The author is making a comparison between the OnePlus Pad and the OnePlus Pad Pro, implying that the Pro version is superior due to its more powerful processor and higher-end features. This is an example of an appeal to superiority fallacy. The author also implies that the lack of positive reviews for the original OnePlus Pad may be due to it not being a 'Pro' model, which is an example of a hasty generalization fallacy.
