The OnePlus Pad’s reservation event has now come to a conclusion with a reveal of its retail pricing in its first few markets (North America and Europe). The first-gen ReadFit Display device will now go to pre-order, during which a second wave of buyers can buy it in full with the possibility of “gifts” thrown in for free.
OnePlus dedicated its first ever Blind Sales for the North American and European markets to its new Pad, which, as the device is the brand’s tablet, was kind of appropriate. The company claims to have successfully completed the events with all units sold, without even disclosing their price once.
However, the Pad’s final cost at retail is now out there: US$479, CA$649 or €499 for a SKU with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage in the tablet’s single Halo Green colorway. For those who find this a reasonable price for the first-gen Dimensity 9000-powered device but were unwilling to take a chance on reserving it, another shot at owning one is coming up.
OnePlus has announced that the Pad will be back up to pre-order via its website from April 28, 2023. It will be offered with yet more “gifts” (not necessarily those specified during the Blind Sale), a free trial of YouTube Premium and an offer of up to 30% off additional accessories such as the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 (currently US$179 on Amazon).

I became a professional writer and editor shortly after graduation. My degrees are in biomedical sciences; however, they led to some experience in the biotech area, which convinced me of its potential to revolutionize our health, environment and lives in general. This developed into an all-consuming interest in more aspects of tech over time: I can never write enough on the latest electronics, gadgets and innovations. My other interests include imaging, astronomy, and streaming all the things. Oh, and coffee.
