Android Hire Verdict — Excellent Display, Promising Comeback
The ASUS Pad (T3201) is a genuinely strong comeback to tablets for ASUS, headlined by a 12.2-inch dual-layer OLED panel that beats most rivals on refresh rate, brightness and color, wrapped in a slim 6.5mm body with a 9,000mAh battery built for long entertainment sessions. The Dimensity 8300 chipset, quad Dolby Atmos speakers and stylus/keyboard support round it out as a capable media and productivity slate. Just don't expect flagship cameras, a fingerprint sensor or cellular connectivity — and with no independent reviews or confirmed pricing outside India yet, it's one to watch rather than buy on day one.
Benchmarks
No device-specific benchmark exists yet — the ASUS Pad (T3201) hasn't shipped or been independently tested (release expected August 6, 2026). These are typical MediaTek Dimensity 8300 chipset-class scores from third-party testing (Notebookcheck), so treat them as indicative rather than device-tested; a tablet's cooling can also sustain performance differently than the phones most chipset benchmarks are measured on.
