OnePlus’ Pad 2 has a sharp display with a price tag that stings

A good Android tablet that’d be great if it were cheaper.

Like its predecessor, the Pad 2 offers a higher 144Hz variable refresh rate than even Apple and Samsung’s pricier premium tablets, which allows for buttery smooth scrolling and easy navigation. First debuted in the OnePlus Open, the setting now lets you run three apps split-screen and customize their layout — you can then save the trio as a group for quick access, which makes multitasking easier than before. The new leather-like material offers better grip and is comfortable to hold, while OnePlus has also added a new linear motor that makes the tip vibrate to simulate writing with pen and paper.
