OnePlus has officially launched its latest flagship tablet, the OnePlus Pad 3, aiming to redefine the Android tablet market for 2025. This new tablet, set to go on sale on 19th June, combines powerful hardware with intelligent software and AI features to deliver a premium user experience.
A New Benchmark for Android Tablets
“Our OnePlus Pad Series has established a strong reputation for delivering some of the most powerful and productivity-focused tablets on the market – and the launch of the OnePlus Pad 3 is the next big step of this journey,” stated Celina Shi, Chief Marketing Officer, OnePlus Europe. She added that the OnePlus Pad 3 redefines the Android tablet industry in 2025 by bringing together “blazing fast hardware, a vibrant display, ultra-portability, AI enhanced productivity features and booming speakers for immersive gaming and movies.”
Sleek Design and Immersive Display
The OnePlus Pad 3 features an “utterly captivating” design, measuring less than six millimetres thin. It’s all-metal unibody construction ensures both strength and bend resistance. For an immersive audio experience, it boasts eight symmetrically placed speakers (four woofers and four tweeters). The redesigned rear camera, now positioned in the corner instead of the centre, gives the tablet a fresh look for 2025.
The tablet’s front is dominated by OnePlus’s best-ever tablet display: a 13.2-inch screen with a 3.4K resolution, 12-bit colour depth, and a pixel density of 315 PPI. This makes it ideal for everything from high-definition entertainment to professional presentations. Its unique 7:5 aspect ratio also significantly enhances multitasking capabilities.
Unmatched Performance and Endurance
Under the hood, the OnePlus Pad 3 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, one of Qualcomm Technologies’ most powerful and fastest mobile system-on-a-chip. It comes with options of 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage or 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, catering to demanding work and high-end gaming. To sustain extended gaming sessions, the tablet incorporates a robust cooling system with vapour chambers made of a graphene composite material, offering superior heat dissipation compared to competing tablets.
Powering all these features is a massive 12,140 mAh battery. This translates to up to 6 hours of high-end AAA gaming, over 15 hours of short video playback, and more than 17 hours of long video playback. It also boasts an impressive 70-day standby time and can hold its charge for over two full years when switched off. The powerful 80W SUPERVOOC charging allows for an 18% battery boost in just ten minutes.
Smart Software and AI Integration
The OnePlus Pad 3 ships with OxygenOS 15, the latest iteration of OnePlus’s acclaimed operating system. This version includes all the beloved features, functions, and AI tools OnePlus users expect. Productivity features such as AI Writer and AI Summarise simplify document writing, translation, and summarisation. Creative functionalities, such as a wide range of photo customisation tools, are also included, alongside integrated Google AI features like Gemini and Circle to Search.
Open Canvas, OnePlus’s enhanced multitasking solution, has also been upgraded for the Pad 3. This brings an improved system-level drag-and-drop feature and a new approach to split-screen working. For instance, if you’re coordinating a group meetup and find yourself switching between a group chat and a maps app, the OnePlus Pad 3 will intelligently suggest splitting your screen between the two apps.
Enhanced Ecosystem of Accessories
The OnePlus Pad 3 experience is further elevated when paired with its complementary accessories:
- OnePlus Pad Keyboard: The new keyboard features larger, more spaced-out keycaps for a PC-like typing experience, along with useful command keys and a dedicated AI button. It retains the large trackpad and can be adjusted between 110 and 165-degree angles. It supports NFC transfers and instant magnetic connection and is even lighter than its predecessor.
- OnePlus Stylo 2: This stylus recognises all 16,000 different levels of pressure. New functionalities include annotating what’s displayed on the tablet by swiping the pen down from the upper right corner, and instantly accessing the shorthand notes page with a simple tap when the display is off.
- OnePlus Pad 3 Folio Case: This new tri-folding case offers mountain-like stability at various angles. It can be folded into a traditional triangle for a super steady 20-degree angle (ideal for drawing or writing), a new triangular folded design for a 44-degree inclined viewing angle, and a Y-shape for 60 and 72-degree viewing angles for clearer reading. The case automatically switches off the tablet when closed, and a new magnetic buckle securely protects the OnePlus Stylo 2.
