OnePlus has launched the Pad 3 in India, confirming pricing, sale date, and limited‑time offers after its global debut in June. The flagship Android tablet will be available in Storm Blue and Frosted Silver starting 5 September 2025 via Amazon, Flipkart, OnePlus.in, and major retail partners. Prices are set at Rs 42,999 for 12GB/256GB and Rs 52,999 for 16GB/512GB configurations, with bank discounts and bundled accessories for early buyers.
At the heart of the Pad 3 is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5T RAM and UFS 4.0 storage for speedy performance and smooth multitasking. The centerpiece is a 13.2‑inch 3.4K (3392×2400) LCD running at up to 144 Hz, 315 PPI, and 900 nits HBM, with adaptive refresh stepping down as low as 30Hz to save power. Audio is handled by an eight‑speaker array (four mid‑bass + four tweeters) with an omni‑bearing sound field that switches channels based on orientation for a more immersive effect.
The Pad 3 ships with OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15 and tight OnePlus ecosystem features. It can sync with OnePlus phones for OTP relays, cellular data sharing, and rich messaging, along with cross‑device clipboard, notifications, and file transfers. OnePlus also highlights vapor chamber cooling using a graphene composite to sustain performance.
Optics include a 13MP rear camera shifted to the corner and an 8MP front camera for calls. The metal unibody measures just 5.97mm and weighs 675g, packing a 12,140 mAh battery with 80 W SuperVOOC charging rated for a 0–100% refill in about 92 minutes; a quick 10‑minute top‑up delivers roughly 18% charge. Connectivity covers Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, USB‑C (USB 3.2 Gen 1), NFC, and OnePlus’s 5G sharing from a paired phone.
Accessories receive meaningful updates. The new keyboard has larger, more spaced keycaps for a PC‑like feel, adds a dedicated AI key, supports 110–165° adjustable angles, and enables instant magnetic pairing with NFC. Early‑bird purchases between 5 and 7 September include a complimentary OnePlus Stylo 2 and Folio case worth Rs 7,198, plus up to Rs 5,000 bank discount and up to 12‑month no‑cost EMI on select cards.
