The Asus Pad T3201 offers a high-quality OLED display but suffers from significant software limitations

The Asus Pad T3201 is a 12.2-inch tablet priced at ₹45,999, distinguished primarily by its dual-layer OLED display. While the screen delivers vibrant colors, deep blacks, and peak brightness up to 2000 nits for HDR content, the overall user experience is hampered by unrefined software. The device runs a stock version of Android 16 that exhibits choppy animations, inconsistent icon styling, and occasional bugs, such as the notification panel incorrectly picking up inputs. Furthermore, the tablet lacks basic display customization options, such as manual refresh rate control or color profiles. Performance is handled by the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 chipset, which provides stable, albeit mid-range, performance that does not match the benchmark scores of competitors like the Xiaomi Pad 8 or Motorola Pad 70 Pro. The tablet features a lightweight, 6.5mm-thick fiber glass design and includes a folio case, though the case’s magnetic stand is notably unstable. While the tablet supports 45W charging for its 9000mAh battery and offers decent connectivity, the lack of a clear software update policy and the poor performance of the GlideX cross-device software further limit its appeal.
