Design
The design of the OnePlus Pad is much better than the one of the Redmi Pad. First of all, it has thinner bezels around the display, so its screen to body ratio is much higher. Further, on the rear side, it sports a more ergonomic and original design. Last but not least, it comes with a sturdy aluminum frame. The only advantage provided by the Redmi Pad is a more compact size because this tablet sports a smaller screen. But for the rest, the OnePlus Pad is definitely more interesting as it is more beautiful and well-built. Further, the OnePlus Pad supports the attachment of a physical keyboard and a pen for handwriting and drawing, amazing for productivity.
Display
Obviously, the OnePlus Pad wins the display comparison too, however, the Redmi Pad does not have a disappointing panel.

Further, it comes with a higher resolution of 2000 x 2800 pixels, so it provides a very high level of detail. It also comes with a higher 144 Hz refresh rate, one of the highest ever seen on a tablet. And we already talked about the pen support. The Redmi Pad is not able to compete with its rival, but it is still pretty good in terms of display. It has an IPS LCD panel able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 10.61 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1200 x 2000 pixels, and a 90 Hz refresh rate. Both tablets come with four stereo speakers providing a very good audio experience, but they do not have an audio jack to connect wired earphones.
