Trade-in any phone or tablet in any condition to get $50 off and then sign-up for texts/emails for an additional $30 off. The OnePlus Pad is currently $80 off and you get a free Magnetic Keyboard ($150) or Folio ($30 - I don't recommend).

Cost breakdown:

$480 Pad
$150 Keyboard
$630 Total

-$80 Discount on Pad
-$150 Free Keyboard
-$50 Trade-in any condition (more for others, like $100 for iP X or $160 for iP 11; or see link https://www.oneplus.com/us/buy-oneplus-pad)
-$30 Sign-up Texts/Emails
$320 New Total

Taxes vary, I'm in CA 7.75%

The total cost for me after taxes is $344.79.

I didn't think no OLED would bother me at all but I find myself wanting to watch stuff on my phone instead.

The multitasking features don't really work as well as they seem to think and aren't as intuitive as you would hope.

No WiFi 6E which I was surprised to learn it didn't have for a tablet released in 2023.

It feels like there are no unique features or licensed apps that make great use of the marketed accessory. When you buy a tablet that comes with a stylus, you would expect features built into the OS that are custom tailored to the stylus or art/scribbling/note taking apps that come with it for free. The keyboard cover perfectly accompanies the tablet physically by how it acts as a cover and snaps on the tablet. But apart from that, it's just a keyboard. Not much is offered in the way of consuming the Android experience with a custom keyboard.
I got this info from a site review of this pad:

The OnePlus Pad comes with OnePlus' OxygenOS software built on top of Android 13. It's a lightly customized take on Android that mostly relies on Google's implementation of things like multitasking. The company is committing to three years of OS updates and four years of security patches on the Pad, both a year less than what it provides for its phones.

So not a great update length. I'll probably pass on this due to the policy.
Don't activate the student discount, even if you are a student. You won't be able to use the $30 off coupon, which is more of a discount.

Depends on your use case, if I want to read technical pdfs etc, I'd rather have an aspect ratio close to iPad pro or oneplus pad than a 16:10 or 16:9 tablet. I'd also rather not have to deal with Apple app store and the walled garden that it is. On the flip side ios has apps that cater more directly towards a tablet than android apps where it's the same as a phone app, just scaled up for the larger screen.

Quote from sofakinglame :
I've had this for about a year now, it's amazing. Fully loaded and capable. Screen is crystal clear and bright. I haven't found anything that I can't do on it yet. Mine came with the keyboard and it's nice. The whole setup is super thin. I bought my own universal stylus, not a OnePlus branded for $5 on Ali and it works perfectly. I came from an iPad mini and this crushes that.

Does generic stylus support palm rejection? Can you share the item or link? Thank you

Depends, if I was watching widescreen media, possibly yes. If I wanted to read a digital 'book', then no.

Quote from JLee50 :
Without knowing how many antennas/streams the device has, the wireless networking standards aren't all that helpful in determining actual throughput ceilings.

That's why I provided an average, not a ceiling.

When you get into multiband and beam forming, both protocols can be significantly faster.

But, again, unless you have a way to utilize it, you're not benefitting from it. In fact, it's a bigger power draw.

Quote from BUYMECAR :
I have Nest Pro 6E mesh w/ 1 Gbps service. I'm not worried about speeds. I live in a highly congested area so I'd like to make use of bandwidths with less noise.

And I'm not comparing this to an iPad. I'm comparing it to other Android tablets I've experienced in the past. I've purchased tablets for myself and family. As much as I dislike Samsung, their accessories are accompanied with tailored OS gestures/interactions and built-in apps. Every Android tablet I've ever used that had a flagship accessory had unique software integration except this and Amazon Fire which was just a cover.

Congestion has nothing to do with bandwidth and higher bands at higher frequencies only transmit worse.

If you want less congestion, set your router to a different broadcast channel that doesn't overlap with your neighbors. You can get an app for your phone that will help you pick a channel if your router doesn't provide an AP map.

The problem with leaving it to automatically pick a channel is that everyone else also has it set the same way. Not only is that a waste of time for your router, there's no guarantee that it settles on one of the higher frequency channels.

Also, mesh can help with propagation, but it's actually worse than a single AP at competing with background noise.

If there's one particular place in your home where you need better coverage, get an AP extender and backhaul your mesh off of that (or, better yet, run an ethernet backhaul straight from your primary router).

As for included software, my point about the iPad is that even in an ecosystem of severe conformity, they don't bundle you with any particular software.

The fact that this tablet doesn't include any software that showcases these features is both so that it doesn't cost more but also because it's your tablet — who are they to tell you what software to use?

Think of it this way: It includes a keyboard. How patronizing would it be if it came bundled with Mavis Teaches Typing?

Why not WiFi 7 while you're at it?

If you're going to participate, at least have some understanding of what you're talking about.

"Researchers from the Universities of Edinburgh and Dublin have discovered that smartphones made by OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Oppo Realme that are sold in China collect and transfer enormous amounts of data to several parties related to the CCP, without the users' knowledge or permission."

Quote from MM7807 :
I researched ALOT. The only competition for this is the mi 6 pad. That said, I don't trust xiomi.

Yes an iPad will be double or more and last double or more. I love my iPhone yet I love android more.

Sure Samsung hi-end galaxy tablets are the best. Low end Samsung are garbage.

Bottom line - this is the perfect midrange tablet. Can handle fast games. Yeah oled screen would definitely be sweeter but that would make it more expensive and I would buy a used Samsung galaxy tablet in fair-good condition instead. Aspect ratio is meh. I wish it was 16:9 instead of boxy iPad style. But I got used to it.

Got mine for $400 no keyboard. I guess the keyboard is a plus especially if you're a college student - I don't need the keyboard and you have to trade in a tablet for this price - the only deal here is the free keyboard.

Oh and the Google pad is also par with this, kind of. The Google pad has a speaker charging stand which is awesome but the OnePlus is faster.
i have the pixel tablet and dislike it as a tablet. within reason. it's terrible with a keyboard/mouse. bad battey life. very overpriced almost mandatory official case ($80). and nothing on amazon comes close to the official case (i'm sure they're prevented from copying it by patents). doesnt feel solid in the hand, and is a fingerprint magnet on the display (not really sure why, but it seems so). the tensor chips are just kinda bad. perform fine, but bad battery life.

but i got it cus the dock fits me and i guess that part is good. even if i dont love it as much as i thought, i also think i'd dislike any tablet without a dock now. but obviously i'm in the minority, because im pretty sure the pixel tab flopped and they're now offering it for 399 without the dock. at which price it's a solid value arguably.

if its like one plus other products this will be a beast, powerful and inexpensive. no oled but you know that going in and for 320 with k/b rn be serious. a high quality lcd is fine.

since Samsung good tablets are now crazy expensive, and the fe are overpriced and underpowered, this or the pixel tablet is it for good mid range. and lenovo i guess but they seem on the way out?
