Accompanied by the OnePlus Stylo 2 and OnePlus Smart Keyboard, it offers a smooth workflow and immersive entertainment. “The OnePlus Pad 2 is built for unparalleled productivity, stress-free office work, and immersive multimedia experiences,” said Kinder Liu, President and COO of OnePlus, in an issued statement to iPhone in Canada.

This is basically a more affordable version of the Watch 2, but in aluminum.
