at the company’s Cloud 11 event in New Delhi. Although the pricing hasn’t been disclosed by the firm, given the features and the brief amount of time we had with it at the launch event, we might be looking at a starting price of about Rs. 40,000. The OnePlus Pad, which we had a brief opportunity to experience at the event, appears to be a serious competitor for Xiaomi, Lenovo, and Samsung in the market for high-end Android tablets. Given that we have very few reliable mid-range Android tablets in the market, the iPad Air (2022) becomes an easy recommendation. In this comparison, we’ll examine how the OnePlus Pad stacks up against the Apple iPad (2022) to determine which one you should buy.

OnePlus Pad Vs Apple iPad Air: Verdict
The OnePlus Pad might be a fascinating addition to the market for high-end Android tablets. Its specifications appear to be strong, the accessories seem intriguing, and if you own other OnePlus goods, you should be able to take advantage of special capabilities.
Ultimately, the iPad Air provides you with a better deal than the iPad Pro despite having the same design, chipset, and speed. The absence of a Thunderbolt 4 port and a 120Hz display are the two things you need to consider. So, the iPad Air is a fantastic choice if you need a tablet for reading, streaming videos, and other simple chores. The Pro model is an option for those who intend to use the tab for more formal duties.
