OnePlus Pad 3 with Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC makes its India debut, set to go on first sale in September

OnePlus returns to the tablet space with a powerful new addition the OnePlus Pad 3 scheduled to go on sale in India this September. The much-awaited device was globally unveiled alongside the OnePlus 13s, and while Indian fans were left wondering about its release, OnePlus has now officially confirmed its India debut. Pricing details remain under wraps for now but are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Display & Design: Bigger, Brighter, and Sleeker
The OnePlus Pad 3 comes with a large 13.2-inch 3.4K IPS LCD display that boasts a 144Hz refresh rate, 900 nits of peak brightness, and a 540Hz touch sampling rate ideal for gamers and multimedia lovers alike. OnePlus has upgraded the design, replacing the circular camera layout seen on the Pad 2 with a more refined vertical pill-shaped camera module, giving it a sleeker, more professional look.
Despite its large display, the tablet is remarkably slim at just 5.97mm thick and weighs 675 grams, making it portable and easy to carry.
Performance Powerhouse: Snapdragon 8 Elite
Under the hood, the OnePlus Pad 3 is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the same high-performance chip featured in the OnePlus 13 and 13s. It's backed by up to 16GB of LPDDR5T RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, delivering lightning-fast performance and effortless multitasking.
Software & Longevity
Running on OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15, the tablet offers a clean and optimized user experience. OnePlus has promised three years of OS updates and an impressive six years of security patches, ensuring the Pad 3 remains relevant and secure for the long haul.
Multitasking is made seamless with features like Open Canvas, Multi-Device Connect, and more building on the productivity tools introduced in its predecessor.
Camera & Battery: Designed for Daily Use
The OnePlus Pad 3 sports a 13MP rear camera with LED flash and an 8MP front-facing camera, suitable for both work video calls and casual photography. Powering all this is a robust 12,140mAh battery that supports 80W SuperVOOC fast charging, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum usage.
Launch & Availability in India
Although the OnePlus Pad 3 was teased during the OnePlus 13s launch, the India release was delayed. With the official announcement now out, Indian consumers can expect the tablet to hit stores this September. While the price is still a mystery, looking at last year’s OnePlus Pad 2, which started at ₹39,999, we can expect competitive pricing for the Pad 3.
Stay tuned as OnePlus is set to reveal pricing and availability details in the coming weeks.
Final Thoughts
With top-of-the-line specs, a vibrant display, robust performance, and extended software support, the OnePlus Pad 3 positions itself as a premium Android tablet ready to challenge the best in the market. Whether you're a professional, gamer, or casual user, this tablet might just be worth the wait.
