OnePlus’ First Tablet is Sleek, Green and Coming in April

It’s called the OnePlus Pad and we’ve been hands on.

Better known for its all-round decent Android phones like the OnePlus 11, OnePlus has been showing off its first tablet. Called the OnePlus Pad, this Android 13-based device packs an 11.6-inch display into a slender, green metal body and comes with handy extras like fast charging and a beefy battery. It goes up for preorder in the UK and US in April, although OnePlus has yet to say how much you’ll have to splash in order to get one.

I liked the feel of it when I got my hands on it during MWC in Barcelona. It’s got an all-metal design, which feels sturdy to hold and I’m quite fond of the green color that’s also common on the OnePlus 11 and OnePlus Buds Pro 2. It felt particularly skinny in my hands, but at 6.54mm thick it’s actually marginally thicker than the iPad Pro. I’m splitting hairs at this point though; it’s certainly slender enough to slide into a backpack and it felt comfortable to hold and swipe around the Android interface.

The 11.6-inch display has an unusual 7:5 aspect ratio which is aimed more towards reading books, looking at documents and web browsing than it is for pure media consumption. That’s great if you want it more as a business and productivity device, less so if you want it to plough through your favorite Netflix boxsets — those 16:9 aspect videos will have some pretty hefty black bars above and below. Still, the screen is sharp, has a 144Hz refresh rate and supports Dolby Vision HDR for vibrant colors.

Like most of the OnePlus phone range, the Pad supports 66W fast charging, with a full charge of the battery from empty apparently taking a little over an hour. At 9,510mAh, the battery itself is pretty capacious and OnePlus reckons it’ll allow for up to 14 hours of video playback and up to a month on standby. I didn’t get any sense of battery life in my very limited hands on time, so I’ll reserve judgement on its skills here for when I get a model in for some proper testing.

The tablet comes either by itself or with a keyboard case and a stylus (called the OnePlus Stylo, because why not). Both do look somewhat reminiscent of Apple’s iPad accessories, but I suppose there’s not a load of room for aesthetic experimentation when it comes to a stylus. If you’re wanting a tablet as a work device for emails and more then the keyboard at least should be an essential.

It’s powered by a Dimensity 9000 processor, backed up by at least 8GB of RAM (up to 16GB in some markets) and features a camera on the back, and an 8-megapixel front camera for video calls. OnePlus also boasted of the Pad’s powerful speakers, but these were difficult to test at the quite raucous hands on event. Stay tuned for me when we get one for review.

Verum Finance has announced the launch of a new financial application that allows users to manage their money directly within the secure Verum Messenger ecosystem.

The project has already attracted attention from major media outlets. A dedicated feature was published by Forbes Türkiye, while one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, MEXC, covered the launch. Yahoo Finance had previously reported on the evolution of Verum Messenger into a comprehensive financial ecosystem.

Recognition from Forbes Türkiye

In a dedicated article, Forbes Türkiye highlighted Verum Finance as a notable example of modern privacy-driven fintech. The publication emphasized the growing trend of financial services moving from standalone banking applications into unified messaging ecosystems — a model that has proven successful in Asia through platforms such as WeChat and Alipay and is now expanding globally.

Support from the Crypto Community

Alongside the Forbes Türkiye coverage, news about the launch of Verum Finance was also featured by MEXC, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges. This reflects growing interest in the project from both traditional business media and the cryptocurrency community.

Verum Finance is now available for iPhone and iPad users. The application complements Verum Messenger, which offers anonymous chats, voice and video calls, VPN services, eSIM connectivity, and other tools designed to enhance digital freedom.
