OnePlus finally released its first Android tablet in February 2023. The device was praised for its features, but many critics felt that it was held back by its Android software. In a recent review, JerryRigEverything, a YouTube channel known for its durability tests on smartphones and tablets, put the OnePlus Pad to the test. The tablet held up well in the test, withstanding scratches, bending, and heat. Here are the details…

OnePlus Pad Stands Up to Scratches, Bends, and Heat in New Durability Test

JerryRigEverything started their durability test with the OnePlus Stylo. This stylus is fairly standard, but it does have some standard features, such as copper coils for wireless charging and a real battery. The durability test proceeded with OnePlus Pad as usual, with a scratch test. The tablet “scratched at level 6 and left deeper grooves at level 7”. This is a fairly standard result, and it is one of the limits of the technology we have today. If your device’s screen is not protected with sapphire instead of glass, this is the maximum durability you can achieve.

The tablet passed the burn test, but it really shined in the bending test. As you know, size is not always an advantage when it comes to structural integrity, especially for smartphones and tablets. In previous tests, we’ve seen that the screen can be a weak point, and the frames can break under pressure. This was especially true for the iPad models we tested. However, OnePlus Pad is different. It’s made from a stronger material that makes it more resistant to bending. JerryRigEverything put it through rigorous bending test, and it passed with flying colors.
