Apple offers a plethora of iPad models that are available in multiple price brackets, but as always, there are always some people who will never be used to iPadOS. Unfortunately, for such consumers, there are very few Android alternatives available at an affordable price, with the closest vendor being Samsung. Thankfully, during Amazon Black Friday 2024, the OnePlus Pad 2 offers exceptional hardware and with its $479.99 price after a 13 percent discount, it is one of the best large-screen value propositions out there that does not flaunt that partially eaten Apple logo.
Sporting a decent 12.1-inch IPS LCD with a crisp 3,000 x 2,120 resolution that supports a 144Hz refresh rate, everything on the OnePlus Pad 2 will look sharp and clean. The company also uses quality materials for the construction as it is one of the sturdiest slates ever made. However, will users be disappointed by the lack of processing power? On the contrary, because the OnePlus Pad 2 is armed with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, making it the fastest Android tablet available at this time, unless of course, a OnePlus Pad 3 arrives with the Snapdragon 8 Elite in the future.
The chipset is supplemented by 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, which will be plentiful for multitasking, with 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal memory being sufficient for the majority of users. You also get a 13MP rear camera, with an 8MP front-facing shooter, which are decent for video quality, but that is about all we will recommend you to do when using these sensors. The battery life will be exceptional, thanks to the 9,510mAh capacity, and best of all, it can be topped up faster thanks to the 67W fast charging support.
About the only thing to complain about the OnePlus Pad 2 is the lack of a 3.5mm audio jack because you never know when you want to consume media alone and do not want anyone disturbing you at random intervals. There is no update as to when this deal will last, but there is no time like the present, so you better move quickly.
