OnePlus is known for its smooth and fast smartphones and the company's first tablet is no different.The OnePlus Pad has an excellent design that’s comfortable to hold, with optional accessories including a keyboard case and stylus.It looks and feels a lot like an iPad, but tablet runs Android software.

Regardless, we’d love a fourth guy here. You never know how much you’ll end up doing ...
