BENGALURU, INDIA – OnePlus has officially confirmed that the OnePlus Pad 4 will launch in India on April 30, 2026. Positioned as the successor to the highly-rated Pad 3, this new flagship is designed to blur the line between tablets and laptops, focusing on “PC-level productivity” and industry-leading performance.
The announcement highlights a major hardware jump, with the Pad 4 becoming one of the first tablets to feature Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
PC-Level Productivity: Beyond the Browser
The “PC-level” claim centers on a new software suite integrated with OnePlus AI and enhanced multitasking capabilities
-
Desktop-Style Multitasking: A redesigned “Open Canvas” system allows for more fluid app window management, resembling a desktop OS more than a traditional mobile interface.
-
Seamless Cross-Device Connectivity: Deep integration with OnePlus smartphones and Windows PCs allows for instant file dragging, clipboard sharing, and screen mirroring.
-
The Smart Keyboard & Stylo Pro: OnePlus is launching a new magnetic keyboard with a larger haptic trackpad and the Stylo Pro, which features lower latency and pressure sensitivity optimized for creative professionals.

Design and Aesthetics
The OnePlus Pad 4 will retain the premium metal unibody design and the signature pill-shaped centered camera module seen on its predecessor. It will be available in two new nature-inspired colorways:
-
Dune Glow: A warm, iridescent gold-sand finish.
-
Sage Mist: A muted, professional matte green.
Why It Matters
With a 13.2-inch 3.4K display and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5—which reportedly rivals the performance of Apple’s M4 chips—OnePlus is moving away from the “mid-range flagship” territory and directly challenging the iPad Pro and Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.
Availability
While the India launch is locked for April 30, 2026, global availability remains unconfirmed. Pricing is expected to see a slight increase due to the rising costs of the 3nm Gen 5 components, with estimates starting at approximately ₹54,999 ($749).
