Complementing this is the OnePlus Stylo 2, which now provides 16,000 levels of pressure sensitivity and added shortcuts for seamless use. The tri-fold folio case allows you to select various viewing angles to enhance your productivity.
Performance-wise, the Pad 3 is powered by the impressive Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, promising significant boosts in CPU and GPU performance. Users can opt for either 12GB of RAM with 256GB of storage or 16GB with 512GB.
With a hefty 12,140mAh battery, OnePlus claims the tablet can run videos for over 17 hours and last up to 70 days on standby. Pricing for the OnePlus Pad 3 starts at $699.99 and is available for pre-order.
The device operates on OxygenOS 15, offering features tailored to its larger screen and enhanced AI capabilities. Users can expect three Android OS updates and six years of security updates, ensuring the tablet remains up-to-date for years to come.
