Today, we are back with a new gadget from OnePlus, and this product is the OnePlus Pad 3. This pad competes with iPad Air, Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, and some lightweight laptops. This pad has some upgrades that are very important for users who are looking for a pad with great performance in the budget segment by 2025. OnePlus is making a comeback in the premium Android tablet segment. In the OnePlus Pad 3, you can clone your device into a pad with touchscreen functionality, that is, you can clone your phone and your Apple device as well. This pad weighs 675 grams and the thickness is 5.97 mm; it feels so heavy because it has a 12140mAh battery, and there is another reason for the heavy weight, that is its display, which comes with 13.2 inches, and the resolution is 3.4K. In this blog, we are going to explore their exciting features and consider if the OnePlus Pad 3 will be a good option to stick with in 2025, aside from other tablets.

Build Quality, And Display, And Performance
Despite its large display, the Pad 3 is surprisingly thin at 5.97mm and lightweight at around 675g. The aluminium alloy unibody gives it a premium feel without making it too bulky. It’s ideal for long hours of studying, reading, or watching content, and the centrally placed landscape camera makes video calls even more seamless.
The real highlight of the OnePlus Pad 3 is its 13.2-inch LCD. It offers a sharp 3.4K resolution with 900 NITS brightness, which can aim to perform well in Indoor and outdoor environments, making everything from movies to documents look very clear, but some apps don’t have HDR support; YouTube does. But that may be fixed in the future. The 144Hz refresh rate ensures extremely smooth scrolling and gaming, while the peak brightness of 900 nits makes it usable even outdoors. With its unique 7:5 aspect ratio, it’s particularly well-suited for reading, multitasking, and working on split-screen, where you can add 3 multiple window tabs at the same time. Although it’s not an AMOLED panel, the LCD is excellent, offering vibrant colors and great clarity, and easily beats most tablets under ₹50,000.
The OnePlus Pad 3 comes with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite processor. The Pad 3 offers lightning speed and performance, and can run BGMI at 120 FPS without any lag or stutter, which rivals many laptops. Whether you’re playing games at 120fps, editing 4K videos, or using multiple apps in split-screen mode (you can use up to 3 tabs simultaneously on the same screen), this tablet won’t slow you down. With up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, multitasking is super smooth, and app loading times are almost instant. OnePlus has designed the Pad 3 to be more than just a media tablet – it’s a serious productivity device.

Advance Features of OnePlus Pad 3 With Complementary Tools
With the help of the O+ connect app, you can use it as a clone with a touchscreen feature, and also use it as an ecosystem when your phone is connected to the tablet. You don’t need to take calls from the phone; you can take calls from the tablet and focus on work. Another useful feature in the keyboard that doesn’t come with the tab is that you have to pay for it, but if you are buying it, you will get NFC sharing feature on the left and right side of the touchpad, which shares images and files directly from your OnePlus mobile phone to OnePlus Pad 3, and you will get dedicated button for AI which can help as a shortcut to open Gemini. OnePlus Stylo 2 (₹5,499) offers amazing wireless features like screen-off, notes and highlighting something, scrolling down, and scrolling up.
Operating System & Cameras
In the OnePlus Pad 3, you will get OxygenOS 15.0, which is based on Android 15, and with the OnePlus Pad 3, you get 3 years of software updates and 6 years of security patch updates.
The OnePlus Pad 3 offers a balanced camera setup for everyday tasks. At the back, it has a 13MP rear camera that can shoot videos in 4K, 1080p, and 720p at 30fps. Whether you’re scanning documents, recording lectures, or capturing moments, the rear camera performs brilliantly. It also has electronic image stabilization (EIS) for smooth videos and digital zoom support, which is great for casual shooting. At the front, there’s an 8MP camera, which is ideal for video calls, online meetings, or virtual classes. Although you don’t get DSLR-level performance here, the cameras still work well—especially for a tablet priced under ₹50,000.
