Pre-order the OnePlus Pad 3 powerhouse today and score two killer gifts worth a small fortune!
Powered by a cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and equipped with a generously sized 13.2-inch screen capable of playing videos and games at a silky smooth 144Hz refresh rate, the OnePlus Pad 3 might just be the best Android tablet money can buy in the US right now. Of course, the hot new Android 15-running giant doesn't come cheap, fetching $699.99 in a single 256GB storage variant that also packs a respectable 12GB RAM count, but if you hurry, you can substantially sweeten the OnePlus Pad 3 launch deal with two decidedly handy (and impressively valuable) freebies. 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, 13.2-Inch IPS LCD Screen with 3392 x 2400 Pixel Resolution and 144Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Processor, Android 15, 13MP Rear-Facing Camera, 8MP Front-Facing Camera, Eight Speaker Sound System, 12,140mAh Battery, 80W Charging Capabilities, Storm Blue Color, Free Smart Keyboard and OnePlus Stylo 2 Included Pre-order at OnePlus Early OnePlus Pad 3 adopters stateside are actually free to choose two out of three available gifts, but as long as they don't go out of stock, the company's Smart Keyboard and Stylo 2 are clearly much more appealing than the $50-worth Folio Case. The keyboard accessory (that also includes a protective cover) and the second-gen OnePlus pen are normally priced at $199.99 and $99.99 respectively by themselves, which means that you're currently looking at saving a whopping 300 bucks on a high-end tablet setup capable of replacing your conventional laptop. The amazing value you can get here for a limited time undeniably exceeds what a $999.99 Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ typically offers, and if you don't mind the slightly smaller screen, the OnePlus Pad 3 is an objectively better deal than a $1,199.99 and up Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra as well. As for the question that's probably on a lot of Apple fans' minds right now, yes, our in-depth OnePlus Pad 3 review also suggests this is a very worthy rival to the latest and greatest iPad Pros out there, although I'm not sure I would go so far as to describe the 13.2-inch Android super-flagship as better than its direct 13-inch M4 competitor. Available in a single Storm Blue colorway, the OnePlus Pad 3 will be sold alongside these ultra-nice gifts until July 15... or while supplies last, so bargain hunters should probably hurry and secure their early copy at a potentially unbeatable (bundle) price.

OnePlus Pad 3 Shoves a Massive Battery Into Its Super-Skinny Tablet Frame
OnePlus is not playing around this year. Just like its well-received OnePlus 13 flagship Android phone released earlier this year, the main selling point for the new OnePlus Pad 3 tablet is its huge battery. The 5.97mm-thick OnePlus Pad 3 has a 12,140mAh battery—up from 9,510mAh in the previous OnePlus Pad 2. I don't know about you, but I like that OnePlus is packing in larger batteries while slimming down its devices, not the other way around. Oh, and an 80W fast-charging brick is included in the box, which is just a cherry on top. Feature-wise, the OnePlus Pad 3 sounds solid on paper. The screen is a larger 13.2-inch screen with a 3.4K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate versus the 12.1-inch display on the OnePlus Pad 2. Under the hood, the tablet is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and comes with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. OnePlus also increased the six speakers on the OnePlus Pad 2 to eight on the OnePlus Pad 3; a new 'Holo Audio' feature lets you fiddle with spatial audio for various apps like alarms. As with all of OnePlus's devices, the tablet runs a customized version of Android 15 called Oxygen OS 15. It's a fairly clean version of Android—though the similarities to iOS are more obvious than ever—and, naturally, it's pushing a boatload of AI features. These include the usual generative AI features other tech companies have already introduced in their own devices, such as AI Summarize (text message and notification summaries), AI Writer (helps write text based on a prompt), AI Translations, and AI Speak (AI reads articles out loud). There's also built-in Google Gemini support; the Smart Keyboard (sold separately) even has a Gemini key for quick access to the chatbot. Beyond AI, Oxygen OS has a few productivity-focused features, including better multitasking that takes advantage of the larger screen, 'O+ Connect,' which lets you share files between the tablet and PCs, and a 'remote control' feature that lets you control your Mac through the OnePlus Pad 3. All of these should help make the OnePlus Pad 3 (with Smart Keyboard) more laptop-like. If you're looking for a tablet that's not called an iPad or Galaxy, the OnePlus Pad 3 could be a good alternative. Pre-orders begin today, June 5, on OnePlus's website with a release date on July 8 at Amazon, and Best Buy. The tablet costs $699.99 and the Smart Keyboard is $199.99. A Folio Case is $49.99. While there's no new stylus, the previous $99.99 Stylo 2 pen does work with the OnePlus Pad 3 if you're the notetaking or doodling kind.
