I did a lot of searching around to figure out what the best tablet was for my use case in this price bracket of sub $400 tablets.
My main use case is content, such as Crunchyroll, HiDive for anime, YouTube and Netflix all of which this tablet is great for. The aspect ratio is a little weird but it isn't an issue for me at all. The quad speakers sound great for content, they more than met my expectations from experience with budget tablet speakers. They are pretty solid speakers. The screen is great, make sure to at least test the "vivid color" option (HDR) it makes the colors and contrast pop a lot more.
This is my first experience with a OnePlus device and OxygenOS and I have so far enjoyed it. It's been about a week and I haven't encountered any hiccups or issues with it myself. So far for the money it's been an amazing tablet.
I spent a good bit of time comparing the Dimensity 9000 to other chips like the SnapDragon 8 gen 1 and others, for best performance of the chipset because I did want it to handle some mobile gaming. I don't play Genshin Impact but I do play Honkai: Star Rail and it handles it great. Sub $400 this was the best new option I could find for performance and the whole package really. Supervooc charging (67w) is amazing for the tablet. From like 25% to 100% in about an hour or so. I use the limited charging so it stops charging at 80% to extend the life of the battery.
If you're looking for a great all around tablet with a great screen, solid speakers, battery life and performance this is a great deal for this price range. You basically need to spend another $100 to beat it's specs if you want to buy new.
The only Con for me is the lack of expandable storage. I don't think it warrants a 4/5 star for that alone since it's not a big deal for me personally, but it is something to be aware of.
