One of the top contenders in the tablet market is still the iPad, known for its premium design, powerful performance similar to a laptop, extensive app library, and long-lasting battery life. While the iPad remains a strong competitor, Android tablets are rapidly closing the gap. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab line, along with offerings from HONOR, Amazon, and Microsoft, are gaining traction.
The latest entry into the Android tablet arena is the OnePlus Pad 3, a device that has caught the attention of Android enthusiasts. Powered by the high-performance Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, a top-tier processor, the OnePlus Pad 3 promises exceptional speed and efficiency. This cutting-edge chip, already utilized in leading smartphones, is now integrated into this tablet.
In addition to its powerful performance, the OnePlus Pad 3 boasts a 13.2-inch display with a unique 7:5 aspect ratio, 256GB of storage, four speakers, over 15 hours of battery life, and an innovative cooling system featuring vapour chambers to prevent overheating. Despite its ultra-thin profile, the OnePlus Pad 3 is touted as bend-resistant and supports rapid charging with 80W SUPERVOOC technology.
Running on OxygenOS 15, OnePlus’s latest operating system, the OnePlus Pad 3 comes equipped with advanced features, functions, and AI capabilities. Similar to Apple’s iPad, users can enhance their experience by adding a full keyboard case for a laptop-like setup and a stylus for note-taking and drawing on the screen.
Celina Shi, Chief Marketing Officer of OnePlus Europe, expressed excitement about the OnePlus Pad 3, highlighting its blend of cutting-edge hardware, immersive display, portability, AI-driven productivity tools, and powerful speakers for gaming and entertainment. The launch of the OnePlus Pad 3 marks a significant advancement in the Android tablet market for 2025.
