OnePlus Pad 2 review – On par with the iPad Air, but at half the price.

[Redaktion]

Plenty of power, storage and screen real estate: The OnePlus Pad 2 has lots to offer. The China-based OnePlus strives to compete with major players in the tablet business whilst considerably undercutting them in price. In this review, we'll explore whether this formula for success holds up this time around.

Why didn´t you test benchmarks as geekbench 6 with performance mode enabled.
I always run it with performance mode enabled and it scores like other snapdragon 8 gen 3

I don't understand why NBC skipped the Iqoo Pad 2 Pro or Vivo Pad 3 Pro tablet.

A review of them is essential, as these tablets surpass the OnePlus Pad 2, Honor MagicPad 2 12.3", and iPad Air M2 in several aspects.  They boast a Dimensity 9300+ chipset, a 13-inch display with 900 nits brightness, UFS 4.0 storage, USB-C 3.2 connectivity, a 144Hz refresh rate screen, and an 11,500 mAh battery.  Additionally, OriginOS offers seamless connectivity with macOS and Windows systems.

Poor review is bad for confidence on Notebookcheck.

Why for comparison is not included the direct competitor Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro that Notebookcheck reviewed this year and instead we get a comparison with an old and another class Xiaomi 6.
Why the Honor MagicPad 2 that was reviewed a couples of weeks ago is not included in comparison but an old Lenovo P12 is?

Why it is not stated clearly what is the SDR brightness and we have an evasive text that when bright light the HDR goes to 800+?
The brightness for Xiaomi Pad 6S pro is said to be 810 nits in white background, so why the lack of consistency, with different references like this it is impossible to compare...

Noteboocheck can do better.

These are some reviews of direct competitors in notebookcheck -so not some exterior site - that the reviewer of this piece did not acknowledged. Of note the final paragraphs.

Until OLED is available without PWM flickering I'll take high quality IPS like this any day. Well done OnePlus.

Beware! Lots of issues with the tablet, which is not said in any reviews, no charging works if you connect any USBc hub with PD. This is a total joke and scam!

My Indian unit did come with the 67W charger, in the box. Not sure why the authors didn't get their power brick.

Warning: Dont buy the Pad 2! It has many issues no reviewer will tell you. It has Wifi issues with drop outs on low latency applications. It cant play 4k and HDR content through Netflix and other streaming apps. And here comes the biggest issue, no USBc hub with PD works with the Pad 2! You cant connect ANY usb hub with PD with it. It will just charge with 500mA and destroy the battery if you connect a UBBc hub with PD. For example a USBc PD splitter with audio and PD. Wont work!
