OnePlus Pad 3 Is Here — And It’s said to be one of The Most Powerful Android Tablet of 2025
A Blazing-Fast Productivity Beast With AI Brains, Unrivaled Display, and Design That Turns Heads
OnePlus has just dropped what may be the most exciting tablet of the year: the OnePlus Pad 3. Officially unveiled on June 5 and launching globally on June 19, this sleek slice of innovation is more than just a pretty face. It’s a powerhouse wrapped in aluminium, oozing style, speed, and AI smarts, all aimed at changing the way we think about Android tablets.
“Our OnePlus Pad Series has already carved out a reputation for power and productivity,” said Celina Shi, Chief Marketing Officer for OnePlus Europe. “But the Pad 3 takes things to the next level, with a lightning-fast chipset, immersive multimedia, and AI-powered tools that make work and play ridiculously smooth.”
Sleek, Slim, and Seriously Stylish
At just under six millimetres thick, the OnePlus Pad 3 is practically featherweight but feels rock solid in your hand thanks to its aluminium unibody design. Its aesthetic gets a 2025 refresh with a repositioned rear camera and a punchy new look in Storm Blue. Eight symmetrically placed speakers: four woofers and four tweeters, are built into the frame, making it a portable surround sound system.
Front and centre is OnePlus’s most dazzling display yet. We’re talking 13.2 inches of 3.4k resolution glory, 12-bit colour depth, and 315 PPI of eye-candy pixel density. The unique 7:5 aspect ratio isn’t just quirky, it’s multitasking magic, letting you run multiple apps side-by-side like a pro.
Peak Power, Peak Performance
What’s under the hood? Only the best. The OnePlus Pad 3 runs on Qualcomm’s top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (aka “Elite Mobile Platform”) and is available in two configurations: 12GB RAM with 256GB storage, or a monster 16GB RAM with 512GB storage. Whether you’re editing 4K videos, designing in Procreate, or diving into an extended Genshin Impact session, this tablet won’t flinch.
The 12,140mAh battery is built for marathons, not sprints. You get up to 6 hours of AAA gaming, over 15 hours of TikTok scrolling or short video playback, and a whopping 17+ hours of binge-worthy long video viewing. And if you’re the forgetful type? It holds charge on standby for 70 days. Just ten minutes on the 80W SUPERVOOC charger gives you 18% battery.
A Brainy OS That Works With You
Running OxygenOS 15, OnePlus Pad 3 is buttery smooth and deeply intelligent. AI Writer, AI Summarize, and a suite of smart features like Circle to Search, Google Gemini, and advanced image editing tools mean it’s not just a tablet, it’s a productivity assistant.
Open Canvas, OnePlus’s proprietary multitasking system, also sees a massive upgrade. Whether you’re dragging and dropping files across apps or letting the OS suggest side-by-side split screen layouts based on your behavior, it’s never been easier to juggle tasks like a boss.
Accessories That Actually Make Sense
Let’s talk gear. The new OnePlus Smart Keyboard is a stunner, with wider, spaced-out keys for a full laptop feel, built-in command keys, a dedicated AI button, and a massive trackpad. It magnetically snaps on, adjusts from 110 to 165 degrees, and supports NFC file transfers.
The OnePlus Stylo 2 stylus? A dream. With 16,000 levels of pressure sensitivity and slick shortcuts like instant annotations or note-taking from a screen-off tap, it’s built for creative flow.
And the Folio Case? Say goodbye to wobbly angles. It folds into a steady 20° triangle for drawing, 44° for chill scrolling, or up to 72° for reading and streaming, and includes a magnetic buckle to securely stash your stylus.
Launch Details and Tempting Treats
Pre-orders for the OnePlus Pad 3 opened on June 5th, with general availability beginning at 09:00AM BST on June 19.
Here’s the price tag:
- 12GB + 256GB: £529
- 16GB + 512GB: £599
Accessories sold separately:
- Stylo 2: £99

But here’s where it gets interesting, early birds in Europe can snag some slick perks. A £70 discount brings the 16GB/512GB version down to the 256GB price. Plus, you get to choose one free gift: the Smart Keyboard, the Stylo 2, the Folio Case, or the 80W SUPERVOOC GaN power adapter kit.
It’s all up for grabs until stock runs dry.
The Verdict: Your Next Tablet Might Just Be This One

Whether you’re sketching your next big idea, managing your side hustle, streaming your favourite series, or just showing off at the café, the OnePlus Pad 3 isn’t just another tablet. It’s the tablet for 2025.
