Just a few weeks ago, I showcased the best OnePlus smartphones in 2026, and now the company has announced two new products at once. On May 18 at 10:00 AM Moscow time, sales of the OnePlus Pad 4 tablet and the OnePlus Nord CE6 smartphone begin on AliExpress. Let me start with the tablet — there’s a lot to talk about. And there’s a reason to hurry.
OnePlus launches sales of a top-tier tablet and smartphone
Where to Buy OnePlus Pad 4 in Russia and at What Price
OnePlus Pad 4 in Russia will be available on AliExpress starting May 18 at 10:00 AM Moscow time. Sales run until June 1 at 09:59 AM Moscow time. The price of OnePlus Pad 4 starts from 44,999 rubles for the 12/256 GB version and from 51,999 rubles for 12/512 GB. Two colors to choose from: Dune Glow — a warm golden-sandy shade, and Sage Mist — a muted gray-green.
OnePlus has announced two new products at once
Now the main reason to hurry. From May 18 to 22 (the first five days of sales), every OnePlus Pad 4 order comes with the official OnePlus Stylo Pro stylus as a gift. The stylus is sold separately and costs money. Getting it for free with the tablet purchase is a great deal, especially if you plan to draw, take notes, or simply want the complete set. After May 22, the gift disappears, but the tablet remains.
OnePlus Pad 4 Specifications
Let’s see what exactly the buyer gets for 45 thousand rubles. OnePlus Pad 4 specifications in numbers:
| Specifications | OnePlus Pad 4 |
|---|---|
| Display | 13.2 inches, IPS (3392×2400), 144 Hz |
| Main Camera | 13 MP |
| Front Camera | 8 MP |
| Processor | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 |
| Memory | 12/256 or 12/512 GB |
| Battery | 13,380 mAh |
| Charging | 80 W |
A few details that don’t fit in the table. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor scores 4,186,268 points in AnTuTu — it’s the most powerful mobile chip available today. The body thickness of 5.94 mm with such a battery is an engineering achievement. Eight speakers divided into four woofers and four tweeters. A new magnetic antenna that automatically switches to the best signal. The Cryo-velocity cooling system with a vapor chamber area of 40,760 mm², meaning the tablet doesn’t overheat even under load.
The tablet’s specs are the best of the best
How OnePlus Pad 4 Is Better Than OnePlus Pad 3
If you already have the OnePlus Pad 3, the reasonable question arises: is it worth upgrading? Look at the specific improvements. The processor changed from Snapdragon 8 Elite to Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5: CPU performance increased by about 20%, and energy efficiency improved by 35%. In practice, this means not just “faster” but “faster and longer battery life.” The battery grew from 12,140 to 13,380 mAh (plus 1,240 mAh). File download speed over Wi-Fi increased by 120% thanks to the new magnetic antenna. Stylo Pro instead of Stylo 2 — 16,000 pressure levels compared to the previous generation.
Among the best tablets in 2026, OnePlus Pad 4 takes the top spot for good reason. In terms of overall specifications, it has virtually no competitors in this price range. If the OnePlus Pad 3 suits you and you’re not a gamer or involved in video editing — the difference will be unnoticeable in everyday scenarios. If you’re buying a tablet from scratch — go straight for the fourth generation.
OnePlus Nord CE6 — A Smartphone with a Powerful Battery
Alongside the tablet, the OnePlus Nord CE6 smartphone launches on May 18. It somewhat gets overshadowed by the flagship tablet, but it shouldn’t be.
With a battery like this, the smartphone can easily last 2 days on a single charge
OnePlus Nord CE6 specifications:
- AMOLED display 6.78 inches, resolution 2772×1272, 144 Hz, brightness up to 3600 nits;
- Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, 8 GB LPDDR4X, 256 GB UFS 3.1;
- Main camera 50 MP with OIS, front camera 32 MP with autofocus;
- Battery 7500 mAh, 80 W charging, 27 W reverse charging;
- IP68/IP69K protection and military standard MIL-STD-810H;
- OxygenOS 16 on Android 16.
The price of OnePlus Nord CE6 is 23,999 rubles for the 8/256 GB version. Colors: Fresh Blue and Pitch Black. This is an affordable and powerful smartphone with real water protection, military certification, and a battery that lasts 2–2.5 days with moderate use. 80 W charging with such a battery means about an hour to a full charge. For 24 thousand rubles, it’s hard to complain.
Buying the OnePlus Nord CE6 makes sense for those who want a smartphone with a truly large battery and aren’t afraid of water — for an active lifestyle or simply as a reliable everyday device.
