The premium Android tablet market has become more competitive, with brands now focusing on flagship performance, productivity features, and ecosystem integration. The OnePlus Pad 4 is the company’s most ambitious tablet yet, bringing top-tier hardware, a large high-refresh-rate display, powerful speakers, and software features designed to make it more than just a content consumption device.
Originally priced at Rs. 59,999, the OnePlus Pad 4 becomes an even more attractive proposition during the Independence Day Sale 2026, where the tablet is now available for Rs. 56,499. After spending time with the Dune Glow variant and the Stylo Pro, I put it through daily use to find out whether this premium Android tablet is worth buying at this price and if it can truly serve as a laptop replacement.
7A few missing features hold it back
The OnePlus Pad 4 gets very close to being the perfect premium Android tablet, but there are a few compromises.
The absence of a fingerprint sensor is disappointing at this price point. Face unlock works well in good lighting, but a fingerprint scanner would have made authentication more convenient.
The lack of cellular connectivity is another limitation. A premium tablet with 5G support would have offered more flexibility for users who want true portability.
The cameras are also functional rather than impressive. They are good enough for video calls, scanning documents, and occasional photography, but photography is clearly not the focus here.
Pricing and Availability
The OnePlus Pad 4 is available in two configurations in India. The 8GB + 256GB variant is priced at Rs. 59,999, while the 12GB + 512GB model costs Rs. 64,999.
However, during the OnePlus Independence Day Sale 2026, the tablet is available at a lower effective price. The 8GB+256GB variant bundled with the OnePlus Stylo Pro is available for Rs. 56,499, while the 12GB+512GB variant with the Stylo Pro bundle is priced at Rs. 61,499.
