The OnePlus Pad has gone through the paces of JerryRigEverything’s durability test. The first-ever OnePlus tablet passed all the critical aspects of the rigorous grilling durability test.
The OnePlus Pad comes as one of the best Android tablets in the market. Durability is an integral part that must be factored into devices. The OnePus Pad and its accompanying Stylo accessory were put through the paces of JerryRigEverything’s test recently. The result of the durability test is refreshingly pleasant for this premium OnePlus Android tablet. The result also underscores a shifting focus by the OnePlus brand to build more durable devices across its lineup of offerings.
The OnePlus Pad has a similar design in some respect to the Apple iPad. As per the durability test, the OnePlus Pad’s screen had a score of six on the Mohs hardness scale for screen scratching. It also showed deeper groves at level seven, the same as the Apple iPad.
The OnePlus Pad’s display survived exposure to a naked flame for 10 seconds before the pixes began to decline. The damage on the 11.4-inch 144Hz display was not permanent, as the pixels were restored after some time. This is the expected behavior of an IPS LCD panel. The pad’s frame architecture is also sufficiently durable with metal finishing around the device. A small plastic section for wireless charging of the Stylo is present but this did not affect the device’s structural integrity.
During the bend test, the OnePlus Pad was sturdy enough and only deformed slightly. The frame was bent permanently when force was applied to the back. However, the display remained intact and did not pop out. The display popped out slightly when bent from the side but was still fully functional. This aspect of its durability performance is important to note, as many iPad versions have failed this test.
The OnePlus Stylo did not withstand the bend test as it snapped in the middle. The inside of the stylus revealed an 82mAh battery and an arrangement of copper pads for pressure sensing. There is also magnetic material on the Stylo that allows it to attach to the tablet’s body. The tips of the stylus pen can also be replaced by twisting and then pulling.
Overall, the OnePlus Pad had a decent JerryRigEverything’s test on several of the test parameters. The device squares up nicely against the Apple iPad but its stylus is lacking in durability.
