The OnePlus Pad 3 continues the brand’s design legacy with a refined aesthetic and solid build quality, making it feel just as premium as it performs. Crafted with a precision-milled all-metal unibody, the tablet boasts an ultra-slim profile of just 5.97 mm (even slimmer than 6.49 mm Pad 2), making it one of the slimmest tablets in its class, while still feeling sturdy and premium in hand. The Pad 3 comes in two refined finishes – Storm Blue and Frosted Silver.
Front and center is the massive 13.2-inch LTPS LCD display with a crisp 3.4K+ resolution (3,392 x 2,400 pixels, 315 PPI) and a cinematic 7:5 aspect ratio, offering expansive real estate for work, entertainment, and multitasking. It supports a smooth 144 Hz adaptive refresh rate, up to 900 nits of brightness (HBM), and 12-bit color depth, delivering over 68.7 billion colors for ultra-vivid visuals, while the slim bezels ensure a nearly edge-to-edge viewing experience.
With its huge display, OnePlus has put an 8-speaker setup – 4 woofers and 4 tweeters – on the Pad 3, delivering a rich, surround sound experience. This powerful stereo configuration makes it a multimedia powerhouse; no wonder you’re watching high-definition content or playing graphics-heavy games.
For internals, the OnePlus Pad 3 is powered by Qualcomm’s most powerful chip – the Snapdragon 8 Elite octa-core SoC paired with up to 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512 GB UFS 4.0 storage. It also features an Adreno 830 GPU designed to deliver smooth gameplay.
The OnePlus Pad 3 packs a large 12,140 mAh battery in a 5.97mm slimmer size, with support for 80W SuperVOOC fast charging. For cameras, the Pad 3 comes with a single 13 MP camera on the rear side and an 8 MP camera for selfies and video calls.
The OnePlus Pad 3 runs on OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15 with AI features such as AI Writer, AI Summarize, designed to make writing, translating, and summarising documents easier, as well as creativity functions like a wide range of photo customisation tools and Google AI features like Gemini and Circle to Search. OnePlus Pad 3 also comes with Open Canvas, featuring new upgrades like a system-level drag and drop function and a new way of starting split-screen working.
The OnePlus Pad 3 folio case now adopts a tri-folding design that delivers rock-solid stability across various angles. Whether you fold it into a triangle for a steady 20° angle ideal for sketching and writing, set it to a 44° incline for straight-on viewing, or opt for the Y-fold for 60° or 72° angles, the case ensures versatility and comfort. When not in use, the case automatically puts the tablet to sleep when closed. It also features a new magnetic buckle to securely hold the OnePlus Stylo 2.
The new Smart Keyboard introduces larger, more spaced-out keycaps, mimicking a traditional PC-style typing experience. It also adds a range of functional command keys and a dedicated AI button to streamline daily workflows. The trackpad remains generously sized, while the entire unit is now slightly lighter. The keyboard supports adjustable tilt angles between 110° and 165°, NFC transfers, and instant magnetic connection.
Another addition to the OnePlus Pad 3 is the new OnePlus Stylo 2 stylus, which supports 16,000 levels of pressure sensitivity. The stylus can now be used more intuitively: a downward swipe in the upper-right corner of the screen instantly opens annotation mode, while tapping the screen when it’s off launches the shorthand note page for quick scribbles.
The price for the OnePlus Pad 3 starts at $699.99 in the US for its base model 12 GB RAM + 256 GB Storage, however, the official pricing for India is yet to be announced. The OnePlus Pad 3 Smart Keyboard costs $199.99 in the US, and the OnePlus Folio Case costs $49.99 in the US. The OnePlus Pad 3 will be available in India soon. More details, including audio performance, CPU benchmarks, AI features, and battery life, will be covered soon in our full review. Stay tuned.
