Both the Pixel Tablet and OnePlus Pad cost below $400 this Cyber Monday
You have two excellent under-$400 Android tablets to choose from.
There are plenty of great tablets, but not many of them cost below $500. Both the Google Pixel Tablet and the OnePlus Pad have their own unique set of features that make them value buys, and they both retail for around $500. Thanks to Cyber Monday offers, you can score either tablet for below $400, saving you a whole $100.
Believe it or not, these tablets have some similarities in terms of specs. You get 8GB RAM, 11-inch displays, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and Android 13 out of the box. When it comes to the Google Pixel Tablet vs. OnePlus Pad, choosing the right tablet for you depends entirely on your needs.
The Pixel Tablet comes with a Charging Speaker Dock. You can use it as a smart home hub and it has plenty of neat AI features thanks to the Tensor G2 chipset. You get the accessory with the tablet, so you get more value for your money.
On the other hand, the OnePlus Pad has more raw power. You get a snappier and slightly larger LCD screen with a 144Hz refresh rate. It's powered by the robust Mediatek Dimensity 9000 chipset and the battery is much larger than Google's Pixel Tablet. The OnePlus Pad has a 9,510mAh cell and 67W SuperVOOC USB-C charging as opposed to the Pixel Tablet's 7,020mAh battery and 15W USB-C/dock charging.

Price tracker: Best Buy - $399.99
OnePlus Pad: $479.99 $399.99 at Amazon
The OnePlus Pad is a lot more powerful than the Pixel Tablet, but you don't get any accessories with it. Besides that, the OnePlus Pad is more powerful and gives you more value for money in every aspect, be it for the powerful processor or the superb battery specs.
Price tracker: OnePlus - $399.99
Now, unfortunately, OnePlus doesn't include the companion accessories of the Pad for free. We understand this, seeing as the Pad comes with premium specs like Dolby Vision Atmos and a flagship processor.
So, if you want to make the most of your $400 OnePlus Pad, you'll have to spend another $69.99 for the OnePlus Stylo and $99.99 for the Magnetic Keyboard. These are discounted Cyber Monday prices though, so you should buy the accessories right now rather than save up and get them later.
OnePlus Magnetic Keyboard: $149.99 $99.99 at Amazon
Your OnePlus Pad experience is incomplete without a matching keyboard. If you want to stick with first-party accessories, the OnePlus Magnetic Keyboard is a must-have.
OnePlus Stylo: $99.99 $69.99 at Amazon
This is the official stylus for the OnePlus Pad. You can attach the OnePlus Stylo to the side of your Pad magnetically. It supports 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity and has a low 2ms latency.
