OnePlus Pad 3 Tablet Review | Crazy Performance & Battery Life

The OnePlus Pad 3 is one of the best Android tablets of 2025 for battery life and performance, a proper rival to the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro and iPad. I've been testing the OnePlus Pad 3 for a couple of weeks so here's my verdict! The tablet is released in the UK on June 12 for £529.

With its Snapdragon 8 Elite gaming performance, serious longevity between charges and premium specs, the OnePlus Pad 3 is certainly an enjoyable tablet for work or play. However, it's still a bit quirky and not cheap, especially if you want those accessories like the smart keyboard cover.

I enjoyed multi-tasking with the OnePlus Pad 3, thanks to that 'Open Canvas' OxygenOS setup and beefy power. Gaming is a slick and smooth experience too, with top Android titles like Wuthering Waves running well on higher graphics settings. So you'll have no problems with PubG or Call of Duty either.

Battery life is another highlight on the OnePlus Pad 3. That upgraded cell capacity vs the Pad 2 means up to 20 hours of action or 5 hours of gaming before you need to plug in. However, you will once again have to provide your own charger!

The OnePlus Pad 3 also has a decent-enough camera, a gorgeous, proper sharp display, powerful speakers and a solid metal design. So, what do you reckon, tempted by this premium tablet? Let us know below!
