OnePlus had launched its flagship tablet Pad 3 globally in June 2025, but it was not available to purchase in India to date but However, they have finally announced the sale date now. The OnePlus Pad 3 will be available to purchase on 5 September. You can purchase it through Amazon, Flipkart, the OnePlus India online store, and offline retail partners. On paper, the device seems solid for the bucks you will spend to buy it. 

The device has many things to offer at a reasonable price – be it a great processor, stunning display, or huge battery.

The Tablet has a 13.2-inch (3392×2400 pixels) 3.4K LCD LTPS display with a 144 Hz refresh rate. At just 5.97mm, the OnePlus Pad 3 is slimmer than a pencil yet packed with powerhouse performance.

Pad 3 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform processor. On the storage side, the phone has 16GB+512GB as the highest option, with RAM being LPDDR5X on the 12GB Version and LPDDR5T on the 16GB version, and both storage option comes with UFS 4.0

The Tablet has a 13MP main sensor and an 8MP selfie camera. Well, the camera isn’t the main highlight of the device anyway, so we are not expecting too much from it here..

Tab 3 has a massive 12.140 mAh battery paired with an 80W charger. So on the charging speed and full-day support side, we are already sorted – at least I think so. Doesn’t matter if you do hardcore gaming or multitasking; 12,140 mAh is still huge, and the fast charger is there for easy top-up, so no need to worry. The only concern one can have about this is how much OnePlus has optimized its UI to not drain the whole battery itself.

The tablet comes with 8 speakers – 4 bass units and 4 tweeters – for a balanced and powerful sound. It supports both Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio, giving you clear separation and an immersive experience for movies, music, and games.

Despite packing a larger battery, OnePlus has managed to make the tablet 675g – it’s lighter than many tablets in this segment. OnePlus Pad 3 is fully equipped with its AI features like AI Translation, AI Summary, AI Writer, Circle to Search, and AI Speak
