The mid-range OnePlus Pad is a real gem at the current Amazon price

Feel like standard Android tablets just don't meet your needs? Then the OnePlus Pad, with its somewhat unconventional 7:5 aspect ratio, might be a better fit for you. This tablet normally costs nearly $480, but you won't have to shell out the full retail price if you take advantage of this Amazon deal.

At the time of writing, you can save $80 on this ultra-cool first-generation tablet from the e-commerce giant. While that's not the best price ever, as we saw it at a slightly more attractive $110 discount during Prime Day last month, it's still a great way to save money. This is even more true when you consider that the more modern OnePlus Pad 2 is still available at its list price of almost $550. While it's undoubtedly more expensive than some of the more popular budget tablets on the market, this tablet impresses with its ReadFit ratio screen. The display measures 11.61 inches and OnePlus says it offers improved tactile comfort and readability, thanks precisely to its 7:5 ratio. You also get smooth 144Hz refresh rates for a pleasant scrolling and streaming experience.

Additionally, the device features a MediaTek 9000 chipset for solid mid-range performance. The device has 8GB of RAM, so you get some multitasking capabilities, but don't expect it to behave like a Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.

What's particularly cool here is the ultra-long standby time. The OnePlus Pad is said to remain ready for use for up to a month, so you can pick up where you left off weeks ago. The 9,510mAh battery also supports super-fast wired charging with 67W, so a full charge only takes 60 minutes.

You get extras like upgraded quad speakers with Dolby Atmos, giving you optimal sound no matter how your tablet is oriented, and OnePlus TV control. If you think this bad boy is right for you, now is a good time to grab one for cheap. Amazon's deal won't last forever, so we recommend picking one up soon.
