OnePlus has quietly expanded its tablet lineup in India with the launch of the OnePlus Pad Lite. The move seems aimed at reaching a broader audience looking for a capable yet affordable device. The tablet sports an 11‑inch display, a hefty 9,340 mAh battery, and a quad‑speaker setup. Prices start effectively at ₹12,999, and you’ll be able to grab one from August 1, 2025, at noon.

It’s a budget offering but one that still checks important boxes. You get a solid 16:10 display boasting OnePlus Eye Comfort tech, and support for 10‑bit color, which, I think, is handy for binge‑watching or sketching a bit. On top of that, the screen’s peak brightness of 500 nits should get through bright environments.
Audio is taken care of with a quad‑speaker system certified for Hi‑Res Audio. What’s neat is the Omnibearing Sound Field, which adapts output based on how you’re holding the tablet. Despite the big screen and solid battery, it’s surprisingly slim (7.39 mm) and weighs just 530 g, light enough to hold for a while.
Under the hood, it runs on the MediaTek Helio G100 chipset (6 nm) and OxygenOS 15.0.1. OnePlus has claimed that it’ll stay smooth even after around 36 months of use. The large battery delivers up to 80 hours of music playback, 11 hours of video, or about 54 days of standby time in controlled tests. And it supports 33 W SUPERVOOC fast charging, so you aren’t left waiting around.
Connectivity-wise, the Pad Lite offers some nice extras, if you already own a OnePlus phone running OxygenOS 13.1 or newer, you get screen mirroring, clipboard syncing, and shared gallery support when logged into the same account. There’s also cross‑platform file sharing via Quick Share for Android and O+ Connect for iPhone/iPad users.
Multitasking gets a boost from Open Canvas, letting you resize and run two apps side‑by‑side. Families will appreciate the dedicated Kids Mode, which includes screen‑time controls and app restrictions, plus Google Kids Space pre‑loaded with age‑appropriate content. And of course, there’s an eye‑protection setting on by default.
