A New Era for OnePlus Tablets
OnePlus has officially taken the wraps off its latest tablet, the OnePlus Pad 3. The new model focuses on a bigger visual experience and impressive performance improvements over its predecessor. With pre-orders now open across Europe and North America, the Pad 3 emerges as a compelling option for those seeking productivity and entertainment in one device.
Upgraded Display and Sleek Design
The Pad 3 arrives in a stylish Storm Blue finish and sports a significantly larger 13.2-inch IPS LCD display. With a 3.4K resolution of 2400 by 3392 pixels, 12-bit color depth, support for Dolby Vision HDR, and up to 900 nits of brightness, the screen targets both creators and movie lovers. Stylus support remains in place for note-takers and artists alike.
Performance Takes Center Stage
Under the hood, the OnePlus Pad 3 receives a big boost with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (Elite) processor. Enhanced cooling ensures sustained speeds, while the RAM options set it apart. Buyers can choose between a 12GB RAM/256GB storage variant or an even more powerful 16GB RAM/512GB storage model. The higher-end version also features faster LPDDR5T memory to help heavy multitaskers and professionals push their workflows further.
Sound, Battery, and Smart Features
OnePlus increases the speaker count to eight, promising more immersive audio for streaming or video calls. Battery life gets a considerable upgrade with a sizable 12,140mAh cell that charges rapidly at 80W. This means less waiting and more doing, compared to last year’s Pad 2. The software, fueled by Google Gemini AI, supports smarter writing, translation, and summarization, while seamless syncing with OnePlus phones and even Mac file sharing add convenience for users in mixed-device environments.
Accessories and Early-Bird Offers
The Pad 3 launches alongside the updated Stylo 2 pen and Smart Keyboard, which now comes with NFC, a trackpad, and dedicated function keys for elevated productivity. Those who pre-order in Europe can snap up the 16GB/512GB model for the same price as the base variant, elevating the device’s value. Other incentives include free accessories, trade-in options, and special discounts for students. Shipping will start on July 2.
