I was very excited for the OnePlus Pad when it was announced back in February. I used the iPad Air as my go-to tablet for the last two years, and while I like most things about it, the lack of a 120Hz panel was a bit of a limiting factor, so when I saw that the OnePlus Pad came with a 144Hz screen, I was thrilled.
That excitement turned into consternation when I actually started using the OnePlus Pad. What immediately ticked me off was the software; it is nearly identical to what you'll find on the OnePlus 11, and while that's not a bad thing, there isn't as much tablet-focused customization as I was looking for. Nevertheless, I was keen on testing out the accessory ecosystem and wanted to see how the keyboard and stylus would hold up.
