OnePlus Pad 2 Price Leaked: Samsung Should Be Worried
We've already known OnePlus will unveil a new slate of products at an event tomorrow including the successor to the OnePlus Pad, the Pad 2. While the Android tablet was featured in leaks before, its price remains a mystery. A new report has surfaced, shedding light on the retail price of the device ahead of its launch.
Frequent leaker Yogesh Brar shared images of the alleged retail box of the OnePlus Pad 2 that showcases the tablet's design along with the literal sticker price in India which will most likely dictate the global price.
How much will the OnePlus Pad 2 cost outside of China?
Basically, the OnePlus Pad 2 was listed for Rs. 47,999 ($575) a pop, labeled as the “maximum” price. However, Brar noted it will be offered at a lower introductory price of Rs. 45,999 ($550) at launch, but it's unknown what the memory configuration is at this price point.
While this highlights the tablet's price in the country, it also hinted just how much it will cost in other markets, including the USA. As a reference, the OnePlus Pad currently retails for $480. Based on that, the 2nd generation OnePlus Pad will command a higher price than its predecessor.

Price-
MRP: Rs 47,999 (45,999 offering price)

OnePlus Stylo 2 : Rs 5k

- 13MP rear, 8MP selfie camera
- Android 14, OxygenOS 14
- 9,510mAh battery, 67W charging pic.twitter.com/vOOnZrhlDu
The higher price is most likely the result of a few hardware upgrades in the Pad 2. It is known it will share most features and specifications with the OnePlus Pad Pro, which is the Chinese variant of the Pad 2.
Technically, the Pad 2 features a larger 12.1-inch IPS LCD touchscreen in 3K resolution with a 144 Hz refresh rate and 900 nits of peak brightness. The upcoming tablet will also be the first Android tablet fitted with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset outside of China. Meanwhile, it should retain the 9,510 mAh battery, 67-watt charging speed, and cameras helmed by a 13 MP main and 8 MP selfie.
Despite the price hike, the OnePlus Pad 2 still appears a worthy alternative to the Galaxy Tab S9. The latter currently begins at $800 but includes water resistance and offers an AMOLED display.
Pricing for both the new official OnePlus Smart Keyboard and Stylo accessories that will be offered with the OnePlus Pad 2 were revealed as well, which cost Rs. 11,999 ($143) and Rs. 4,999 ($60), respectively.
The company will also unveil the OnePlus Nord 4, Nord Buds Pro 3, and OnePlus Watch 2R, the cheaper version of OnePlus Watch 2 (review) in addition to the tablet. Do you plan to pick up the Pad 2 once it becomes available?
