my deal breaker for this is if it needs repairs there is only one service center in the united states. for instance, if the battery needs to be replaced they have to do it because its proprietary and regular repair stores will not have it available. no one ever mentions customer service and warranty info in reviews. i bought a new S8 instead for a lot less.
@@JimIBobIJones the S8 is perfect for my needs. It was cheaper than the pad 2 and does what I need it to do. I can also have the peace of mind to know it can be fixed by my fast and friendly local repair shop if needed.
Yeah, I figured I might give it a try for the price, but I'm going to return my Pad 2 and just get an S9 Plus. Sure, I have the older Snapdragon gen 2 processor, but the benchmarks show that the performance isn't far behind the Pad 2. Overall, I think the software is better on Samsung, and I also miss having the fingerprint scanner and the tap-to-wake function. Also, there are app incompatibility issues with my Pad 2.
Note taking, multi-tasking, battery life are the reason why I bought it. I don't care about the screen, gaming on a tablet or taking pictures with a tablet.
Bro how is note taking performance. Have you used different apps other than one plus notes can you please tell. I am thinking to buy it for note taking but recently watched a review and the told pen is not so good and now I am confused.
I just recently discovered you and was supposed to be sleep a few a hours ago (its 4:37am), but I've been binge watching your reviews for these past couple hours! Starting with the s24U one. All this to say that your video quality and review takes are great! Keep up the good work!
Ordered one already, waiting excitedly for it. Currently have a xiaomi Pad 6 with snap dragon 870 + 8 GB Ram & 256 GB storage. It's on Android 14, but I don't know how long xiaomi will continue to update it. I contacted the OnePlus customer service and they said OnePlus pad 2 will receive 3 years of Major Android updates and 4 years of security updates meaning that it should be good with updates till 2028. I hope to use it till 2027 & then sell it late 2027 so that whoever buys it can still get a year or some months of security updates. Once I transfer all my stuff on my xiaomi Pad 6 to the oneplus pad 2, I will be selling my xiaomi Pad 6 right away.
Personally, I own the original OnePlus pad and I've been very satisfied with it. In my opinion, the biggest draw to this tablet is the Snapdragon 8 generation 3 chipset. Frankly, it's the best chipset available bar none. Still, the mediatek dimensity 9000 is no slouch and is quite capable. I haven't experienced any issues with it. Obviously, OnePlus did an amazing job with the pad too but, I don't feel the need to upgrade as of yet. Furthermore, last year's magnetic keyboard appears far more stable than this years. Either way, both tablets are a very good value.
@@shashinggg9652 the answer is no, there are no green lines in any of my OnePlus devices. Currently I own the OnePlus pad, 1 + 12 and the 11. I've had the pad for one year and no issues. Frankly, the only OnePlus devices that have ever experienced green lines were the ones sold in india. The global and North American models have never had the issue. In addition, there hasn't been an issue with green lines since the OnePlus 8 series back in 2020. Again, those issues we're isolated to the Indian models. Frankly, it's been a long time and I'm a little shocked that people are still talking about that. LOL
@@shashinggg9652 No, I've never experienced Green lines. In fact, the only OnePlus devices that ever experienced green lines were the models sold in india. The global and North American models have never suffered the issue. Furthermore, I believe those problems were all the way back in 2020 with the 8 series. I've owned the pad for 1 year and it's solid.
I am gonna sold my one plus pad, and get the 2. I am happy with the 1, but I feel it lacks power for some emulation. Basically the 2 is all I ever wanted to have in the pad 1, a snapdragon CPU, a bigger trackpad, more space between the keyboard and the screen and 256go of storage. Hope the pen is even better.
@@gzaos the track pad is larger but, the magnetic keyboard is more unstable. It's not something you can sit in your lap and expect to stay balanced. I've never experienced lag with the mediatek dimensity 9000. Of course, I set the RAM booster to maximum. It's set to 16GB and that should be more than sufficient for anyone. Anyway, enjoy the pad too. It looks quite nice.
Watching on my OnePlus Pad 2 and in my experience as a Gamer it's absolutely incredible. Warzone Mobile is a very Graphic Demanding game and it runs with ease.. ExilEliteYT ⚔️💪
I switched from an 11“ IPad Pro M1 to this device. Got the preorder bonus with the charger and the keyboard for free and got the stylus as well. The value for money is really good and the stylus is excellent. Overall the tablet is really good from a price/performance perspective and the Oxygen OS is well made. But they still can't get close to the interaction between Apple's HW and SW.
@@yabibiin No, I don't regret the change. The iPad Pro M4 is definitely better in some aspects, but not worth about three times the price for my purposes.
@@Dinocutie673true... but unlike apple, if software support ends, absolutely nothing will happen, unlike apple... an ipad will stop working the second software updates stop, but android? Even an android 5 still works with 80% of apps
Discovered your channel on my homepage and man, can't believe I've never watched your reviews before. Love the visuals on your thumbnails and the quality of your videos is just pleasing to the eyes. It's rare for me to subscribe to channels that I've only watched for the first time so keep up the good work!
Received mine yesterday and blown away by it. I'm all in on OLED. TV phone and laptop all use the tech so I was hesitant about going with an LCD display but the price using a borrowed student discount was too good to miss. Genuinely blown away by it. The display is punchy and way better than the contrast rating would suggest. It's really not far off OLED quality. Speakers are incredible and performance is epic and that's just leaving it on the default battery saving power plan. My only criticism is that palm rejection is not good enough for a tablet device with such slim bezels. I'm constantly activating the display when holding it as fingers spill onto the display.
Well for an IPS display it's fine and obviously it was the only way for OnePlus to cut the cost but OLED is much better if it's a good one. This tablet here with a good OLED display and it would've been really good.
This is a LCD display colors will bleed, people are used to amoled display now that's why we notice the flaws of LCD now but the pad is best for people looking for a powerhouse processer for a android at a cheaper price
Very good point. Galaxy Tab S9+ is currently on sale in Canada at $1,050 while Pad 2 with SD8 Gen 3 is priced at $750. Pad 2 would be hard to resist when it goes on sale.
Sir i hope you will give me a RESPONSE, I am big vedio watching guy,i want a very vibrant, very contrast, display,which one is better ONEPLUS PAD 2 VS SAMSUNG S9 FE+
A few months later i can still say it's worth it. But beware it tends to slightly bend easily. Just hold it against a flat surface and it bend back but yeah saw it on 2 devices already
My LCD is fine, I think it is your unit. I paid 399 using the early bird coupon two weeks before launch, I didn't get the Stylo, but got a 50% off coupon code. I think after your vid, I'll get it.
Does it support L1 support in Netflix because some reviewers did say that one plus will roll out the update after some days what the situation is just want to know.
In my opinion the display aspect ratio is the real benefit of the Oneplus Pad 2. I have always felt that the Samsung tablets are too narrow when using them in the vertical position as I do mostly when reading.
yes, you are right. unfortunately, samsung doesn't target primarily those wanting to read textbooks. i bought my current samsung FE 7 12.4 in a sale just before oneplus pad was offered. but i always wanted something like OP pad /s with aspect ratios that are best for reading textbooks.
You missed whether there is a problem plugging in a SD Card Reader. I have a cheap card reader I got for my phone and now I am wondering if it would work. also, it would have been helpful if you would have given an alternative or two.
Great video. You earned a subscriber. With that said, I think it's worth mentioning that the keyboard is not backlit. We take it for granted, especially at this price point, so that's quite a disappointment.
I'm hesitant. Their phones recently have been riddled with reliability issues. My op8 screen had green line issue twice. I'm paranoid about buying another op product. S9 price will probably drop once s10 drops
What about note taking and this student stuff? Ie hows the pen doing compared to the galaxy/ipad with unwanted hand touch etc? I want the 12"+ tablet, so pretty much only options are S9 FE+, Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro and this OnePlus Pad 2, since iPad this size is way to expensive for my usage - 900€... Galaxy has edu discount so its for 440-540€ (128/8GB and 256/12GB) with pen/without keyboard (the keyboard is kinda expensive, almost same price as Apple's - but for this model i dont see it yet available), Xiaomi 600€ with free keyboard and 80€ pen, OnePlus with free pen and 100€ keyboard is 603€. What do you think is better choice? Price point is kinda the same so it's only hw+sw comparison 🤔
I'm from Australia how can I buy one of these online? From what i can see the one plus websites are fake.... I really love the look and the features on the tablet but I have no access to it and I'm not about to buy from Amazon and risk getting a dud.
I am so confused rn,oneplus pad 2 or samsung tab s9,i am student as well i read alot,also i watch alot of netflix,which one i have to choose,please help me
I'm too invested in the Apple ecosystem to even want to move, but if I weren't, this does look interesting. I'm also sure a lot of its shortcomings can probably be fixed over time with firmware updates. Thanks, Kyle, for having a look.
Great video - lists the characteristics of the device, but also describes its practical capabilities in real-life utilisation. Very well planned and scripted. Thanks for the good work, worthwhile liking and subscribing.
I haven't used Android on a tablet for about three years but the last time I did it was a miserable experience. Common apps like Twitter didn't even have a tablet layout, they were just stretched out phone apps that looked ridiculous on a tablet sized display. Has that improved? I much prefer Android on phones and my iPad 8th gen is getting a bit long in the tooth, so I'm looking for a sub £500 replacement. I will most likely wait and see what the 11th gen iPad looks like but this would be appealing IF the app situation is better.
It is definitely better now. I won't say that it is perfect, but it is so good that I don't feel annoyed by anything since I bought the Tab S9U. Also I like that the advanced features let me choose tablet or smartphone view on landscape
Thanks for your review, as some mentioned you don't mention customer service. Reviews elsewhere mentioned horrible customer service!Does anyone here have experience with customer service?
The 8gen 3 score of this tablet is not even close 0.9k in single core vs 4.3k in multicore to what we get in smartphones about 2k in single core and about 6.5 k in multicore . I don't get , isn't same processor in tablets able to push further ?
what puts oneplus tablets apart from others is its aspect ratio. they are best for reading and annotating textbooks. other brands such as SAMSUNG prioritize entertainment.
Hey I purchased OnePlus Pad 2 and I have a Lenovo monitor with type c port. But when I connect the tab with the monitor it only charges the tab and doesn't mirror the screen. Can you please help
I think compared to it's main US competitor, the tab S9 fe plus, this tablet is what I would choose. As someone with a regular tab S9 fe I can tell you the processor just isn't enough outside of basic use cases.
I actually returned a s9 fe+ and got the Pad 2 instead. Amazing tab, love the pen and keyboard too. The folio is a little bit meh, it doesnt protect all sides. I will get a cushioned case for transport. Also, I got a screen protector because it doesn't have gorilla glass. Love the display, sound, etc. Performance is great! Battery life is rather good!
good thing I don't need the keyboard or the stylus and it works so well for the games I play as well as the insane charging speed I get where in the blink of the eye, it gets fully charged. Hopefully this will last me for a very very long time because I really love the overall performance that I may consider getting a Oneplus phone in the future.
Love mine. Got the stylo and keyboard too. The display on my unit is probably the best LCD I have had on my mobile devices. No backlight bleed. Battery life is good, stylo and keyboard too. Folio is a bit meh for my liking. I will get a proper case for it. Also, you will need a screen protector as it doesn't have Gorilla Glass. Performance wise it's unbelievably good. One thing to note: The haptic feedback of the Stylo 2 is only available on the built in note app (so far!). Rate it 8/10
Do you know if they will sell replacement tips for the pen? I like using paper feel paper and the last one wore out super quick, but they did not sell or no one did, replacement tips.
@@MarcosCruz I didn't find any info on that, so I doubt it. But I have to say the haptic feedback on the pen made me choose a normal screen protector over paper feel!
it's not in any kind of performance mode or anything - this was just a stock setup run for reference, but honestly, it feels quite snappy in practical use
@@KyleErickson it doesn't have to be in any kind of performance mode. Phones with the same processor have much higher scores. In their normal mode. No reviews have said anything about it anywhere on yt.if feels like OnePlus paid them not to talk about it.
Watching this on my Oneplus tab 2. UA-cam is very annoying always automatically recommending 720p quality... Maybe its also a issue with the wifi speed. Other than that, its been great. I love the gaming performance
@@kavianandvj3853 I would call it decent. It should easily last the whole day with normal use, playing video, taking notes etc. When I emulate GameCube games, or play CoD mobile it lasts about 6-7 hours.
@@skullgaming5961 ofc. Compared to OLED it's not as good... But do you want to pay triple for a Ipad Pro 2024... The LCD screen is good, it has great viewing angles, and 3k content looks amazingly sharp
Hi, I'm a university student. I mainly use this for taking notes and watching movies, i want to know how is the display for netflix, apple tv, etc. and how is the pencil for note taking when compared to apple pencil. I'm getting this for $465 including the pencil. whats your opinion.
I'm in the same boat and the Stylo is really good, almost no lag whatsoever and it's very accurate. The only thing that annoys me a bit is that the stylo's features, such as the double tap feature and the haptic feedback, only work on OnePlus apps and the OnePlus notes app is pretty restrictive but other than that it's great.
I really hate the new Keyboard. Compared to the magic Keyboard from apple this one have to many bugs. No light, weird things happen when i use that trackpad🤮. With this issues i use nearly all time no keyboard
0:22 Best option for a mid range tablet? Sir, I got MAD at this point! This has the top of the line flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with Antutu scores above 1.8 million! Does this sound mid range to you?
@@KyleErickson It has such a score because it is capable enough to achieve it. Real world performance will reflect it too, like playing graphics intensive games like Genshin impact with high frame rates for a longer period, video rendering etc. It gives the best performance that an Android tablet could offer till date. Calling it a "mid-range" device is not fair. It is a flagship level performer. Also, what is the obsession with that jack? There are type c to audio jack converters. There are headphones with type c connectors. Wireless headphones/buds exist. Why you reviewers emphasize the lack of a jack? Not even a real disadvantage.
I currently have that Pad right now. Weirdly it got 1.4 million antutu score in balanced mode while in Performance mode got little bit decent around 1.7 million. Dunno what it’s holding them back, maybe the chipset got underclocked or something
Just discovered your channel, fantastic quality review. I am typing on the OnePlus pad 2 right now and agree with the majority of your analysis. It's a nice device especially for the pre order deals price we just had.
@@Dinocutie673 if money isn't a concern the Air M2, if that's the one you mean? Is better for sure, particularly if you are already on iOS. Money was a factor for me and the bang for buck and interest value for me personally in trying out an android device again after about 6 years away made it worthwhile.
I wish it had other languages for keyboards in Danmark. Because they only sell US international keyboard. Otherwise I would buy it. But it’s weird that it doesn’t have a 3.5 headphone jack.
Can you do reviews with sock puppets and get two birds stoned at once? Great video, seems like honest opinions based on your kind of use. Will you do a "best of 2024" like other UA-camrs? Everyone loves comparisons to help them make the difficult choices in the market.
Great video Kyle, dont know if you will see this but if you can get your hands on the Vivo pad 3 pro and make a video about it. Maybe a stand alone or comparison with the oneplus that would be great as well. Loved this btw👍🏻
I don't know what kind of chargers you have, but when I ordered the Pad 2 I got the original 80 watt charger for free and I can charge it from 5 to 100% in just under 60 minutes. And something is wrong with your network, at home with my 1 Gbit I always tested at a minimum of 600 Mbit up to the maximum possible speed of my line Or in other words 80 to 120 MB/s, continuously! And I have a battery life of 24 hours and 11 hours of that are display on time 😎
my deal breaker for this is if it needs repairs there is only one service center in the united states. for instance, if the battery needs to be replaced they have to do it because its proprietary and regular repair stores will not have it available. no one ever mentions customer service and warranty info in reviews. i bought a new S8 instead for a lot less.

Galaxy has edu discount so its for 440-540€ (128/8GB and 256/12GB) with pen/without keyboard (the keyboard is kinda expensive, almost same price as Apple's - but for this model i dont see it yet available), Xiaomi 600€ with free keyboard and 80€ pen, OnePlus with free pen and 100€ keyboard is 603€.
What do you think is better choice? Price point is kinda the same so it's only hw+sw comparison 🤔
Ima one plus one user the ram boost is amazing as i do alot of lightroom edits and now having 12 inch screen and dual screen im excited to get one
I'm from Australia how can I buy one of these online? From what i can see the one plus websites are fake.... I really love the look and the features on the tablet but I have no access to it and I'm not about to buy from Amazon and risk getting a dud.
Awesome video!
Tis suppot dobly vision and widewine l1???
I am so confused rn,oneplus pad 2 or samsung tab s9,i am student as well i read alot,also i watch alot of netflix,which one i have to choose,please help me
I'm too invested in the Apple ecosystem to even want to move, but if I weren't, this does look interesting. I'm also sure a lot of its shortcomings can probably be fixed over time with firmware updates.
Thanks, Kyle, for having a look.
can you connect an external SSD to it?
Yes... I connected 1 TB SSD
Also, does photoshop express or elements or whatever work on it?
Great video - lists the characteristics of the device, but also describes its practical capabilities in real-life utilisation. Very well planned and scripted. Thanks for the good work, worthwhile liking and subscribing.
I haven't used Android on a tablet for about three years but the last time I did it was a miserable experience. Common apps like Twitter didn't even have a tablet layout, they were just stretched out phone apps that looked ridiculous on a tablet sized display. Has that improved? I much prefer Android on phones and my iPad 8th gen is getting a bit long in the tooth, so I'm looking for a sub £500 replacement. I will most likely wait and see what the 11th gen iPad looks like but this would be appealing IF the app situation is better.
It is definitely better now. I won't say that it is perfect, but it is so good that I don't feel annoyed by anything since I bought the Tab S9U. Also I like that the advanced features let me choose tablet or smartphone view on landscape
Thanks for your review, as some mentioned you don't mention customer service. Reviews elsewhere mentioned horrible customer service!Does anyone here have experience with customer service?
The 8gen 3 score of this tablet is not even close 0.9k in single core vs 4.3k in multicore to what we get in smartphones about 2k in single core and about 6.5 k in multicore . I don't get , isn't same processor in tablets able to push further ?
what puts oneplus tablets apart from others is its aspect ratio. they are best for reading and annotating textbooks. other brands such as SAMSUNG prioritize entertainment.
A relative comparison would help lay viewers, maybe a small excerpt stating the competition
Kyle: Thanks for asking OP about color gammut, finally someone
Can I open office applications in an optimized way?
Hey I purchased OnePlus Pad 2 and I have a Lenovo monitor with type c port. But when I connect the tab with the monitor it only charges the tab and doesn't mirror the screen. Can you please help
I think compared to it's main US competitor, the tab S9 fe plus, this tablet is what I would choose. As someone with a regular tab S9 fe I can tell you the processor just isn't enough outside of basic use cases.
I actually returned a s9 fe+ and got the Pad 2 instead. Amazing tab, love the pen and keyboard too. The folio is a little bit meh, it doesnt protect all sides. I will get a cushioned case for transport. Also, I got a screen protector because it doesn't have gorilla glass.
Love the display, sound, etc. Performance is great! Battery life is rather good!
May I ask why you decided to get the tab s9 fe+ instead of the tab s9? Iam carefully considering what to purchase for University. Thanks in advance!
@@Trikz-cc6yp For me it was the cost. But I should have spent the extra money to get the S9, FE just has too many limitations.
But, will it last 6 years like my current iPad with zero issues?
The only two downsides I feel are
1 no sd card slot
2 no fingerprint reader
Excellent video 🤩🤩🤩
Make a tips and tricks video please
Yes, please!!
good thing I don't need the keyboard or the stylus and it works so well for the games I play as well as the insane charging speed I get where in the blink of the eye, it gets fully charged. Hopefully this will last me for a very very long time because I really love the overall performance that I may consider getting a Oneplus phone in the future.
Love mine. Got the stylo and keyboard too. The display on my unit is probably the best LCD I have had on my mobile devices. No backlight bleed.
Battery life is good, stylo and keyboard too. Folio is a bit meh for my liking. I will get a proper case for it. Also, you will need a screen protector as it doesn't have Gorilla Glass.
Performance wise it's unbelievably good.
One thing to note: The haptic feedback of the Stylo 2 is only available on the built in note app (so far!).
Rate it 8/10
Do you know if they will sell replacement tips for the pen? I like using paper feel paper and the last one wore out super quick, but they did not sell or no one did, replacement tips.
@@MarcosCruz I didn't find any info on that, so I doubt it. But I have to say the haptic feedback on the pen made me choose a normal screen protector over paper feel!
A 8 gen 3 processor scoring 931 in single core geekbench..is the cpu underclocked?
it's not in any kind of performance mode or anything - this was just a stock setup run for reference, but honestly, it feels quite snappy in practical use
@@KyleErickson it doesn't have to be in any kind of performance mode. Phones with the same processor have much higher scores. In their normal mode. No reviews have said anything about it anywhere on yt.if feels like OnePlus paid them not to talk about it.
One plus 2 or galaxy tab s9 plus
Lamplighter, is that you?
Watching this on my Oneplus tab 2. UA-cam is very annoying always automatically recommending 720p quality... Maybe its also a issue with the wifi speed. Other than that, its been great. I love the gaming performance
How about the battery back up
@@kavianandvj3853 I would call it decent. It should easily last the whole day with normal use, playing video, taking notes etc. When I emulate GameCube games, or play CoD mobile it lasts about 6-7 hours.
How is the display compared to OLED
@@skullgaming5961 ofc. Compared to OLED it's not as good... But do you want to pay triple for a Ipad Pro 2024... The LCD screen is good, it has great viewing angles, and 3k content looks amazingly sharp
compare stylo 2 with s pen
You look very similar to Captain Birdseye. Is he your brother, or something?
Hi, I'm a university student. I mainly use this for taking notes and watching movies, i want to know how is the display for netflix, apple tv, etc. and how is the pencil for note taking when compared to apple pencil. I'm getting this for $465 including the pencil. whats your opinion.
I'm in the same boat and the Stylo is really good, almost no lag whatsoever and it's very accurate. The only thing that annoys me a bit is that the stylo's features, such as the double tap feature and the haptic feedback, only work on OnePlus apps and the OnePlus notes app is pretty restrictive but other than that it's great.
@@bendobbing7015 how is the display quality, do you feel a significant difference between this and OLED display for watching movies and series?
@@bendobbing7015 how is the display quality compared to an OLED display. Do you feel a significant difference for watching movies.

Go with samsung s9 tablet
seems pretty nice
I really hate the new Keyboard. Compared to the magic Keyboard from apple this one have to many bugs. No light, weird things happen when i use that trackpad🤮. With this issues i use nearly all time no keyboard
0:22 Best option for a mid range tablet? Sir, I got MAD at this point! This has the top of the line flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with Antutu scores above 1.8 million! Does this sound mid range to you?
I'm not sure what a benchmark score sounds like, go on
@@KyleErickson It has such a score because it is capable enough to achieve it. Real world performance will reflect it too, like playing graphics intensive games like Genshin impact with high frame rates for a longer period, video rendering etc. It gives the best performance that an Android tablet could offer till date. Calling it a "mid-range" device is not fair. It is a flagship level performer.
Also, what is the obsession with that jack? There are type c to audio jack converters. There are headphones with type c connectors. Wireless headphones/buds exist. Why you reviewers emphasize the lack of a jack? Not even a real disadvantage.
@@Maddy-OP3 i think he ment mid range price 😂😂
I currently have that Pad right now. Weirdly it got 1.4 million antutu score in balanced mode while in Performance mode got little bit decent around 1.7 million.
Dunno what it’s holding them back, maybe the chipset got underclocked or something
😂😂😂 I think he means mid range price wise
Guys, what is the difference between Oneplus Pad 2 and Oneplus Pad Pro?
Geekbench score are very low. What's with that
ufs 3.1
Just discovered your channel, fantastic quality review. I am typing on the OnePlus pad 2 right now and agree with the majority of your analysis. It's a nice device especially for the pre order deals price we just had.
Is the wifi thing also happen on your tablet?
@@Dinocutie673 no issues I’ve noticed
@@Tazzfalcon I still can’t decide between this or Ipad air 6th. The OS support for oneplus is 3 years only, I’m afraid it will be an issue after that.
@@Dinocutie673 if money isn't a concern the Air M2, if that's the one you mean? Is better for sure, particularly if you are already on iOS. Money was a factor for me and the bang for buck and interest value for me personally in trying out an android device again after about 6 years away made it worthwhile.
I wish it had other languages for keyboards in Danmark. Because they only sell US international keyboard. Otherwise I would buy it. But it’s weird that it doesn’t have a 3.5 headphone jack.
Can any other OnePlus Pad 2 user confirm WiFi slowness? tia
S9 Plus Tab or Oneplus Tab 2? I can't decide 😂
Go for S9 plus, this one only got 3 years of OS support.
S9P, you will thanks us later
OnePlus pad2 or samsung galaxy tab s9?@@alipioafonso
Сегодня заказал дочери, она ждет с нетерпением 👍
Too late 😂 I was fan of one plus ..I just got iPad Air 13inch..anotherwise I would love to order this one look worthy
Can you do reviews with sock puppets and get two birds stoned at once? Great video, seems like honest opinions based on your kind of use. Will you do a "best of 2024" like other UA-camrs? Everyone loves comparisons to help them make the difficult choices in the market.
Has anyone tried using Netflix on OnePlus pad 2? Mine not working on the day 1.
It should work!
no SD card storage is a no no for me.
Waiting for this type of android tablet, its so hard to find android tablet with the convenient of e-reader like ratio, this suits my needs
Wish it had an oled display instead
Great video Kyle, dont know if you will see this but if you can get your hands on the Vivo pad 3 pro and make a video about it. Maybe a stand alone or comparison with the oneplus that would be great as well. Loved this btw👍🏻
no micro sd card:( so is a no for me
Can you believe that this thing is already obsolete with the release of Snapdragon 8 Gen 4?
Oneplus didnt mention the contrast ratio on their page. Guess why?
Plot twist: its lower than pad 1's ratio 😏
Where did you find?
@@shrihan999 gsmarena under "tests" section
@@shrihan999 864:1, its pretty low, i have a g54 mobile with a 1600+ ratio, the difference is day and nght
Thanks for another objective review Kyle. That Pad 2 would be very tempting if I wasn't already hip deep in Apple devices.
Them wifi speeds are insane i wish i got those speeds i wouldnt be moaning
I don't know what kind of chargers you have, but when I ordered the Pad 2 I got the original 80 watt charger for free and I can charge it from 5 to 100% in just under 60 minutes. And something is wrong with your network, at home with my 1 Gbit I always tested at a minimum of 600 Mbit up to the maximum possible speed of my line Or in other words 80 to 120 MB/s, continuously! And I have a battery life of 24 hours and 11 hours of that are display on time 😎
I wish it were just my network, but the network issues have been reported by many people, unfortunately.
First 🎉
Mid range tablet ?????? Bro what is mid about this tablet
Yeah this tablet is Mid High tier
