OnePlus Pad vs 10th Gen iPad: How do they compare?

OnePlus smartphones have always offered the best Android software experience, but the launch of the new OnePlus Pad proves that the brand is serious about tablets, as well. The tablet offers a premium experience at a price point that makes it a great buy. The closest tablet we can think of that offers a similar experience is Apple’s iPad 10th generation. Both OnePlus Pad and iPad 10th generation have modern designs, promise good performance, and support their respective ecosystems. Here’s a quick comparison between the OnePlus Pad and Apple iPad 10th generation.
Designed to last
When it comes to tablets, most brands draw inspiration from the iPad and the OnePlus Pad is no different. Both the OnePlus Pad and iPad 10th generation offer a metal unibody design, and the centrally placed camera island on the OnePlus Pad does make it stand out when compared to the competition. While the OnePlus Pad is available in a single shade of Halo Green, the 10th Gen iPad comes in four colours.

Both tablets miss out on a 3.5mm headphone jack and both have a USB Type-C port. While the data transfer speeds on the OnePlus Pad are limited to USB 2.0 standard, the latest entry-level iPad does offer faster data transfer speeds. Given that design is a subjective matter, both have their advantages and disadvantages here.
Power and performance
The OnePlus Pad is powered by the newer Dimensity 9000 SoC and the 10th Gen iPad comes with the A14 Bionic processor. As per the benchmarks, the iPad is around 10 to 15% slower when compared to the OnePlus Pad. However, in the real world, the iPad will feel smoother and it all boils down to software optimization. Besides, on the base model, the OnePlus Pad offers 128 GB storage, which is twice as much as what the Apple iPad offers.
Software support
One clear advantage of the iPad is the software experience. Apple has almost perfected the large-screen tablet operating system. From the UI to the app support, the iPadOS feels more stable and refined. On top of that, the 10th Gen iPad will also get extended software support and will stay relevant for years.
Besides, you can also get a lot of first-party and third-party accessories for the iPad, including folio cases, wireless keyboards, a stylus, and more. Lastly, it’s an iPad, and it definitely has a more premium brand value attached to it.

Display
The OnePlus Pad also has one clear advantage over the 10th-Gen iPad, and that is its display. The OnePlus Pad has a slightly larger 11.61-inch display with QHD+ resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. Hence, the OnePlus Pad will feel smoother when compared to the 60Hz display on the 10th-Gen iPad. For some, Android-based OxygenOS could also seem like an advantage over iPadOS, especially for those who want to sideload apps, and this could all change with the iPadOS 17 update.
