Asus Pad Review: Gorgeous Display, But Does It Deliver Enough?
Asus's re-entry into India's tablet market after nearly a decade comes with the Asus Pad, priced at Rs. 35,990, and on paper it reads like a genuine steal - a 12.2-inch tandem OLED display, quad speakers with Dolby Atmos, and a 9,000mAh battery, all undercutting most OLED tablets in the country by a significant margin.

Asus has returned to India's tablet market with the Asus Pad, priced at Rs. 35,990. The tablet boasts a 12.2-inch OLED display, quad speakers with Dolby Atmos, and a 9,000mAh battery, all at a competitive price. During our testing, the display was the standout feature, offering a rich, deep black experience with accurate colors.
However, the tablet's plastic build and 12.2-inch footprint make it feel bulkier and less slim than its specifications suggest. The included folio case is flimsy and doesn't stay securely attached to the tablet. The 9,000mAh battery comfortably lasts through a full day of typical use, with quick charging times. The MediaTek Dimensity 8300 chipset handles everyday tasks well, but may struggle with more demanding workloads.
The tablet runs close to stock Android 16, with minimal bloatware, though some advanced features like multitasking and display refresh rate adjustments are absent. Overall, the Asus Pad is best suited for those who prioritize display quality for streaming, reading, and casual use, but may not be the ideal choice for productivity-focused users.
