OnePlus Pad 3: Global Launch Date Confirmed for Snapdragon 8 Elite Tablet

Get ready, Android tablet enthusiasts! The highly anticipated OnePlus Pad 3 is officially launching globally on June 5th. This announcement follows the device's recent FCC appearance, fueling excitement for its US availability. But what can you expect from this new contender in the tablet market?

OnePlus has confirmed that the OnePlus Pad 3 will be powered by the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, making it one of the first tablets to sport this cutting-edge silicon. While detailed specifications are still under wraps, industry experts like Celina Shi, Chief Marketing Officer at OnePlus Europe, hint at upgraded internals and smarter software.

According to an exclusive interview, the design of the OnePlus Pad 3 veers refreshingly off the predecessors. The rear camera has moved to the top left corner, and the colorway known as Storm Blue is rumored to be “a dusty royal blue that whispers class and style anywhere you go.” Whether the colorway is exclusive to Europe remain to be seen.

The OnePlus Pad 3 will run OxygenOS 15, based on Android 15, introducing enhanced multitasking capabilities with an updated Open Canvas. This feature will supposedly allow users to “have multiple separate programs open at once and flick between them quickly and easily.” Furthermore, Apple Mac users might just find the tablet useful through “new apps and functionality to help Apple Mac users, including remote Mac control and easy file sharing via drag-and-drop.”

OnePlus is also enticing potential buyers with enticing pre-order incentives. Registration on the OnePlus website unlocks discounts, trade-in programs are available, and students receive an additional 10% off. Moreover, early adopters can choose two free gifts from a selection including a OnePlus Pad 3 Smart Keyboard, OnePlus Stylo 2, and OnePlus Pad 3 Folio Case – potentially saving up to $269.

While specifics about display specs, battery tech, and accessories are yet to be revealed, pre-orders will launch in tandem with the product launch. Can the OnePlus Pad 3 live up to the hype and redefine the Android tablet experience in 2025?
