OnePlus Pad 3 (13.2") review

Full review

The OnePlus Pad 3 gives you a 13.2-inch screen and flagship performance at a price close to the base iPad's. If you want a tablet for split-screen work, spreadsheets, reading full A4 pages or simply a big screen for films, it is a strong buy.

The LCD has a very high 3392 x 2400 resolution and refreshes at up to 144Hz, so text is razor sharp and scrolling is smooth. It is not OLED, so blacks are greyer in a dark room than on the Honor MagicPad 4, but colours are accurate and it is bright enough for daytime use. Eight speakers make it one of the best-sounding tablets you can buy.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite with 12GB or 16GB of RAM is among the fastest Android chips around, so games and heavy multitasking are no problem. The 12,140 mAh battery is the biggest on this page and charges at a rapid 80W.

The downsides come from its size: at 675 g it is heavy to hold for long, so a case with a stand or the Smart Keyboard makes sense. There is no microSD slot, no 5G model and no fingerprint sensor listed, and OnePlus has not published an update commitment. It launched in mid-2025, so check the buttons for current offers.
