It targets media consumers and productivity users who want a premium Android tablet experience.
Design & Build
-
- Look & feel: Slim metal-finish body with clean OnePlus styling and a prominent circular rear camera housing. Offered in Nimbus Gray (and regionally varied color options).
-
- Dimensions & weight: ~268.66 × 195.06 × 6.49 mm; weight around 584 g — thin and relatively light for a 12.1″ tablet.
Why it matters: The slim profile makes it easy to hold for extended reading or streaming sessions while the aluminum-like finish gives a premium look.
Display — size/resolution
-
- Size & type: 12.1-inch IPS LCD (3K) with a 7:5-ish aspect ratio (unique taller-than-wide look).
-
- Resolution: ~2120 × 3000 pixels (≈303 ppi).
-
- Refresh rate & HDR: Up to 144 Hz refresh and Dolby Vision support — great for smooth UI interactions, games, and cinematic content. Peak brightness is marketed near ~900 nits (typ).
Takeaway: Excellent for streaming and gaming; the high refresh rate combined with Dolby Vision support elevates the multimedia experience.
Performance & chipset
-
- SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (tablet-tuned variant).
-
- CPU/GPU: Octa-core CPU configuration and Adreno 750 GPU (capable flagship-level performance).
-
- Memory & storage: Configurations include 8GB/12GB RAM and 128GB/256GB UFS storage (varies by market). UFS 3.1 on standard models.
Real-world: This chipset handles multitasking, productivity apps, and most modern Android games smoothly — excellent for creators using editing apps and for heavy multitasking.
Battery, charging & endurance
-
- Capacity: 9,510 mAh battery.
-
- Charging: SUPERVOOC fast charging support (OnePlus marketing lists 67W or ~76W regionally — check your local spec page). Official pages mention fast charging support and the OnePlus packaging/retailer pages vary slightly by region.
Expected endurance: Large capacity aims for multi-day light usage or a full day of heavy mixed use (streaming, gaming, productivity). Fast charging helps top up quickly between sessions.
Cameras & Media
-
- Rear camera: 13 MP main camera capable of 4K@30fps video (basic tablet cameras — suitable for documents, quick snaps).
-

Final verdict

It’s ideal for multimedia consumers, students, and creative users who want a capable Android tablet with stylus/keyboard support without stepping into the much pricier pro-tablet ecosystem.
