    Verdict

    OnePlus Pad v/s Samsung Galaxy Tab S8: Which is better?

    OnePlus Pad seems to be a better deal than Galaxy Tab S8, although it comes in a Wi-Fi-only model. It is not meant for buyers seeking a tablet with cellular connectivity.

    The OnePlus Pad has notable features such as a higher refresh rate, more RAM/storage, and bigger battery with faster charging. However, only the tablet's price will determine the kind of reception it gets.
