The premium Android tablet space has started seeing more meaningful upgrades lately, and the OnePlus Pad 4 appears to be part of that transition. Ahead of its official launch, the tablet has surfaced with flagship-grade hardware, a slimmer body, and a stronger focus on productivity. After spending some time with the device, the OnePlus Pad 4 gives the impression of a tablet that wants to do far more than basic entertainment and casual browsing.

Powering the tablet is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with up to 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB UFS 4.1 storage. During early testing, the tablet handled multitasking smoothly, with apps opening quickly and split-screen usage remaining fluid. OnePlus has also included a larger vapour chamber cooling system, which could help maintain performance during demanding tasks and gaming sessions.
While short-term performance appears promising, the real picture regarding thermal management and sustained performance will become clearer after extended testing. Still, the hardware combination suggests that the OnePlus Pad 4 is targeting power users alongside casual consumers.
